Hey Joe!! That's an interesting surface on that blade. What is it exactly? Micro pitting? either way, it looks very interesting and kind of cool. I like it.

Thanks kindly. I did see that on the opening post. this razor came to me as a wonderful pif off another forum. Had my first straight shave with it this morning.

These are SOTD photos of my C-MON straight razors:

5/8 C-MON Wedge


11/16 C-MON Blue Star


11/16 C-MON HF


11/16 C-MON Special


6/8 C-MON Blackie

This is my first shaver. Not the best picture. I just got it back from Lynn a couple of weeks ago.

Big Blade Blackie 7/8

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...
