Well - I've only had one and it was in fact quite different than a similar W&B I also used to have. For starters it kept an edge better...
At the end of the day - I suppose six of one, half dozen of the other.. but there seems to be more W&Bs than Greaves for sale so maybe it's more of a supply/demand thing?
I haven't noticed that they cost more than other English blades. But I don't really care for Sheffield steel, so I haven't really paid too much attention either.
Tey are on the order of 4x the price of a W&B
But if you search ebay for greaves razor, you never find more than 5-10. Wade & Butcher will yield dozens
I have a couple Greaves I really enjoy. They weren't as mass produced as W&Bs so I'd say they're a little more unique but otherwise both are good razors.
Here is mine, any Ideas how old it is, online it sounds like 1823-1850, Ive noticed some have a line above and below the manufacturer name but this one does not, any Ideas on the age?
