What did the blades look like in 1652?
Anybody have one?
Glad you asked! It's easier to point to this thread: https://straightrazorpalace.com/razo...epictions.html
Wow. Oh man, now something else 8 got to put on the want list. 1600s razor. Ha.
I would be on the “death by football” camp. I wonder what was the sentence?
Back in those days death was so common it didn't mean much.
Punishment would probably depend on the social station of the victim.
