Post it up here to see! Would love to see it.

Will do! Hopefully we will have a great turn out. I want to bring some brushes to clear out for sale as well. We need to set up a table of "for sale" items!

I believe the razor is the same blank as the first generation Filarmonica's the imperial eagle is a dead give away I've owned Filarmonia's with the Imperial Eagle stamp on the box and the tang they never have a country of origin although I suspect they are definitely made in Germany.

I picked up one from a member on the forum. It is an extra hollow, shaves like a dream.

That eagle sort of reminds me off hand without looking it up like the eagle symbol that Hitler had or the insignia on something related in his regime. I could be wrong on this however. Very interesting for sure.

Pictures......pictures.....pictures!

I just bought an Imperial razor off The Bay, 6/8ths blade with 2 men on Bicycles etched on the blade $26.95 and that includes shipping. Zero to very little hone wear.

I mentioned that I was going to show my Bicycle Imperial. Sorry for the delay. The etching is light, but you can still see it. Very nice razor.

I was looking for my bicycle razor the other day but I think I came across the other one i have & if I remember right, it is identical to the one Michael70 has, blade wise but it has a pice of string at the wedge end I think. I had it but I need to find it again.
