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?!

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

Thx Chris! You've got an eye for detail and noticing because it's exactly what I had in mind when making those scales!.

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!!!!

Man, that is more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. From the far out there, to the traditional, to the positively sensuous, Max has a gifted eye for design. I told him to do just that, 'sensuous like spanish classical music', and he has far exceeded my expectations.
For what it's worth, my SO has never really said much about the razors I've shown her, either in person or in pictures. She simply accepts the fact that I am very odd indeed and into many eccentric things. BUT I just showed her this gallery and she responded: 'oooo, that's yours? That's pretty!'

I tapered both the toe and heel side of the scales. Good catch, Red!
