    O.K., since you asked. I picked up this Filarmonica at the same flea market a week earlier. If I hadn't found the two previously mentioned razors, this one would still have made me very happy. And my happiness was increased because I bought it and a nice Wostenholm pipe razor for $15. You've gotta love those flea markets!

    Yes, it was a "honey hole". Unfortunately I was on vacation at the time and now I am about 1,100 miles away and won't get back until next year. Actually I bought 15 razors in those two visits to the flea market and two others at a nearby antique shop. I know I went through nearly 100 razors to pick the ones I bought. Most were junk with rusted or busted blades and/or broken scales. One guy had a box full that he called "a sixteen year collection". I picked out a few that I thought were restorable and when he asked for $100 I politely thanked him and walked on. But, it doesn't hurt to ask.

    So far I have shaved with the Filly, a Klas Tornblom, a Boker King Cutter and an Ern Crown and Sword from that lot and all have been excellent.

    Regards - Walt
