Thread: A Filly For Every Den (SOLD TO MYSELF)

Good luck with the sale, Obie!

I'm *pretty* sure one of CAQ's election platforms that all razor-buying budgets were reset automatically upon the swearing-in of a new government. So regardless of your fiscal year dates, you should be covered...

We're here to enable, I mean help.

I just don't understand how this razor is still here. i have personally have this very razor in my hands and also have tried in my own beard. It is a great shaver indeed. I would never ever let go a Novordur 13p in this condition lat that price, and hell, i'm known for giving prices low enough to piss off some people. But here you go, the good old Obie always kind wanting to give a gret oportunity to the community with this one. Because honestly, the way i see it, at this price, this doesn't even count as a proper sell as much a some sort of "give away" of a great shaver from a very nice community member.

I guess some very lucky new member of the community will end up buying this as his first razor, see the price and try the razor and be super happy; but later on, he will be very disappointing on his next purchase, when he decides to drop 250$ in his next razor and discover this filly kicks the other razor's butt... and then be happy again cause he will understand he had really scored big time with this deal.

anyway, sorry for the lengthy comment but i wish i had been given the opportunity to buy my first filly in such a good condition at this price... if i was not also letting go some of my razors i would not hesitate to bring this beauty home.

Gentlemen,

Thanks all for the kind words. Yes, the Filly is an exceptional razor.

In the end, the razor sold. Actually, I sold it to myself, to keep for a long time. I had plans to cover couple small expenses with the sale. Instead, I decided to buy the razor myself and sell a few safety razors to cover to expenses.

So you will continue to see the Filly on the SOTD.

First off... I bought the same razor from Gabe just recently for $150+$15 ,insurance from Costa Rica amd im here to say that after using it I feel i got a great deal!! thanks again Gabe (btw Gabe you still making Roo Strops?).. And 2nd Congrats on your "purchase" Obie ... Ive been informed that this is a hard time of the year to be a seller and ive certainly noticed... A shame nobody bought it l.. Scott W

This one is a later Filly not stamped with Jose’s name so it has little collector value which is not to say that it isn’t decent razor.

Gee.....I have (collected) both versions. I cannot tell a bit of difference other than one is obviously older with a bit more wear, TBH.

I am happy for you. Be that as it may it is not a Jose Monserrat Pou and should not be called one.

Gentlemen,
We need not start arguments here. I am closing the thread.
