    Sweet Mile! Shepherds are unusual.

    Got a Warranted back from Mr Miller recently, lovely scales and the blade was in very nice condition

    It was an ebay find. I'm not sure who made it as you can't read the name anymore. It starts with B. I thought it looked like BEI and then there is a C but I think it might be BENGALL. The shape is called a double thumb notch.

    Shepard & Gough pre-1830s Stubtail. Couldn't find any information on the maker though, but one of my favorite razors. Scales are original tortoise.

    Robert A.Doyle wrote about "Cast Steel" in 1740. But not about such razor.

    I know that cast steel was invented in 1740. However, what manufacturers first utilized this steel in razors?
