Thread: 9/8 Greaves needs some help...

I have a razor just like it. Great shaver. You should find that there is a mosaic under all that patina. I did when cleaning mine , it didnt survive

I'd say 1830s-40s based on blade shape. Greaves opened the Sheaf Works in 1826 but I'm not sure when they stopped stamping only "Greaves and Sons". With that mark it's definitely before 1850.

Great looking razor for a hone and shave! looks like it will make a damn fine shaver!!

This kind of large blade, with these noses were in favour in the 1840's, a really nice item !

Thanks guys! I'm really happy to hear its Pre 1850's at least.

After a closer look to the minor crack in the scales, it's not at the pin but just above it.

I think I may just have her honed up and leave as is.

I tried looking for an outline but didn't notice anything
