Thread: Filarmonica #13 - Doble Temple - Buffalo Horn

What can I say.

We have a Filarmonica frenzy going on lately in the shaving community and now everyone wants horn.

The blade was in need of a good cleanup and it was decided to completely restore and shine it up. This also meant losing the etching which was pretty much tarnished and stained. Blade looks like new again after a doctors visit to my compounds and wheels.

As to the scales, black horn with faux ivory tapered wedge.

This one belongs to Justin, my local Vegas Jazz player who is moving to N.Y. to try out his luck in expanding his musical gift. He's one hell of a extraordinary bass player (amongst other instruments). I'm wishing him all the best in pursuing his musical career.

(Alex, if you read this..you guys should team up and have a jam session!)

That's just gorgeous. It's so simple yet oozes luxury & sophistication!
So you're giving everyone the horn now, are you Max?!

Black horn is one of my all time favorite scale materials and Max, you manipulate and shape it masterfully.

I like the horn shape of these scales with the pointed scale tips. Given that it's a Spanish razor El Toro is made reference to in these scales.

Very nice, Max.

Yes, sexy is the word!!! those are the most svelt, sexiest horn scales i've seen. I don't know what you did at the toe end but it is really beautiful. I didn't even notice the blade at first!!!!

Very very very good, as usual! When i first see the razor and those scales reminded me the horns of a Bull, or a bullfight accessorie! They match perfectly with JOse Monserrat Pou spanish culture/ Filarmonica spirit..the Spanish Bullfighting! LOve those scales points! If the Filarmonica Originaly were made with that kind of scales..they would be more then perfect!!!!!!! OLÉ Maximilian!! BRAVO!!!!!!

Excellent. Horn is good. Very good. Stunning piece of work there, Max!
