Now it transit are:
  • 2 x Cadman "Bengall" ⅝ with Bakelite scales and original coffins from AU
  • 1 x Gold Dollar W59 from CN
  • 2 x Titan 1918 ACRO T.H-70 from HK
  • 1 x Windrose 7-day set black leather zippered case from UK
That will bring me up to 28 straight razors in my rotation.

The 7-day set case will be for my next set. I still haven't decided what razors to get for this set. Probably either Revisor 6-0039's or something custom from Proserpine Razors.
 
Very interested in seeing those Bengall.

Good one!
Here are the vendor pics:

Hi, curious to know where you purchased the Titans? Was it through Aliexpress? Thanks!
A direct link would be a great idea to know exactly where you ordered yours from @rbscebu to be on the safe side, for those who are interested getting a good quality straight razors at a reasonable price range.

Titan and Gold Dollar straight razors can be purchased through AliExress at:

https://m.aliexpress.com/store/v3/h...daYVgkp7&pagePath=index.htm&gclid=&extParams=

If buying in bulk (for say a matching seven-day set) you can buy them cheaper through Alibaba at:

https://titan1918.m.en.alibaba.com/?spm=a2706.7835515.0.0

If buying on AliExpress or Alibaba, only buy Titan or Gold Dollar straight razors.Almost all of the others there, irrespective of price, are junk. Do not expect a straight razor to come truly shave-ready. Expect to have to have the bevel reset and properly honed.

The Bengall in the pic looks good, nice straight edge, a bit of work with some 1200 wet and dry and a buffing wheel will work wonders. Good catch @rbscebu.
