    The Wm. Greaves in the top photo is a full wedge I'd say, as I can't detect any concavity when viewed in cross section, and the funny thing about that Greaves is how thin and small the tang feels compared to the blade (7/8). It doesn't show too well in the photo but it's also got a subtle oblique point, which seems to just add to the overall funkiness - but it's a funk I like. ;)
    The George Savage & Sons in the bottom two photos is what I'd call a quarter hollow grind - you can see the cross section in the second photo.

    It might be too nice to shave with, Mike.

    Joseph Rodgers 13/16 near wedge. Another great shave from this ol' Sheffield. Cella whipped up with a reset SOC, alum & witch-hazel as per...I think it's fair to say this straight razor thing's got it's hooks in me! Have a great weekend folks.

    I am a big RR fan. How do you like the green tea. That's the only scent I have not tried

    I think it's excellent. Nice scent and typical RR performance. A very rich lather.

    Very, very nice. I like the razor, the colors, the scale shape and the sandwiched wedge. Did you make the scales and add the "decals" back on afterwards?

    Yes Sir. NOS blade came with cruddy plastic scales, so I re-scaled it in G10. Obtained a junk Friodur from eBay and salvaged the inlays. I thought the red spacer kind of set it off :cool:

    I absolutely love your brushes! I wonder would you accept a commission to do a long handled version for me? PM inbound!

    I just LOVE these old Packwoods! My eye is open for a nice one. The quest continues...
