Straight Razor Manufacturer, William Greaves, was in business by 1780. His sons joined the firm in 1816.

They then became William Greaves & Sons.

The Sheaf Works was started in 1823, and completed by 1826. (first factory in Sheffield)

The firm was sold to B.J.Eyre & Company in 1850, and they may have continued using the Greaves markings for a time (approximately until 1858).

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
