Lot of Friodur and Filarmonica razors
Am I missing something here? It almost looks like someone ground out all the heels of these razors - or is it just the photography? Someone been playing with their Dremel a little too much?
Who would do that, and why?
Five Friodurs and a Filarmonica? If I hadn't seen the photos, I'd be all over this...
Wow. And that #14 looks REALLY short...
I guess it was his personal preference. Quick, delete this thread, I may bid on this :p
At least three of them look like the blade has been shortened at the toe.
That is strange, looks like it was welded or something, maybe these were used by a wealthy disabled person? Even so, I would guess that they shave very well.Quote:

And the heel seems to have been reground..(hard to tell from the angle of the pic)
one of the Fridurs looks short too, may be that's why the low interest?

I feel sad that so many good blades had to suffer this fate... :(
in all honesty, the original owner could have passed away, the seller can easily be some ebay auctioneerQuote:

Hopefully anyone that would be willing to spend the money on a filly or friodur would immediately (1) go hmmmmm, why are these being sold as a lot:hmmm: and then (2) look at the pictures and then (3) go "ahhhhh, they've all been sawed off".:idea:
That was my thought process anyway :)
Or failing that, they'd go to this thread!
The auction was over when I posted but, I'm not sure to whose attention it should be brought. The seller most certainly knows what these are and has chosen to list it with the details given for a reason, not out of ignorance.Quote:

If somebody checks this thread they would know, but at the end of the day this really is a transaction between the top bidder and the seller, governed by the ebay rules. We can feel sorry for the buyer but may be they are well aware of what they bought and are really happy with it.
Gug is right. Plus if he paid with Paypal he can always get his money back if they were misrepresented in anyway. Ebay and Paypal really side with the buyer.
What's the deal with this Fily Frenzy these days. People are gobbling them up and left and right....
