W. Greaves and Sons " For Barbers Only"

W. Greaves and Sons
"For Barbers Only"
Size: 7/8
I bought the razor "sight unseen". So I wasn't real sure what condition it was going to be in.
Other then trashed scales an a few rust spots here and there, it was in pretty good shape.
I originally made a set of black horn scales for this razor. The big blade set a little to deep for my comfort level. So I decided to make a new set. This time I grabbed a piece if translucent horn and used a horn wedge, nickel silver pins and brass washers. I think it turned out pretty well.

Hess Hair Milk Laboratories???

Funny name, don't you think!
A little history,
Hess Hair Milk Laboratories is located in Minnesota.
They Supply hair tonic that is distributed to barbers nationwide.  It has the consistancy of milk, so it’s called “Hair Milk.”  They use to also supply Straight Razors under the same name. The razor was made in Solingen, Germany for Hess.
Long story short, Funny name....Great razors that are well thought of.

New Razors in for sale section

I've put up a few more razor in the for sale section.
The time change is killing my pic taken.
I should have more to add this week.

For sale section coming soon.

Well it's time to thin the herd a little. So within the next day or so, I will be adding a "for sale" section.
I will have a little bit of everything (price-wise). It will mostly be razors, but from time to time, I will throw on a few sets of scales. If you have any questions about a razor just contact me.
