No pun intended, but it seems like your spliting hairs now.

Me too BTW, I'm glad I got mine for free and didn't have to pay those high prices...

This Fily thing has gone on too long, you guys need to look at some nice Solingen's, Robert Williams, Livi's, even Chandler if you can get on his list. They all shave just as good. There is absolutely nothing magical about these Filarmonica razors, believe me...
they've been hyped to death. What's really funny is, I've seen them sell for $300.00+ bucks on EBay, but no one paid that. Everyone paid under 100 for there's....Someboday paid 300.00

There's nothing magical about ANY razor, is there?

Wasn't there a magical razor in beauty and the beast?

It sang with the teapot and the candlestick.

Ahhh, my mistake then. Was his name Thiers?


OK, at this point I have to ask...what does it matter if Fillies are going for 300+ on eBay? The only people who might have a reason to complain is somone who sold their a year or two ago for less...otherwise, it sounds a whole lot like sour grapes.

Fads happen. They come and go. At least with the Filarmonica craze it's a quality razor, and not some mediocre crap like the Chronik or something. If someone wants to pay a lot for a great shaving razor that is out of production, more power to them.

If someone DOESN'T want to pay a lot, no one's saying they have to. Go get a nice Revisor, (which, by the way, will run you $200 or so...not exactly giving them away, are they?) enjoy many days of happy smooth shaving, and let the Fillie boom pass you by unnoticed.

I don't think anyone is complaining about prices of $300+ on eBay, merely trying to understand it.

Your point on the price can be turned on you this way. If you know that people are questioning the value of razors and you don't feel that these are appropriate conversations to have, you don't have to continue to read these threads.

You can continue to only read the threads that you deem positive in nature and let this negativity boom pass you by unnoticed.
