Thread: Bengall's Band of Brothers

This is a 1" Bengall I picked up from a guy in South Australia. I cleaned off the crud and fitted it with Australian hardwood scales (which seemed fitting considering the history) and a wedge from the hip bone of a kangaroo (ok its camel bone, but fifth generation Aussie)

That is perhaps one of the nicest razors I've seen.

A 6/8" bengall with a most unusual heel and Invicta scales. Not restored as I just rediscovered it.
I haven't seen one like this so far.

How about a Monday through Friday set in black acrylic with racing green acrylic spacer lined in copper, finished with bronze pins... My latest project.

Hey, that's nice

Thank you sir!

how often to unhoned/mint Bengall's come onto the market? Don't know what it is about the Bengall's but they really do tickle my fancy. I know its silly, but i think its the imprinting between the shank and the spine!

I found one, it was a bit rough but it seriously looked as if it had never been honed, my current shaver. No box and far from mint but seriously doubt it have ever seen a stone in its life. I'd have a crack at being around 1940's-50's era.

Edit: This razor here in fact

Not sure, but could this be the oldest Bengall this far on this thread?

I thought my Spanish point was older than most Bengall's but that takes the cake with the double beauty of a stub tail also
