    Default Filarmonica decorated scales

    Hi all,
    I finally found all four of the Filarmonica decorated scales!

    Now I only lack of the "Sevillana" scales.

    Looking at them, I noticed that the blade pin is often different from the typical Filarmonica one. Maybe those scales were selled in after-market by the seller, who installed them for the customer.

    I own a couple of "Le Grelot" with nearly identical scales

    as you can see, the decoration is identical, but the shape of the handle is slightly different.

    What do you know of those scales? Any information will be very appreciated!

    Lovely so we can finally say they actually did produce scales nice enough to match those beautiful blades, because after all most Filly scales are a big let down, always found this one to be a bit mystery? why produce to me one of the best shavers ever then stick a pair of awful scales on them.

    Truly baffling
    One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.

    I cannot see why everyone is so negative about Filly scales. Manufacturer spent his money on the blade and saw the scales as a tool to hold the razor that needn't be very high quality works of art.


    BTW belriose: great scales!
