Wow! You got, like, a giant hand and bricks, or really tiny legs and feet! Nice giant razor by the way.

I recently honed this bad boy up, holy smokes what a shave!!
FYI the above link takes you to a previous post on this thread.
Am currently in the process of getting these scales on this one too! Really pleased with how the wood turned out, it's Blackbutt.

Hi guys,
I guess I have joined this illustrious group. I am the proud owner of a Bengall 6/8. I'll put a pic up tonight.

Thanked: 155 IS THIS NORMAL?
The heel on this razor looks funky to me; is this normal, or has someone removed a chip?

It's the same when you are stupid.

I'm not pro, but it does look like a chip has been ground out, personally I'd have curved it all the way around...

Three superb razors
Two 13/16 and an 11/16. I know they sold them as 3/4 and 5/8 but that's what they measure. I just gave this trio a touch-up on the Shapton Pro 12k this afternoon and I realized they are among my favourite blades. I know it's a big call, and maybe I haven't tried enough modern razors, but I think the Bengalls of this vintage (1910-1940) are the best shavers I've ever used. It's not just the edge; it's what I would like to call "handling". By this I mean a combination of balance in the hand and a sharp, yet very smooth edge, combining to give one hell of a shave!
