It appears the word "Bengall" was used by many manufacturers, not just Cadman. Even after Cadman obtained the "right" to the word it seems there were many unscrupulous bounders ready to take...

They look great! They seem to be in excellent condition and there is no reason to think they will not be stupendous shavers, as all Bengalls in good condition are.

Congratulations!

Nice - looks like a good Bengall to me. It should shave you well.

James.

OK, here are my Bengall "shavers" - the ones I regularly use in my shaving rotation - plus a little narrow one I have used once but thought it was cute so included in the pics anyway. Perhaps we...

Thanks Momma - I work on the premise that if you can't be knowledgeable, at least try to make it sound like you might be..... :). I *did* live in the UK for a few years at the turn of the century - I...

That's very interesting - I always thought Bengalls were a Cadman trademark, but maybe not. :shrug:

I found some interesting information on Cadman and Bengall razors here. About half way down...

Those are all beautiful razors :tu

I've always found the Bengalls to be stupendous shavers, and very amenable to the hone. In fact, my first razor was a vintage Bengall that belonged to my wife's...

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