Thread: NOS Filarmonicas on ebay

Just a heads up for anyone looking for a Filly - someone's just put up twenty or so NOS Filarmonicas on Ebay, for $35 a piece which seems like a good deal next to classicshaving's price. Half are #12's, half are #14's. $5 shipping.

They're going pretty quick.

Can anyone tell me the difference between a #12 and a #14? #14's the big one, right? What's a #12?

They're all gone.. Eventually I found out that 12 is most likely 6/8 and 14 = 8/8. It was too late for me to include an 8/8 into my rotation but I lucked out on the #12 so I'm not complaining. All gone now.

I missed them. I could've picked up the #12 but wanted the 14 which was gone. I couldn't believe that deal. Hope it's legit because the pic on the #14 was the #12 pic. Some people picked up three 14s. Yes I know who you are.

Lol we won't be saying Robert's name not to give him away

Smart move on Roberts part. Use one, sell the rest. Or maybe he just picked me up one because I was at work? Wow that was nice of him.

Well yeah.. For a small nominal fee

Too good a deal to pass up. I've got one 14 and it is an 8/8 and is one of my favorite razors. So now I'm only three away from a 7 day set. Of course, there's always a chance of getting ripped off somehow, but the feedback was good and at the price, I thought it was worth the risk.

By the way, I may end up selling every razor I own if I can forge 6 more that come out like my first. Right now, I'm tickled to say, the one I forged myself is the best shaver I own. I was hoping it would be a decent shaver but it surpassed my expectations by leaps and bounds. Now I'll have to see if it was a fluke or not.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I got one of each. I'm glad I moved quick on this one, though, they got snapped right up.

I have the Filly's that are on Classicshaving, too, so that means I now have #s 10, 12, 13, 14... I guess they go in order of size. I never did get around to honing the other two, so maybe I'll see about sending the whole "set" to Lynn.

That makes sense, since the one at classicshaving is a "13" and it's 15/16.

I'm sure the seller is fine, but I was a little put off by an exchange I just had with her. The listing for the 14's said there were 9 available, 7 white and 2 black. I was the first buyer yesterday and requested black. I just now got this message from her: "i put to colors down but i never promised which color you will i apoligise but th are all ready packed for mondays mailing."

$35 for an 8/8 Filly is a great deal and I'll be happy with whatever I get, but this note seemed kinda lame.
