Thread: Cheap, non-Ebay Filis

Hi all,
Was poking around a new site (advertised in the vendor's corner) and came across this. It's all in Spanish, which I don't speak, but going by the pictures and the numbers on the page, the gist of it appear to be this: NOS Fili #13, 79 Euros. They don't appear to be the prized Doble Temple, but one called the 'Premio de Honor' - no idea what that is though. These are definitely Filis (according to the page "fabricante Filarmonica") though, and a Fili's a Fili, after all.
Knowing how beloved and sought after these guys are (and how high a price they can fetch on EBay currently), I scurried across here to pass the good news on to others.
Feel free to thank me (or gift me one of the Filis - I can't afford one myself. )
Cheers,
Tom

I haven't heard much about Fily's anymore. I love mine, They shave great. That's a good price. I bet someone else found a cache of them somewhere. The last I looked was classic shaving, they had the 3 pin 7/8 Fily's @ 250.00, We need a spanish translator...STAT!

does anyone know how to order one of these? i am at a loss as how to read the site. could someone else help me out here?

Translate


also navigate to shipping (bottom of page) and it will give you info about int. shipping.

I'm still skeptical.Why don't they show a tang stamp in the photos?Manufactured by filarmonica?Or philarmonica?Could be a knock-off.

Just had one of my guys here at work who is Spanish look at it and he reads it as one razor not a supply of razors... But I do not know for sure....

That Filamonica/Philharmonic is simply the translator translating the brand name across. If you have questions, check out the vendor's corner - the user 'varonia' has posted a thread letting everyone know about their store, and is happy to answer any questions, so if you want them to post a picture showing the tang stamp or know about total numbers available, that's the way I'd go about it. His English is a damn sight better than my Spanish, so that's probably the way I'd go, rather than trying to decipher pages of text with Google translate.
They also have a nice-looking scuttle for sale on there which he's posted a thread about.

i've never seen this gold wash before, but that doesn't mean much. it's not clear if the tangs are stamped, that info would be very helpful.
i'm not ordering one since i have had my share of filis already, but if somebody relatively new wants i'd be happy to hone theirs so that i can give it a try.
i suspect that soon we'll have first hand experiences from the guys who offer honing.

Yeah, I'm not familiar with the "Premio de Honor'" name either, but I think it's fair to expect that a manufacturer like Fili may have had a couple of different models like the Doble Temple and this one (e.g Dovo Bismarck and Best Quality, TI Le Canadien & Silverwing, etc etc). I think that that may be all that this is - a different model from the same manufacturer.
I personally am very keen to buy one, I just have no cash for it right now. If he still has some left at the start of March when I get some cash together, I may very well buy myself one then.

Sorry that I got to this thread a bit late. I just checked out the site, here is a translation.

There is not much detail about the razor at all. as for the picture it appears that there is no tang stamp at all.
