    Here is my newest a little singing blade shaves wickedly ,when honing did the thumb pad test and could pluck the edge and it would ring.It makes a similar sound when stropping.

    Default One pair showing

    Found this pair just hanging out on the 'bay and thought they needed a good home. The case is pretty worn but stills cradles them nicely. Looks like they'll take a good shine with a little Mother's. I'm gonna check out the edges today and maybe give them a test run in a day or so. Will they qualify me for membership?

    It will of course sound different to a wedge on the strop but shouldn't ring when you strop unless you're lifting the spine & using excessive pressure.

    Hopefully you can squeeze another member in My first Bengall, part of a four razor lot. Personalized for a person in Dunedin, similar to another another one shown in this thread for someone else in Dunedin.
    Name: IMGP2587.jpg Views: 639 Size: 19.7 KB
    The blade has the inscription "FIRST QUALITY MANUFACTURED EXPRESSLY FOR A.M. HENDY DUNEDIN" A.M Hendy in Dunedin owned a barbers shop i've since discovered, here are few photos from 1898 of it DUNEDIN: Hendys Hairdressing Princes Street - Hocken Collections, Library, University of Otago, New Zealand

    Still needs a hone and further cleanup (was more rusty/pitted when received), but it promises to shave like a beaut i'm sure - has quite a lot of hone wear already (especially toe), maybe from shaving customers over the years.

    Here's my first Bengall, also happens to be my first restore too. Would be great to be part of the brotherhood and I must say it shaves great, in fact I think it has become my favourite.
