Thread: Filarmonica Frenzy

the only 350+ Phillis I have seen on the Bay are the really rare ones, Medalion Tourino mint(Undream here had a great one that sold for 400+ I think), and some others I don't even rememeber the names of.
The #14 Para Barbas Duras I think is in the 250-300 range, and #13 usually go under 200.
Of course there are exceptions too.

I don't shave with a razor that cost me more than $15 lol.

Not to add fuel to the price inflation fire....

But the Filarmonicas are worth the money. I have wacker, TI, dovo, and about 15 vintage bad boys and the Fillys outshine them all. I didn't pay as much as they're going for now, but I would if I knew they shaved this well prior to buying one. It seems like the skeptics are all the guys who haven't tried one! If you're going to spend $300 for a Wacker, you'll be able to win an EPBD for that money if you're patient (like my man in Colorado says).

If you want a big razor like a 14 that is as (if not aesthetically) solid a performer as the EPBD, check out a Palmera. They can be had for $150 less than the EPBD's on average.


EDIT: Also, @zib -- honing does have a lot to do with it, but I recently got a shave from a Palmera that was not (professionally) honed out of the box that was on par with my EPBD that was honed by Max. It had been sitting in the wrapper for however many years untouched. And to the guys who win Fillys that want to put a mean edge on them (if they're not there already), Max is your man. He treats the things like they were his first born.

I heard that the guys that used to the Filarmonica razors are the guys now working for Zeepk, and the razors are EVEN BETTER than Filarmonicas!!!

Start trading your Fili's in on Zeepk's...you won't regret it!

PS - You better hurry tho! I hear they might be going out of business soon!
