    Picked this up about 10 years ago for 15 bucks from eBay. Engraved with a steam/paddle/sailing ship....not really sure but from what I could find the company produced razors up until 1825. F. FENNEY Sheffield warranted

    Nice Blade! The scales look wooden replacements with an old nail peen. Hickory? Sweet! I think the scales are part of it's history. Don't let anyone talk you into replacing them, now!
    F. Fenny Tally Ho was from 1824 til 1852. Bet it shaves smooth!

    Nice razor. Tally Ho! Razors are highly esteemed. The razor and etching appear in good shape-the scale are not original. If it were mine a pair of new honey horn is the way I would go.

    Couldnt help but see u are new member, and a barber at that. Welcome!

    Do you shave with a straight or is this just something you bought for decoration? We are mainly a community of straight razor shavers here, so if you have any questions about the sport let us know.

    Happy shaving.

    That's a nice example of a Feeney. FYI...Feeney manufactured razors from about 1824-1852.
