I agree c mon is my favorite lost a filly a few weeks ago but found a fair condition type coiuffeur
sic that has made only made in spain no filarmonica and no stamp on blade. Yes its a peter j michels but thats it. Anybody out there that knows about this type. It certainly isnt new like the new cadillac but it doesnt have any filamonica or symbol.

There seems to be quite a few of these Fili/C-Mon razors around.
At any rate they shave well.
I'm stunned... taken aback... gobsmacked! Where's the love for those gorgeous creations by Carl Monkhouse? Here's a look at mine...
