Thanks! I think you're one of the members to blame, or thank, for getting one of these!

Really, heard nothing but great things about them, and the SOTD photo's of them are outstanding, so thanks for sharing!

This is my current Filarmonica collection:

A Doble Temple 14, a Novodur, an Especial, a Subcero and an Especial para Barbas Duras:

My new Filly JMP #14, waiting to get honed....can't wait to try it!

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a filly which is 6/8 wide and half hollow grind.
I've tried to find a database something which lists the different widths/ grinds, but all I could find is that the 13 is 6/8 wide

Thanks.

The taurino is close to 1/2 hollow.

All are half hollow , the only exception I have seen so far was Medallion Taurino Banderillas , that one was ~1/4 hollow

Here it is next to a #13 DT for comparison

Hey Stefan

I've just acquired a #13 DT which looks exactly the same as yours (same blue scales) ... I'll post pictures eventually.

Okay, as promised, here are some photos of my recent acquisitions.

One is a #13 JMP Doble Temple in pretty good condition. I have honed and shaved with this blade. The shave didn't feel super smooth, but the result was fantastic. I think this was solely due to my beginner honing skills.

The other is a #14 Jose Monserrat Pou Imperial. I have not shaved with this one, nor honed it. I might send it to a honemeister for its initial sharpening because I don't want to muck it up! It looks like it has original Bakelite scales and the blade is in great condition. I am impressed with the condition of the goldwash - I just need to figure out how to clean the blade up a bit without losing the goldwash.

These are not my photos (they were taken by the person I purchased them from). I intend to take my own photos once I've cleaned up both blades a bit.

Enjoy ...

Once again, from the awesome Classifieds here at SRP, another reminder for those who are new to SRP, check the Classifieds frequently! The Classifieds is where you will always be able to find a quality shave ready blade if you're just starting out, as well as finding some razors that are rarer and harder to find.

Thank-you Cobre, for this essentially NOS Filarmonica Double Temple, JMP #14. I know you were concerned about calling it a true NOS, but it still had a factory edge on it when Val cleaned it up and honed it.

Needless to say, this will be my SOTD today.

Won-der-ful blade in a new dress.
Congrats.
