I've never seen one of these before. Apparently it's a Filarmonica with a different name on it. Is it worth $83 shipped?

I'm not sure whether or not it's an actual Filly, wasn't Filarmonica the name of the company and the #13 a specific model of razor they made? To see a seller that says a razor is made by Filarmonica #13 makes me a little suspicious.
Either way, she was clearly worth $83 to someone.
Actually I got it for 82 :D
The seller has sold many Filarmonicas before.Can post some close up pictures when I recieve her,if anyone is interessded.
Sure, post some pics and let us know how she does! I'd be interested in getting a better look at those striations on the blade and tang.Quote:

Saying definitively that the razor was made by Filarmonica is a little suspect.Quote:

Anyhow, Filarmonica or not, I bet its gonna be a great shaver:D

Well, it really isn't a Filarmonica, it's an Olympic, made by the same factory that produced the Fillies. In the description of the auction, he says that Filarmonica had several brands, so I guess that the brand Filarmonica was the high-end brand and there were others in other price ranges not as fancy as the Fillies I guess.Quote:

One particular brand that I want to grab but I wasn't able to for now is the Palmera, made by Juan Vollmer, a Filarmonica's competitor. And there are others...
One other interesting detail is that other competing brands have named some of their bigger models the number 14, just like the Filarmonica 14.
