Figured I'd give you guys a heads up as the C-Mon Fillys are very rare. I'm a Sheffield guy through and through, these full hollows aren't for me.

Actually I would have preferred it if you had just mailed it to me without any hoopla or announcement or exchange of money.

Honestly, if it went to a forum member, I'd definitely throw in an extra razor since the Filly name fetches a little extra price tag.Quote:

I'll never net my Filly go it's actually my favorite razor to shave with.
I'm a wedge guy myself. I like a nice silent shave.Quote:

$66 US is $91.72 Canadian...... GRRRRRRR
I hate the exchange rate now!
Almost not worth eBaying. :(
If you can control a razor, they all get the job done. I just prefer the quietness of a slab on Sheffield steel mowing through whiskers.Quote:

All that for only an extra $50.Quote:

I do apologize for starting that. That was inconsiderate of me.
No griping about your listing...more or less us griping about how the Canadian Dollar is tanking. Maybe the Global shipping works best for sellers? I don't know, I've never sold anything on eBay before.
I think the last delivery I was in Melbourne in Australia. Nearly three weeks, and everyday watching it go off to another place.Quote:

I've twice tried to get razors sent to Australia through the Global Shipping Program, only to be sent a message saying it couldn't be done because SRs are a prohibited item on the Australian Customs list. I've checked with Australian Customs and they have no such listing, but do you think GSP will listen?
Here we go off topic again. Well everyone does it to me, lol, so I don't feel so bad. Are you serious? And thanks for posting this. I mainly buy hones now but did buy an expensive one a few months ago. Didn't have a problem getting it but it still took its sweet time. Did the seller state 'tools' or 'straight razor'?Quote:

That makes two of us. But I'm glad it went to a forum memberQuote:

Oh man! I thought I had more time. And while I have no one to blame but myself, my stupid ebay app didn't give me the normal warning notification! I was soooo close......
Hopefully whoever won gets years of enjoyment from it. They have added a lovely piece to their collection.
And if the sale falls through for some reason shoot me a PM or second chance offer through the bay.
Congrats on the sale and to the buyer.
I too was surprised at how low it went for. A 6/8 is my preference though.

The app's been buggy w/ some of their notifications. I've missed Outbid & Ending notifications a few times. Yet it never fails to send you notifications w/ purchase recommendations lol.Quote:

A nice little razor, but no more than that. I'm not surprised at how much it went for (Filarmónicas always attract plenty of attention), but I wouldn't consider it low by any means.Quote:
