Straight Razor Shave of the Day

Yesterday: 20 GBP worth of Bengall which I restored -- now easily one of my favourite. So good I bought another to restore as well!
And today, well we were discussing it so I picked the Edward Brice #38. It was 'so so' when I got it, but since I've put a lapping film edge on it, it's very very comfortable. The shape of the blade (nice smile) is just right for my face, I really like it now. Only 'down' is that it doesn't 'sing' a lot.

Very nice razors! I've always wanted a Bengal and am just unable to find an affordable shave ready...I still failed at honing...Yesterday: 20 GBP worth of Bengall which I restored -- now easily one of my favourite. So good I bought another to restore as well!

Eye-popping Edward Brice...well done!

There is one currently on ebay, it looks like exactly this same razor as mine, and I think it is £90 or so. A bit expensive clearly, but it seems to be in 'as new' condition from memory... Clearly a bit on the expensive side for a 'vintage' but really, these models of Bengall (and the associated C.Myers & Son I have) are to me, better than many others I tried.

Despite having a partiality to heavier grinds...I do enjoy a nice full hollow edge and this razor did not disappoint. Super smooth & comfortable after the buffalo leather. 3passes for a ccs-sas finish...

S/h Bismark. Bought it off eBay but it was completely unused. It it such a comfy razor.
Tabac is the best soap I have -- I'd be curious if anyone could suggest other soap that are as good as this, the lather is creamy it is really awesome.
Anyway I enjoyed myself, did like 4 passes so I feel like I'm 12 years old now. Zero irritation too..
