Ripoff filarmonica
RARE FILARMONICA 13 SUB-CERO straight razor. | eBay
pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b623a10a#ht_1125w t_965
Title says its a rare 13 sub-cero. While pictures clearly show it was a #14. Then it says the blade is in very good condition....what a rippoff. This blade is probably unusable, it's been honed so badly and so much that it's probably impossible to make it usable again.

That's tragic. If it goes cheap enough I'll buy for the scales, Unfortunately it will likely fetch 250$ lol

Get a look at the frown in the heel!

What a douche! He should remove that POS blade and just sell the scales, that's embarrasing!

He's shot himself in the foot. Instant dispute if anyone buys that.

Trying to be optimistic....
Given the quality of the Filarmonic Steel and the great shave they give I would take a stab at saving that.
Grind the problem heel away say 1/4 inch that would still leave plenty of usable blade. Tape up the spine and hone away.
I think you would still have a nice shave there.
Maybe I am being too optimistic? nahhhh

Sure if you can get it for a decent price, and if you cant save it you can sell the ugly popsicle scales for a decent price!!
