Crazy!

WOWSER!That's pricey.BUT,they are dream shavers.You never know,it might be worth it to someone.

Yeah I saw that, as a friend of mine would say, the guy is proud of his razors.

That's ridiculously overpriced. Those razors go for 200 bucks each on average, or less.

filarmonicas are ridiculously overpriced and yet people still buy em; go figure.

Right, but they're priced that way because that's what people will pay. Nobody's going to spend $350 apiece for a wonderedge and a goldedge (at least I don't think they would but what do I know).

I got mine for 14 bucks at an antique store. I also saw a lot of 5 plus a No1 special for sale on craigslist for best offer. The guy didn't respond to my emails or they would've been mine.

There are cheaper Dubl Ducks by themselves and in lots on ebay. That guy is crazy.

The guy selling the Wade and Butcher for 500 bucks is crazy too. Guy was on Badger and Blade claiming a restorer sold it to him for that much and he's just trying to get his money back. I feel bad for the guy but I only paid 5 bucks for my WB meat chopper and aint nobody paying 500 for one.

A few years ago Filarmonicas weren' real popularand were considered very average shavers. A few sentences on the forum a few years later and all of a sudden they are as good as a Wonderedge. I have some generally average stuff in my collection I am holding on to so I can make some big bucks in the future when those particular fads hit town.

I know I always beat this dead Filarmonica horse.

I wasn't SR shaving back when Filarmonicas weren't popular, but I find it hard to believe they were considered average shavers. I've had/shaved with a few Ducks (never a wonderedge) and none of them have held a candle to any of the Filarmonicas. And with the Filly you're often getting more steel.

In my opinion, if the thing outperforms its competitors, then it's certainly bound to cost more. The fact that a few years ago they were undiscovered or underappreciated doesn't really amount to a hill of beans.

The price of a Filarmonica 14 EPBD ($300, on average for unused NOS) is justified when you look the prices on Wackers, for example. More often than not, those are priced over $300 (I own one), and my experience is that the shaves are not as good (in fact, not even as good as some Pumas, for example, in the $150 price range). And this is not to justify what I've paid for Filarmonicas because I've gotten them for less than the going rate every time.

My point is that in any market prices fluctuate based on popularity and quality. To call something unjustified when a lot of people are willing to vouch for it invalidates the statement, IMO.

I'm taking Filarmonica to the grave! I can't say the same for a DublDuck. Anybody want to let me borrow a WonderEdge for a couple weeks

Look at this guy:

he's got the RAD for Fil's

2 Barbas and Doble Temple at 300+ a pop. To each his own. Personally I wouldn't spend that much-on a custom absolutely I wouldn't think twice.

What's worst is these seller's charging shit load to ship. There's one seller I know who ships free but that could take as long as two weeks IIRC. But they've 100% feedback nonetheless.
