Razor: Bengall Extra 6/8

I spent most of the weekend driving and didnt get around to shaving.
As a result tonight I was faced with a 3 day growth on both the face and head. I usually use an electric on the head daily but a 3 day growth is a bit hard for it to handle.
I pulled out the Bengall, its around a quarter hollow grind and its one of those razors that I turn to when its been a few days between shaves.
Shaved both the head and face. Face was nice and smooth, head was a little rough but its only my third attempt.
I Just picked up the Proraso White this week and although I prefere the Green, I do like it. It gives a nice glossy lather and leaves the face feeling smooth.Have a good week boysSome before and after pics of this razor http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...cent-horn.html

I recieved this razor last week. The blade needs to get polished. Not sure what to expect. Man did she deliver, BBS in 2 passes. Have a great day Gentileman!!!
Pre-Shave: Hot shower Pre-Shave Oil: Truffit & Hill Music: Joaquin Rodrigo, "Concierto de Aranjuez: I. Allegro con spirito" Razor: 7/8" Novelty 1879, Hollow, Spike point (custom madrone scales) Strop: SRD Premium IV (60/75) Brush: 22mm Vulfix Super Badger Überlather: Geo Trumper's Violet Shave Creme + Mama Bear's Victorian Violets Shave Soap + Glycerin Post-shave/Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol) Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer AS Splash: Irisch Moos Result: I haven't read or heard about guys owning, using and/or posting about this blade, but I really enjoy using my Novelty. The size (7/8"), shape (spike point), grind (~1/2 hollow), scales (madrone), balance and the edge all culminate into making this razor one of the best in my collection. As far as lather, a mix of Trumper's Violet and Mama Bear's Violet soap seemed appropriate. The result was nothing short of übergreat. The scent; heavenly!! An awesome and BBS shave. Nuf said :).
