Thread: <3 Bengall, But What Else Has the Same Feels?

I have a 6/8" Bengall that I keep going back to. Something about it that I can't put my finger on. Extra stiff? Keeps an edge the longest? The way it feels in a pinch grip?


I know there's a Bengall love thread, but what I want to know is, (from someone else who loves their Bengall), is there another brand that gives the same feels?

not so much just a brand, but at the moment i really enjoy wedges. they feel nice to work with and take off hair. but it changes with a mood

I think the Kropp razors are fairly similar to the Bengalls but they were possibly ground a little thinner. They were originally finished in Germany in the very hollow Hamburg Ring grind style, but post WWI were fully manufactured in England. Dickenson's Invicta razors are similar to the Bengall but were never quite as popular or made in as much variety (width, grind style etc) as the Cadman products.

The Bengall certainly take a great edge. Like Maladroit said, Kropp is very similar in grind and feel.

I had a Beagle once,,, went hunting on it's own one day,, never came back.
