~Bengall~Neil Miller bridle~Weyer 2 band~RazoRock Limited Edition/GP scuttle~Afta/Stetson~



Rarely do I shave 2 days in a row anymore, so the big, thin Bengall had light duty this morning after yesterday's Henckels smiling wedge cleanup. Still, wanting to look my best for church and family gathering for a nice Easter feast, I broke it out. What a blade! This is perhaps the most audible blade I own! I might not need a shave for 3 MORE days!
Happy Easter and have a fine week to come, Gents.

Thats a big Bengall alright, most common razor down here, but not that size. I like

It was a long day of travel as I was delayed by traffic due to a large accident on the highway near the Virginia/North Carolina border,
I ask for prayers and thoughts for those involved, at least three families lost loved ones this Easter.

This evening was short and sweet.

Soap: VDH

You need to be careful with this blade, took a fantastic edge, but it will bite you if you don't treat it with respect (like most smaller razors, for me anyway)
