Now that's a shave to really get excited about. A Begall razor, DRHarris Marlborough, and a Simpsons brush.

Hello all,
Just experienced my first shave with a Bengall today. I have to say I now know what all the fuss is about!
I am 3 months into me SR journey and can honestly say this was the best shave yet! Beats mt favorite Boker hands down.

I found my bengall in an opshop in Temuka New Zealand. It is etched on the blade " Made expressly for F.A. Harrison Hairdresser Temuka NZ". Picked it up for $60, took it back to Australia and into the care of johnmrson. John advised he felt it was never used and in "mint" condition. except a bit of surface rust on the tang.

Best
Kris

Photo's?

Hopefully in the near future I am gonna rescale this baby and shine it up "bright like a diamond"

so.... Am I in the gang now?!?! lol or do i have to wait till i have scales

I have a few, can I join the Band of Brothers???
This is my Bengall collection, Not all shave ready....yet
Sorry about pic quality, but im not at home and only have my cell.

Im quite sad to say that I may have to retract myself from the BoB. I found out last week that the Bengall I bought a while back has a warped blade. I was wondering why I couldnt get a good shave from it and another local guy who is helping me with it, confirmed that there was a warp in the blade. He's trying to get it shaveable but we'll have ti see how it goes. :/

Sorry to hear that Tex, Perhaps a rolling X stroke could be used to get it shave ready? how bad is the warpage? I'm sure we can find you another bengall if worse comes to worse

Hey, if you can't get an edge on that razor PM me, I'll send you one...

Hello all,
Just thought I would share a Bengall with some "Custom" scales i recently obtained from Ebay.
I dont know if can be saved but I am going to try! And yes I plan to leave it in these wonderful hand made scales!
