What I am wondering is if these NOS pieces that have been showing up are old production or old blade blanks that have been finished recently ? Not that it matters if they are shaving like the old ones.

Like you I am under the impression that the steel industry in Spain is long gone but I may be wrong .... I was wrong once before.

Old production! The Blanks were bought by CS! These Filarmonicas NOS i've found them on an old wholesaler of Filarmonica! I only wanted to buy a few..but he wanted to sell all together..so end up buying all! Huge investement that "someone" in my home didnt like it..lol!

There were severall companies emailing me to know if i could get them Blanks...

They may not have liked the cost when you first bought them but I bet they changed their mind when they saw what those "new without releasing" razors were bringing on ebay ?

Quoting Blaireau: "Fillies are made from Toledo steel, the world's finest steel. It is the oldest steel in Europe dating back to about 700 AD. It is one of the greatest gifts that the Arabs gave to Spain"

Things aren't always so.. how should i say..simple(?)..

There was to many costs associated with this buying, just mentioning a few: To pay this i had to take money from the bank where he was invested - i was very penalized for that; Taxes for sending the payments..Portuguese governament are good in these subject; + the time that i have to be gonne from my office to shipp the razors + this + that..when i finally receive the razors i had a huge amount of extra costs that i didnt know that i would have..not to mention that i add offers with the razors..thats the problem of thinking with the heart and not with the head (those beauties have blind me)
Finally im covering my investement (with all the loses and costs associated)..and the razors are almost finishing (6..i guess)!
