Gentlemen.
Thought you may be interested. I just had a lifelong friend return from a trip to South America. Tonight was a catchup with way too many red wines and lots of awesome indian food. Before he left I jokingly but hopingly emailed him a pic or three of several fine Filarmonica razors as an example of the gift I expected on his return. He found this in a flea market. It is a Doble Temple 8/8 with slight hone wear and light oxidisation. I am sooooo happy. Can't wait to see how she shaves.
Awesome! Aside from the fine reputation of the Filarmonica, I think that razor's particular pedigree guarantees that it will be a special shaver. :)
I need better friends.
That is really nice. The only thing better than a great shaver is a great shaver with fond memories. :tu
What a great gift. Congratulations.
It really is in quite good condition. Seems my fantastic photography does not do it justice.:D
I plan to restore the blade completely with a possible rescale on the horizon.
Still not sure about that because the scales are kind of nice.. pearl white. It's just they are typical Fili scales I guess.. ie not very good. And a little of the Filarmonica logo is faded.
I can see it looking really stunning in some darkish horn scales.
