Got my Bengall today from the classifieds!
Why was it wet thought? Is that some type of oil or....?

Yes, it will be a protective oil. Wipe it off before shaving.

Probably oil to keep it from rusting. Carbon steel will rust at the mere site of water. Originally Posted by BYUTexan

Am I supposed to oil it up periodically to prevent rust? Originally Posted by Slartibartfast

depends on how much you use it and what part of the country your in. My rotation only gets dried well and put away. Razors I store get oiled and so far no rust!

Bengall is a thoroughly British razor that gives excellent shaves. I am sure it will fast become one of your favorite razors. Maybe you would like to have a look over here, Bengall's Band of Brothers - Straight Razor Place Forums
If anyone else would like to have their very own Bengall, there is a beautiful square point still available in the classifieds. Look here http://straightrazorpalace.com/class...t/2738/cat/500 (yes, shameless self promotion)Last edited by ndw76; 06-27-2009 at 05:46 AM.
