Hi you all,
I had a bought by me 15 years ago Filarmonica Sello Oro 13 razor. Used once. Now I am back to the straights, I am reading a lot, learning a lot and waiting for my second NOS same razor. I will have two, white and black. Just one thing left, my Tony Miller Latigo/linin strop.
I had to let it know to somebody that doesn't think I am mad.
Regards.

Hi, Keen,
Might it seem illogical to have tow exactly equal razors? I try not to be logical when whim is the matter. What differences can we find using different Filarmonicas razors? Guess a newbie like me won't find clear differences? Agree?

I don't own a Filly myself, but from what I've read they're one of the best shavers around. Given their such good shavers, I don't think it's illogical to have two of them. You've seen seven day sets haven't you? :) It's always good IMHO to have two razors, in case you accidentally damage one, or need to send one out for a hone. Given time you may see similarities and differences between the two, it's not like you have to "see all" in your first week of using them. You can always purchase more razors of a different type to play. :) Soon you'll have two good razors to shave with. Just enjoy them and have fun!

You are never too tiny or too rich. I would agree that you never have too many cycles, razors or to much of something we all have in mind right now.
Regards.

Actually, if he only has two, he is much, much less crazy than many of us.

Keeps the Edge Sharp?

I read somewhere that the purpose behind multi-razor sets, aside from showing off and the convenience of less-frequent honing, was that the edge "relaxes" between shaves if you let it sit for at least a day. The claim was that shaving creates a kind of wire edge that will ease back into place slowly if you let it rest, but will just get broken off and thus dull the razor more quickly if you strop it too soon. Thus everyone should have at least two razors and alternate them.

But I'm a newbie and don't know nothin'. Any opinions?

Two of the same razors? Do we not have two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes etc.? The necessities of life come in pairs. Embrace the resilience and enjoy.
