It shaves like a dream and if stamped Filarmonica, it would have cost me at least 3 times what I paid for it.

Nice! Only thing is if you sold it it would bring you a third of what it would if stamped Filarmonica. That's an interesting little phenomenon like sellers market or buyer's market in real estate. if it's a seller's market and you sell a house it helps you but turns back around and bites you when you move into another one. The skinny of that being good on you since you bought it not sold it. It's nice to be on the receiving end of that once in a while.

I bought it with the intention of keeping it, and a keeper she is.
