    I had a bit of luck the other day ,three razors in one auction ,ebay ,the pic was very bad but I took a punt the blades were a W&B Greaves & Son and a pipe,all the scales were toast ,but it was the blades I was interested in ,the pipe was binned but the W&B is a 5/8 special and is restored and the greaves is an 8/8 wedge with french writing on the blade ,never seen it before ,will post pics later ,oh its been restored,any one heard of this before
    Kind regards Peter

    That 8/8 looks very nice! Looking forward to see it with some scales!

    The Greaves' blade marking just means 'barbers razor' and is obviously a French export. Nice blade, though.
