FILARMONICA #13 Old Spanish straight razor. - (eBay.ca item 230299393600 end time 14-Oct-08 13:59:30 EDT)
It looks good to me but I wouldn't know how to tell otherwise, I just know that there have been some bogus Filarmonicas showing up on eBay lately. The seller has 100% positive feedback and they've sold Filis in the past. They listed this one previously as a "buy it now" for $459.00 with no takers. I've only been straight shaving for a short while (a few months) and I'm just starting to build a collection. I've got 8 razors now (my girlfriend seriously thinks I've lost my mind) that range from ok to pretty nice, but I'm still looking for that first gem. Filarmonicas like this have attracted me since I started to become interested in straight shaving about 6 or 8 months ago. I think it might be the 50's/60's pastel look that does it for me for some reason (don't know why though, I was born in the 70s). Anyway, I'm really hoping that this is the real thing and that it will somehow miraculously stay in my price range. Any info you could give would be greatly appreciated.
In return, a blue thing scratching its head: :thinking:
Thanks guys.

BTW if this is the real thing and you feel compelled to bid, just realize that you may be personally responsible for a grown man doing a little of this: :cry:
