You definitely have the gift of gab, James!

I just thought the poor blighters needed a nice introduction....

...And a very nice introduction it was!

I do believe that nearly all my razors are Bengal or just marked Cadman, we don't seem to get much variety down under, I guess being only lately still a member of the British Empire this is to be expected. I found another unused Bengal in the local antique store for the princely sum of $48.00 Aust. Bengal name inset on the scales.

You started it and I join

It is a 3/8 wedge.
Small, but I hope it quallifies to join the Band.

A cute little thing that my father sent me. He had it laying around.
Got it in a knick-knack box at an auction, I think.
He is strictly electric, always been. Poor fellow.

Only marking is Bengall on the tang. Nothing on the flip side.

Have a bigger one in the mail. Will post when arrives.

May I join too?! I picked up my only Bengall a couple of weeks ago, from a bits-and-bobs-y antiques shop, for £7. It looked, to my relatively inexpert eye, completely unused. The rubbery scales are a bit rubbish, and took badly to a rinsing under hot water (old celluloid, is it, that can start stinking like burning hair?); I'm planning to try making some new scales for it. Only shaved with it once, but it shaved excellently, and look forward to using it again. Really small bevel.

i love my bengalls. infact i want a 7day set great balance of heavy blade, hollow grinds with great edge taking steel. they get my nod.

heres 2 of my 4. both 6/8th rounds.
