    Default Bengal Cast Steel

    I don't know what is was about this razor I have had it for years, I always liked it. I don't know it kinda of had some soul. So I had to breathe some life back into the old girl. I did not attempt to remove all the pitting, the blade cleaned up pretty decent there is some pitting in the center. The tang I removed what I could without destroying it.
    She's scaled in brown horn, with honey horn for the wedge. And did it the old girl take a keen edge. I bet it was some time since this razor has been used.
    Regards, Tony

    And that is just how I like them,
    great looking blade with that crooked smile, I realy like the fat looking tang, I can almost feel it against my face and in my hands.

    It's a beautiful thing to see an old razor go back on the line.
    Great job on that wedge.
    Thank you for sharing it.

    Nice job - I have a similar one and can honestly say I rate it among my best shavers. It's good to see you bring it back to life and get some use out of it again.

    Good work, it looks like a beauty queen. I have the same model of Bengall. It's a great shaver.

    Thanks Zelenbakh, if you could I would like to see a picture of your Bengal, so I can see an example of how this razor originally looked.
