Thread: this one has my name on it, what size is it?

Hey gents, doing a perusal I found this

Filarmonica 14 Red Hard Beard Straight Razor Box - eBay (item 230353243862 end time Jul-04-09 11:43:53 PDT)

it has my name on it, almost literally. just wondering what the size was. looks to be a good 7/8+. I hear they're fantastic shavers. I think I may have to stay on this one.

Red

If I'm not mistaken 14s are 7/8 and 13s are 6/8, 12s are 5/8. I may be wrong though, I was wrong once before.

and what are the 10? I had one that seemed to be 4/8

I think, 14 stands for 14/16, 13 for 13/16 and so on...

That's a beauty. I always think that Filly's are let down by the scales, but that one looks great. He say's it's a round point though? If he think's that's round i'm glad he's not in the wheel making business.

Here, a pic of my #14 Doble Temple.

I read somewhere that some manufactures measured the blade from B point instead A point. Sorry, Couldn't explain this in english so I marked the points in the pic



From B point if would be a 15/16, not a 14/16... quite odd..

I thought Filarmonica 14 were 8/8... but as I don't own one - yet... cannot say for sure

but beware Red, you might not be alone on this one ;-p

Your namesake, you need to be all over this. Like the rubber fixture, reminds me of a Puma!

Looks like an 8/8, like what Leon was/is selling. Yeah, they are fantastic shavers. Big Red's big red... yeah, that razor is meant for you!

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.
