Great stuff. My 6/8 DT 13 :)
Jordan
OK, I'm going to post my updated collection of Filarmonicas.
I have developed a variant of SRAD called FSRAD, Filarmonica Straight Razor Acquisition Disorder.
This is my Filarmonica 13, the Classic Shaving version.
A wonderful shaver, but a nightmare to hone.
My Filarmonica 14, a 8/8 big (3+ inches wide) but not very heavy for its size.
Still needing a light sanding and a polish job.

My Filarmonica 13, classical 6/8 model in NOS condition, a true beauty.

And at last, for now since I have more Fillies but they are not yet ready to seethe spotlight, this is my Filarmonica 12, once 5/8, now 9/16.

Nice grab. Enjoy it.
Yes, Leon, your right. I bid on the one on Ebay, but was outbid by a few $$$ at the last second. This is a second one of the same razor.
(I did pm buddel with the info)
Here's mine with artwork by Bonnie:
I sent my first Filly to Max for new scales, so here is the NEW old razor!

I just polished and honed this beauty. It had some small corrosion around the pivot pin. I de-pinned it, sanded it, polish it, re-pinned it, honed it, stropped it and shaved with it.
I picked up this one in a old barber shop in my town. The barber told me he bought it in the 80's, so this is one of last Fillies made:

One of the smoothest razors I have, just like my other two #13 models.
Yeap, 13 is my lucky number
Let me try again...

Much nicer than the stock black plastic ... Thank you Max!
Filarmonica has become my favorite brand of non-custom razors, and are among the top in my rotation.
This is a nice 5/8 Filarmonica 12 with black scales

Anyone looking to part with a 6/8 Sub Cero? ;)
From left to right - a #13 "Especial para barbas duras," a #14 "Especial para barbas duras," and a #14 Novodur. I also have a #14 Tridur with the checkerboard spine etching and white fancy scales, but its in need of some work...I'll post it when its done:D

Very classy look straight there Steel Butt!
After a long time I get my hand of this beauty:
Very nice Buddel,
That #14 "Especial para barbas duras" is a looker. I hope soon I'll grab one like that, so I can return here to brag some more. :rock:
My #14, purchased right here off the Classifieds. My first Filarmonica!

just noticed a slight difference in my filly medallon taurino from the rest, mines doesn't say filly on the scales and the etching is different it says JMP instead of having the harp on the right side, wonder if it is made before the filarmonica brand existed and they were just JMP's.
Your case is exactly like mine, but the razor is in fact different.
What does the shank has written on it?
Mine has:
Filarmonica
Medallon Taurino

I can't wait to get it REALLY sharp. I just shave tested and while I got a shave from it, it's NOS so probably not honed to the high grits. Man I need to learn how to hone.
You guys are killing me!! My RAD is up to 1000 and I gotta buy something! :)
That looks exactly like the one I am asking about in this thread:Quote:

Even has the same markings. How does it shaves?
Thanks and regards
It shaves like all Filarmonica's - great! Have you tried already?
No, but I have seen it quite cheap for sale (50€ for a NOS one), as I have only seen it in pics, is it a wedge?Quote:
