It shaved remarkably well even though the iron worms got it.

Gotta love the simplistic character. Thanks for sharing

Mind, is it certain these are razors made in Scotland?

I have seen tons of razors with Belgian labels/Resellers stamped on them, but there are very few that were actually forged in Belgium.
No to piss on your parade, but these razors might be rebranded Sheffields, or German razors.

I can almost guarantee that all of mine are rebrands. Especially given Scotland's ties to England.

My McPherson is Sheffield steel, German ground. And I'd bet the Argyle ST razor is a Sheffield.
