bloody hell mick I'm jelious !! have fun with the benny
Hey yogibighouse, many thanks for the gift of the blade. It gave me a crestfallen moment there, with the initial assessment from Oz. And even though you gave the blade to me, I wasn't willing to lay down more than it would cost to re-scale...Faithless cur that I am :). As you can see it came out looking beautiful, and all because Oz could see some promise, at a risk level that I wasn't willing to take.
Oz has posted more photo's under the title 'Bengall in Blackbean'. Take a look. I don't want you to feel jealous. You should feel proud that this Bengall has become the Tiger it was meant to be.
Once again, many thanks for your generous gift.

I think I may be eligible for membership, just bought a Swedish branded razor, a Borlange Maskinaffar, but in big friendly letters on the tang is Bengall

I have a Bengall that I payed $ 15.00. Its very plain with black scales, but it shaves as good as my $ 300.00 razor.
I think any one starting out would do fine with a Bengall. At least you wont spend too much to see if you want
to be a straight razor user.
Seems like Bengalls have become scarce as hen's teeth lately, and what few do show up for sale mostly seem to be in Australia.
