Hallo friends.

I´d read some about tallyho, Fenney razors, Now I present you one of them, I think, My doubs the same of ever, more information obout tallyho, wath is the diferenc with an normall razor?, date, is an wedge or not?. well the same of ever. I´m happy to present my new razors only here since a lot of time, but you could see that I´m a unknowledge, only a learner and all information you kindly get me is quite important. . Well, som photos and...
Thanks a lot for all and regards

Very nice! Looks like a wedge to me.

Nice, Older Fenny, Roberto! A wedge. Lovely scales, seemingly metal lined in 3 panels, much like we see pearl done in others. The panels could be tortoise or dyed horn. The pique, or penning silver decoration is amazing as is the decorative wedge.
Nice find! Very unusual :chapeau

Without a doubt, I'd say pinned tortoise.

Precious :chapeau

Fenney is a famous razor maker, I'd say around 1850 for this one.

Thanks really at all.

Here in Galiza, in the northern spain the geman razors are the most comun but the brits ons were used by rich people, and the scales usally are better than the german ones, you are true, there are a silver panel behind teh shell,

Yes, not a poor man's razor. A beautiful thing! You seem to find some nice ones there!

Now that is a razor, beautiful and congrats.

Bob

Congratz, I love that razor.. :rock:

That is a museum quality piece. Excellent pinned tortoise work, very unusual to see tortoise panelled. I would give a lot for a razor like that.

When I see a razor like this I forget all the 'let's see your shave den' and 'tape or no tape' discussions and I am so glad that this site exists....This must be considered treasure. Congratulations on your discovery.

As everyone above said it is one special razor. You are truly lucky to have such a treasure..

Yaa, Sharptonn, the only problem is that people habe this quality razors are normaly rich people, or with a rich family, and most of the best ones are more espensive than 50 euros, well....

One a question, this type of scales are done in the same place and for the same workers that made the blade ?,

This is not generally known, but as Neil Miller said in the past, much of intricate work such as those silver pins was done by girls as their hands could do the fine and tedious tasks.
