So I've got 3 real straights. A 5/8 Wade & Butcher, a 7/8 G Wostenholm, and a 4/8 Bengall. My Wade and Butcher is shortened due to a chip in the blade when I bought it but my other two are full length blades.

I get a pretty nice shave from the Wostenholm. It's not as smooth as I'd like, but it's a nice shave. My W&B gives me one of the smoothest nicest shaves I've ever had! My Bengall, misses alot of spots and gives me alot of irritation.

Now I just got both my Wade and Bengall back from being honed so I know they are both plenty sharp enough to get the job done, but it just feels like the smaller stature of the Bengall doesn't like my face. It feels sloppy in my hand and it seems to require alot of pressure to compensate for its light weight.

The other problem I'm having with the Bengall is that it doesn't seem as nimble as that shortened Wade. They are both full hollows. The easiest way I can think to explain this is with a car reference. To me the Wade is like a Ferarri while my Wostenholm is like an old Rolls Royce, and the Bengall just seems to not be in the same category. It seems more like a Corvette. I say that because while in the hands of someone skilled, they may be able to make a Corvette perform in the se league as a Ferarri, but to someone less skilled the differences are extreme. I don't want to take away from the Bengall in any way because it seems like it should be an amazing razor, I'm just not sure it's for me and I'm torn on what to do with it.

I'm hoping someone here can help me with my predicament.
