The tawse comes in various shapes and sizes.
Different lentghs and they have either 2 tails on them 3 tails on them and even 4 tails split ends on them.
The tawse is thick or different thicknesses. It hurts like heck.
Depending on why you are getting The Tawse for the offense you might get 3 or 4 strokes while sometimes you will get “6 of the best” as the saying goes.
