Thread: The Filarmonica

It's my favorite razor

You can see it in several SOTD

More pics of my two Filarmonicas, Subcero 14 & Tridur Especial Barbas Duras :beer: :beer:

Here are my two Filarmonicas, a 14 and a 13 Doble Temple, both are superb shavers, among my top 5 for sure. Now I just need to get my paws on a EPBD....

In fact I have only one real filarmonica, the others are Monserrat "J4", a Better "celeste" almost NOS, and "the last but not the least" a Fila "Doble Temple" that I found these days for less than 5$...I have other 14 that I thought was made by fila but by looking closely, they aren't Fila, but rather some solingen...)

The third with black scale is an early Monserat Piu?

Nice catch Zozo !!!!:-)

Hi. The Especial has insincription on tag? Or only on blade?

I'm looking to purchase a Filly, but I'm curious as to the what the different models are.

I'm looking for a small (4-5/8) razor with a half hollow grind, but I'm not sure if filly makes razors like that.
The closest I've found was the #10 Doble Temple, but I've read that, despite being possible for facial shaving, it was primarily designed for head shaving. Has anyone had any experience with this particular model?

Also, on the SRP database (Filarmonica "10-N" 4/8 - Straight Razor Place Library) the #10 is listed as having a full hollow grind, but the pictures I'm looking at show it to be more of a half hollow.

I had one for some time and it works just fine for facial shaving, it is pretty much like other 4/8's I have used. And you are correct about the grind, they are not as hollow as other Filis, more like a half hollow or even close to a wedge grind.

Fila or not Fila
