Here is a 11/16 Thistle Cut razor with a logo that says “Damascus Blade” on the face of the blade. I am not really sure who they are trying to fool with this title (because this is not real Damascus) but the razor did take a really great edge as quality Thistle Cut razors do. The scales are faux bamboo and are in great condition and the spine of this razor has a cool and unique worked design. I think that the pictures show that this is a really clean but not perfect vintage razor; if you have any specific questions then let me know. This razor was honed with a full Norton 4K, Belgian Blue, Belgian Yellow, Vintage Escher, Nakayama Maruka progression and is shave ready. Pending.
