If I get my hands on some extra cash, I'll have to get my hands on one of these puppies just to see what all the fuss is about. :shrug:

Thanks for all of the advice guys. I'll keep at it and let you know how it comes out.:bow
Don't do it Ilija. They are OK, but at best finicky to hone. Get a TI or Dovo for the money.

Thanks for the tip Lynn. It sounds like an interesting challenge, but I wouldn't be paying a browny (CDN slang for $100 as the bill is brown) for the priviledge.
Masher, it looks like you have a razor with honing issues and I'd like to give that specific make/model a shot.. How about a teamup? :cool:
i've got myself one of the old 14's coming in the mail. i heard the new filly's aren't quite up to par with the old filly's (i common trend) so i grabbed a decent one when the chance came along.
I am one of the lucky ones with a rare NOS Novodur barber's use but let me say that Joe Lerch spoke very highly of the one sold at CS too.
For those who don't know him - he has used quite a few razors and was quite the expert
Cheers

If your still having problems with the Filly, bevel it on 1000 grit with a taped spine and start from there. I couldn't get mine to do anything so I went to this step and now it's one of my favorite shavers.

:y Finally got the Filly to sharpen. I got a 1000 grit shapton and used that to get the bevel right. Then it was back to the 4000/8000 norton with most o fthe time on the 4000. I finished off with 10 very light strokes on a 12000 shapton. It's gonna take some fine tuning, but right now it's not bad. :tu
