Thread: Filarmonica 13 6/8 Novodur or TI 6/8

It's a 135 Carbonsong 6/8 in French Nose. The TI, I mean. Like Rarreola said, at first I was inclined to go after the Filly, because TIs I can get new anytime.

Dylan, yes, I plan to stick with it. I learned how to properly use a straight on the Wade and Butcher India Steel you sold me (which I've damaged in the process, sorry). The price is about 130$ for the TI, maybe 140$ for the Filly, I have to do the euro/$ conversion.

Stubear, the scale is pure plasic on the TI, just like the Filly. But even so the TI's is much better than Filly's in that department, as Filly has - in my opinion - the most horrible scales.

My preference would be for the Filly. I've got 2, a Doble Temple 13 and a Medallon Taurino 14 and both are superb shavers.

I think I would pursue the Filly 13 6/8 Novodur. The Novodur razors seem to be well liked and as far as I can tell less common than the Filly DT.

I have a Medallon Taurino 14 and like it lots. That said I do have several TI razors and like most of them a lot too, so you should be happy with either. They do still make new TI razors though in the C135 steel...

Enjoy which ever razor you get

OMG, what a terrible choice to have to make!! eh? I would have to go with the filly. that's just a personal preference, because I want one so bad. However, either will be a great addition. put on a blindfold, and which ever razor you touch first, buy.

Later!!

+1 to mjhammer...Oh, but make sure you fold the blades into their scales! If not, with a blindfold, you'll get cut! (budum budum...wah waah waaah waaaaaaa)
