T.F. Bastet 8/8
Received my newest member of the herd today, this thing looks like a battle axe..
It is a 8/8 T.F. Bastet Sheffield & Amsterdam razor from the 1840s with oakwood handles. It weighs a stunning 174 grams! It is a sheffieldsteel wedge..
This is compared to my favourite 6/8 Liesé & Co.
Unfortunately I won't get to shave with it anywhere soon since I got some rash on my face

That is a very cool looking razor. I look forward to hearing how it shaves once that rash is gone

I could keep it company until the rash clears up if you like............ Originally Posted by KempieG
