Thread: Bengall's Band of Brothers

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!
