    Default Full Concave Bengall

    Another nice chunky 6/8 Bengall.

    Was in a bit of a state so some light pitting & tarnish remains but the stamps & blade etch all survived the resto pretty well.
    Cleaned sanded & buffed the scales & polished the brass logo.
    Re pinned with Ni Arg pins & stainless washers.

    This one heads heads home to New Zealand in the morning.

    If my restoration skills could produce that I think I would have a hard time sending it back to the owner. But I suppose if I used a stolen razor that had been 'lost in the mail' I'm sure it would bite me.

    Onimaru - if you don't mind me asking, who's the member you restored it for? I didn't think there were too many on here from NZ - always good to meet fellow straight users.

    Love it.
