Thread: NOS Filarmonica Corte Cabello

Puma used to use the rubber too. The only issue is if you get it wet it's near impossible to get under the rubber to dry it off and over time it will turn black.

i'm still waiting for the photos to come through!! I will put them up as soon as I get them.

Take a bit of extra time to clean around the rubber after the shave. Like TBS said, it will turn black around it and may rust. The rubber is a moisture trap. I still wouldn't cut it off. Just dry well with a tissue and try not to get the tang wet while shaving.

Hey Fellas,

here are the pics of the razor! for some reason my phone likes to take pics that are 1.5 mb. pretty good quality phone camera.

Enjoy!

I see what you mean about the rubber on the tang area. I imagined it more on the tail end (where your fingers rest). I don't think I've ever seen rubber that thick on a razor, but then again I'm more of a shaver than a collector. As I said it's basically a matter of aesthetics, I'd cut it off myself but it's entirely up to you.

a true beauty, something most of us would LOVE to have

id leave the rubber... give it a go and see how it feels shaving with it!

Thanks for the pictures.
That rubber is exactly the same as on the EPBD, it just looks a bit bigger due to the relatively smaller blade.
I would never take that off, it adds grip and character to the razor.

Forgive me for possibly being a little ignorant on this (I'm a 'New Guy') but... isn't a Filarmonica Corte Cabello used (by old fashioned Barbers I would guess?) for hair cutting not shaving??? The reason I ask is that 'Corte Cabello' translates to 'Cut Hair'.

Just asking...

erm... might be. I'm going to use it for shaving. never really considered that it might be for something other than shaving!

It is good steel, it will shave, i'm sure!
