    You don't have to pull a Filly down your face. You merely have to guide it. The weight of the razor does the work. Most guys shave with a 5/8 full hollow but a Filly is a different experience.

    Razors are a matter of personal choice and one of my favorite choices is a Filly........................

    Dear Jerry,
    Thanks for your comments. I never doubted about Fillys qualities. In addition to this, I understand that you must use good tools that also make you feel good when you look at yourself in the mirror.
    Frank is an example of Fillys performance (logical side of the brain) and I have four and still have no idea of SR shaving, but I bought some of them when Filarmónica was still opened (emotional side of the brain).
    It is difficult that both aspects merge in one as it happens with Fillys.
    But my dead line is, is there any other SR brand of today as good as Fillys? Should we use our Fillys because they are as good as others and also cooler? Should we use our Fillys because there is nothing like them regarding quality?
    Cheers.

    Fillys are good but there are other razors that shave well. Custom razors like Mastro Levi, for instance. Custom razors abound and my first Mastro Levi will probably shave better than my Filly. Type "CUSTOM RAZORS" in a search and enjoy the eye candy.

    Be prepared to spend a few bucks if your focus is Custom................

    I have a funky coiffeur razor from de 70. It is weird and sharp.
