    I think they are over rated. I picked one up for 5€ at a flee market, Did sedn it out to mr Miller ay strop shop. He honed it and renovated it for 27€ and it is as good as new.

    To pay 400 for one of those is just crazy

    Keep it simple

    Do you think they are OVER RATED or just over PRICED?

    Filarmonica BARBAS DURAS 8/8 Straight Razor *MINT COND* - eBay (item 170619563472 end time Mar-28-11 12:29:25 PDT)

    Wow...that one is PURDY!!!


    I like how they shave, so I don't think the shave is necessarily overrated. Price is crazy, though, and I have other ADs to feed.
    Given the custom scales, that one may go for a lot. It sold for 450 USD over at B&B on the Buy/Sell/Trade forum and I missed it, otherwise it would have been mine back then.

    Both, it must more then 100 different vintage brands out there. it feels more like a hype that fili is so good, so amazing.

    Its more about the one that hold the knife then the brand of the knife.

    The most common complaint I have heard on the EPBD (aside from price) is about the cheap original scales. A Max rescale should put that concern to rest. I have only had 2 razors rescaled by Max but they were perfectly balanced and totally stunning!!

    Is that your razor? If so, all this posting/bumping of this thread that you are doing should stop. If it is yours and you have a question about why I'm saying this, please PM me.

    If not, please discuss at will.
