Thread: Customised Bengall

Another Sheffield razor. Yep - I have a soft spot for them. I find that a German razor of equal sharpness feels harsher on my face than a Sheffield one. Could all be in my head....
Anyhoo... 4/8" blade marked "Cadman and Sons. Sheffield, England. Bengall". Jimped on bottom of tang. Unusual very large flat sides to spine that I do not believe are hone wear as they are too big, and they do not sit on the hone - just the edge of them.
Re-scaled in highly figured red dyed buffalo horn. Recon turquoise wedge. Brass pins and brass washers inside and out, with smaller stainless washers added in a stack on the outside.
Honing progression; Naniwa Superstones 1K, 5K, 10K, 12K. Chromium Oxide on Balsa. Horsehide Strop x 100 passes.
No access to my light box or camera at present so please excuse phone photos.
