    Talking Bengall BoxSet 'W.C.A'

    Hi guys.

    I've been scouring Antique shops and found a nice 7day set with one razor missing.
    I wondered if any of our fine SRP people know anything about this type of razor... their quality, how they shave etc.

    The razors have cream coloured plastic scales. I think they're plastic
    The base of the blade has written "Bengall" and "T.R Cadman & Sons, Sheffield, England" on the other side.
    On the blade is written "Full Concave"

    The box is some sort of thin textured leather and the letters W.C.A are embossed on the top.

    Does anyone know anything about these razors?
    Thanks
    c

    Bengall's are excellent shavers - I can't believe that score! Way to go!

    Nice. I have several bengals but they have a different etch and black scales. They are good blades.

    I've got several Bengall razors and one that looks just like one you posted. Has Full Concave etched on the blade with ivory colored scales with 'Bengall' on one side.
    Good catch and good blades. I'm going to hone this one up again tonight. It isn't quite ready to go yet.
