This is a members reworked Tally Ho C.T. Bingham in 7/8 concave grind.This razor was not in too bad shape ,just corrosion,it cleaned up very nice.This is a superb shaver,and I think a beautiful razor.If you ever get the chance you better get one.Your razor will ship tomorrow(I kept it an extra day just so I could shave with it again)Its sitting in the disinfectant now,and ill get it out in the morning.Best regards gary
That is a beauty. Hmmm... how to cause the USPS to misdirect the mail.... ;)
Mmm. Very nice.
Very nice work, Gary! Those shoulderless razors really are sleek looking, aren't they?
Great finish as usual!

Mark yes they are.I guess you know they are some of my favorites.Best regards gary
man thats beautiful, LOVE those scales!!!!!!!
I wish this one looked that good!!!!
Well, send it to Gary - I'm sure by the time it gets back, it will look just as nice as the one he just finished!
Mark
One question Gary, how you polish the blades? Your results are outstanding.
Very nice pinning
Shaved with my F. Finney Tally-Ho wedge this morning. Wish it looked as nice as that one! Great shavers though. Nice work Gary - looks perfect!
Buddel,I wet grind them up to 1200 grit(can be up to 6 grits depending on how much material has to be removed),then on to the buffing wheels,usually 4 grits(up to 6 for the EELL shine).I try to stay away from flap wheels,and such.There is no easy way out,that I have found,but it sure beats the hand sanding that some guys have reported they are doing.Best Regards gary

Yes wet grind with a double shaft variable speed bench grinder(have 4)2 are 1/3 h.p ,2 are 1/2 hp also 2 double shaft buffer.....use so many to keep from changing the setup so often regards gary
Thanks, very much appreciated, how do you secure the blade from twisting or biting you?Quote:

Yes, it's an SO9 EELL. I love nice shotguns, and before I got married and had kids, I had a handful of high end SxS shotguns...high end to me, anyway. I didn't have any London best guns. After the wife and kids, I couldn't justify them anymore and sold them. I've still got a circa 1899 L.C. Smith O grade and a Philly Fox Sterlingworth.Quote:

Tulip,I still have all my shotguns,3 of the SO9's,and a few H&H and 3 Purdys.My wife and I both shoot Kreighoffs.It's probably time to start thinnig them out as I dont shoot as often,because of my age.I still shoot live pidgeons,but have pretty much given up skeet.My wife has won a lot of tournaments,state,and some world titles best regards Gary
Gary,
In one of you threads you talked of the resin you used to make the scales. You have one of my razors to polish/rescale now. The WB that I wanted purple/green scales. Anyway would your resin hold up to being cast into a brush handle blank to mach the razor? and is it "workable" such as cut in a lathe, drilled for the knot and polished with micromesh? It could be either a cube or a rough handle shape.

Holy crap! :eek: :eek: :eek: That's quite a lineup. :bow :bow :bowQuote:

Don,Yes I can make that for you Ill make it out of resin and kevlar cloth you can turn it in a lathe and drill it,and it will polish to mirror finish,Im down in Trinidad right now ,but should be in the states on Monday.E mail me with your instructions at mel0220@att.net,and I'LL make you a pieceProbably be easiest to cast in a toilet paper tube or paper towel tube, if that diameter is ok,just tell me how long to make it.Regards Gary
