15/16 Bengall

[cleanshaved]

I have just picked up this Bengall, was surprised on how big it was when it arrived. measures in at 15/16.
has anyone else got a Big Bengall?
just gave it a quick rub with some 000 steel wool and polish, needs a little bit more but I feel the need to shave with it first.

Wow, that's a huge Bengall. I haven't seen one that big, Does it say T.R. Cadman & Sons on it?

very nice razor Kirk.
I am in the process of honing this up now. poping arm hair with no problem off the Norton 4K. seems to take a nice edge,
will be shaving with this tomorrow.

I do indeed have a 17/16 Bengall. I've just checked my photos and I don't have one of it so I might take one in the next day or two and post it.

 

[johnmrson]

OK, here's a picture of mine.

Oh boy, that needs to be sent my way for proper disposal.

It shaves fantastically. It doesn't feel like a huge blade at all.

I kind of regret turning that one down when you gave me the chance to buy it John lol...
