    In the day "Cast Steel" referred to Wootz , Damascus & tool steels, etc... Maybe not the casting you're thinking of .

    No. I was thinking of cast steel as in cast steel tops on motor cycles ... But you're prob right, because this one feels more like fine grade toll steel than anything else, I think.

    Yes the "casting" refers to the crucible process of making the steel rather than making a product from a mould.

    Was hoping that my newest acquisition would allow me to become a part of the Band of Brothers. I dont know much about it and have yet to shave with it (literally just picked it up today), but it seems to be a nice razor!

    Nice - looks like a good Bengall to me. It should shave you well.
