Antique Bengall Cut Throat Razor with Original Box

A handsome antique Bengall straight razor complete with its original fitted cardboard box — a wonderfully tactile piece of everyday grooming history from another era.

The razor features black scales with the classic long folding blade design that made Bengall razors so respected amongst barbers and gentlemen through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The original box, still faintly marked “Bengall,” adds enormous charm and collectability.

There’s something incredibly evocative about these old shaving pieces — the quiet ritual of stropping a blade, the bathroom shelf lined with brushes and soap dishes, and a time when objects were made to last decades rather than years.

Perfect for:

• barberiana collections
• vintage bathroom styling
• display with apothecary pieces
• theatrical or film props
• curiosity cabinets
• collectors of grooming antiques

Condition:

A genuine antique piece showing age, patina, surface wear, and oxidation consistent with use and age. Blade folds correctly into scales. Original box worn but present. Sold as a collectible/display item — not recommended for shaving without professional restoration and honing.

Approximate length closed:

15 cm

A beautiful old gentleman’s piece with wonderful character ✨
