Wade & Butcher G.R. 15/16”

by @milarsky · Jul 16

An unrestored Wade & Butcher near wedge. This 15/16” blade is extremely dense and heavy and still wears the original scales. It glides through facial hair like butter. Truly an amazing artifact. The GR stamp dates it to the reign of King George III, between 1760 through 1820.

Greaves "American"

W. Greaves & Sons SheafWorks "American Razor". This 7/8" beauty has a decorative double scalloped spine, and a very deep hand etched eagle. Original horn scales with a mother of pearl inlay. This was simply cleaned up and honed. It has a very comfortable and keen edge.

A pair of William Greaves & Sons 6/8” near wedges. The double coffin storage box is super cool. Both have Sheaf-works horn scales with stamped nameplates. All original collars and pins. Great shavers.
