A few of my cooler pieces

Was getting some stuff out to home this weekend and came across some of what I think are the cooler pieces I own.

The first is a Fenney Tally Ho that has one of the deepest and most intricate etchings I’ve ever seen. Truly a show piece but I haven’t had the heart to restore it so I just leave it as is. 8/8” with original horn scales

Next is a razor I traded for years back and never had the heart to restore, just left as is. Looks to be from a 7-day set as this thing screams old school luxury. Its a 5/8” John Clark & sons cool little smiling blade with natural Ivory scales with a silver inlay and the absolute coolest feature is that the entire tang is made natural tortoise shell. Such a cool piece that I really haven’t thought to do anything with yet.

Last is clearly a gimmick piece but a rare one at that. Unlike the shavettes that were super popular and used DE blades, this is a true double sided solid straight razor that comes in a set with a matching hone and case. Made by Devine safety razor co.

The etching on your Fenney Tally Ho razor is gorgeous.
