Thread: Cheap, non-Ebay Filis

To top it off, the site says the prices include VAT, which is 16% in Spain. If this guy knocks off the VAT for USA sales, the price is less than $100 US at current exchange rates, plus shipping. Yow.

If this is a cache of these razors instead of just one or two, this may be a temporary "best buy" like the Jagger TI Le Grelots, back when they were available for a while for about $90 about a year ago.

i did talk to them and they send me better pictures. check this out.you can decide

"Castagnon" was a (clutery?)shop in Esparteros street, in Madrid. You can see the ad on the top right corner of that newspaper "Castagnon razors, the best temple. From 5 pesetas" (1€=166 pesetas, but back in 1910 that was some money...)

I have been able to get one of those "Filarmonica/Castagnon", although through another vendor (and the answer is "no", before you ask if there is any left), and received it today. I do not have any other Filarmónicas to compare it with, but seems like a good blade, also sharp, it is passing the HHT already after some TI & Crox paste, we will see how it shaves tomorrow. Scales are basic plastic, nothing fancy but ok.
