Tally Ho lads!
Found this on EPay:
Took a chance on it for $12.67
It arrived like this:
Not being the kind to leave well enough alone, and having a love of thumbnotches and such.....
A radical change for the Tally Ho after 150 years or so...a very nice heavy wedge with a new and exciting outline.Last edited by Seraphim; 02-03-2009 at 04:31 PM.

I love thumb notches too! Got a heljestrand just for that reason. That looks great & it's not often ebuy photo's are worse than the real thing. I can't believe how well balanced it looks after all that butchery!

I was lusting after the new LeGrelot 1/4 grinds at Raurpur, but couldn't justify getting one, as I already have a 1/4 grind LeGrelot. So I installed a thumbnotch myself!

Tally Ho's are great shavers, I regret letting go of the couple I've sold.

She took a beautiful shine. Great job. Do you mind sharing what process you did to bring that out?

Yeah, I was pondering doing that, but decided to stick with a more "traditional" and simple flow.
