Bengall Imperial 5/8
Yet another ubiquitous Bengall from downunder but...
This one was my idea of a perfect candidate for restoration.
Very light rust on blade faces allowing a 400 grit start. No damage to etch but curious there was only one quotation mark at the 'B' .
Heavy rust only on top of spine,120 grit start there..
Negligible spine wear indicative of only a first factory honing.
Nice full belly & small edge bevel.
Sometimes the less you have to do the more pleasing the results can be. Scales had a light polish with the Novus 1,2,3 & new pins & washers were added.
The first pic was overexposed but I liked it as a close up shot so included it.
Don't know when these first showed in the Bengall lineup but it is a post 1890 razor.
Added to the hone queue. :)

It was a handsome razor when new. You made it look as nice as when it was sold the first time. Good approach, no reason to reinvent the wheel.

nice looking Bengall!
As always...very well done. Like a NOS.

Great looking restore, as you say you sometimes get more pleasure from a razor restore when it needs less work.
