Hello fella"s... .. Hope all is well. The wife and i got home the other day from a pretty stressful week of being out of town.. Things immediately turn for the better when i see 2 packages on the counter, fully knowing the contents of each.. I decide on opening and using my 1st Filarmonica that i purchased from Gabe last week... I dont want to make this post any longer than it already is so ill get to the point... This razor rocks!! Ive had a number of straights that i would consider top notch shavers, everything from $12.00 ebay finds to my Koraat 14.2 I purchased not too long ago.. But there is something special about this beauty!! This thing literally wiped away 2+ days of a pretty heavy beard growth.. Only took 2 passes and it was good to go.. For me personnely the Filarmonica 13p novodur exceded my high expectations.. Thank you Gabe and i hope everyone enjoys the weekend... Scott WAttachment 295830
