It was in the mailbox as I was driving the girls to bus stop,so postie was early today.
Had a quick look at it before bus came and was surprised at how good condition it is in as the pics on fleabay did not show it. Gave it a clean and polish and some marks still in the blade but it scrubbed up great, and for an old razor I was expecting some marks but it was far better than I thought.I didn't touch the edge at all either. Pretty bloody happy with it.

Before and after pics....

WOW !! that looks really nice
 
This Bengall has been playing in the mud
nice & fresh ready for a face to smooth over

minor geometry realignments
Reshape stabilizer to suit worn blade with a 1k diamond plate followed by 1k Naniwa SS
Reset blade to spine geometry with focus at the heal & toe with a 1k diamond plate followed by 1k Naniwa
Honing
This edge was taken from a Naniwa SS 1k with 600 grit slurry to clean water to set the bevel
then progressed onto a Jnat progression
Polishing work was done a Uchigomoru Suita using a self-slurry through to clean water
Prefinished on a Shoubudani Asagi using a self-slurry through to clean water finish
And finished on a Nakayama Asagi using a self-slurry through to clean water finish
No further abrasives were used to finish this razor
