    Just measured mine. Two 14s are 15/16s, one 13 is 13/16s and the 12 is 11/16. These were not NOS when I got them but have no hone wear so I assume that is the size that they left the factory.

    generally I don't think their scales look that great either, but I wouldn't change these. hopefully I'll get it at a price I can handle. If so you guys of course are first to know.

    Personally I like the scales with the harp on them. I tend to prefer a razor to have factory scales especially if they are marked. Even if they are cheesy. Not saying that the scales on Fillys are cheesy BTW. All the ones I have are great shavers and you don't have to go through major changes to sharpen them if they need it.

    Great shape, wide blade, rubber grip, red scales, and interesting spine work. Glad I stopped by here on the way to see "what's up" on the bay! This one I'd surely have gone for - especially at that price! Hope you get it Red.

    Yeah! Great find!

    I have a no 14, it measures about 7/8. I think they are a bit "underbalanced"-i mean the scales are a bit light-but except that they are great shavers.

    Did you win?

    I just shaved with my filly yesterday, and it amazing. It was very close & very comfortable. If I was forced to shave with one razor for the rest of my life, I would have to pick this one. It's a seriously good razor.

    My Fil #14 is a perfect 8/8 and like Dave just said an extraordinary shaver. The scales are cheap plastic but the Fillis especially the larger ones are top notch.
