    This is a Bengall I bought from A SRP member a couple of weeks ago, and I love it,

    I am so impressed that I bought another on ebay and going to have it restored by the afore mentioned member.
    Are all Bengalls excellent shavers ?

    Ps Can I join the Band of Brothers

    pps The bengall I won on ebay is identical to the twins in post 87 of the thread

    A little over a month ago, I bought Mike's Bengall in the bloodwood scales (see pics in post #51)--my first straight razor. Hope to have some other Bengalls to keep this one company in the future!

    I now have 3 bengall razors all made by TR Cadman, but I saw a bengall etched ward brothers, as I didn't want to start another thread to ask the question, does anyone know if Cadman's sub contracted their razors to ward brothers ?

    Thanks

    Default My Old Bengall

    This is my only Bengall. If it is any indication as to what they would become-wow! It's a killer shaver, and a looker too. Do any of you Bengallistas know when this one might have been made? Enjoy the photo.

    That looks similar in style to one I have (take a look at the photo back at post 48). Similar tang, looks like cast steel, nice little monkey tail.

    I'd suggest somewhere in the early 1800s - maybe between 1810 and 1830 or so, or thereabouts.
