Indeed.

I started the Fil 14 frenzy, might as well start the Palmera 14 frenzy

I have six NOS filarmonicas (yep, 6) and love every one of them.. But I do believe that the real reason for this love is feeling that they are NEW. Nobody shaved with them before you, and they are amazing quality..

Combination of this 2 reasons give you what you hardly can get today – outstanding old steel and new razor. Of course you can get new razor any time.. but nothing can compare with OLD and NEW razor at the same time

As I said in another post, Palmera's are underrated in my humble opinion. They just don't have such a prestigious brand like Filarmonica and the scales are poorer than Filly's, but other than that, the steel quality is near Filly's.

Max, you just help me choosing the straight razor for next shave, thanks

Just got through a Filarmonica batch from a Brazilian vendor. One of the them has a heart crushing nick, but I guess the restoration is doable. Maybe I could get my 7 day set of Filys down here.

Gentlemen,

Your expert comments on the Filarmonica razors are enormous help. This is important in my decision to buy one of these well loved razors.

Now, when finished at year's end, if my novel becomes a bestseller, I'll buy a seven-day set of the Filarmonicas you gentlemen have suggested. Wouldn't that be sweet?

Thank you again for taking the time to share your expertise.

Regards,

Obie
