    Welome Mirek, looks like your getting sucked into the rabbit hole!
    Be sure to check out Wapencia razors, they were made in Poland.

    Welcome to SRP, Mirek! Glad you perservered using straight razors and now have a nice, varied collection of razors. If you find you like the shave from your Fili #14, be on the look out for a #13. It's closer to your Puma in size, and I'm sure you will appreciate its performance (especially if you like the full hollow grinds). I have a DT #13, and it's a great shaver and fairly easy to hone and keep sharp.

    Several members here enjoy using Wapis so maybe keep an eye out for a good one of those. Cheers!

    (My grandfather emigrated from Ukraine early last century and gave me the straight shaving bug early on...but I didn't start using them until 2012.)

    Thank you, Gents, for kind words.

    @Speedster: Yes. I will look for Filarmonica 13, though number of my straight razors starts to wonder not only my wife, but also me.
    @markbignosekelly: Prices of Wapienica razor are rather high today – look here ($65 NOS). In most cases changing scales is first, obvious step, as they are made of cheap plastic. Sometimes, of course, you can find good deal, but it is not very easy.
