Hey all! Just finished a shave with a recent antique store acquisition, and loved it so much I'd like to baby it a little more than originally intended with the cleanup.
Could these scales be original? What material are they? Any "do's and don'ts" regarding cleaning up these scales I should know about?
And I understand it's hard to date a razor sometimes, but if anyone has an idea about a ballpark as to how vintage this razor is, I'd love to hear it. I've done some research but I'd like to see a fresh discussion for some more ideas.
Can post some more photos later if needed. I have it apart currently. The stamp just says "Bengall Cast Steel", and nothing else.
Thank you for your time!
