My First Filly !!
I took the plunge and couldn't resist this beauty..my first Filarmonica. Someone help talk me down as my affliction to acquiring razors keeps growing..I still want a custom from Max., Ellis, and Mastro Livi.. to add to my collection. But I am very excited to get this one and I want to thank this site and all of you who have shared your wisdom and experience ,it gives me such passion to appreciate not as a tool, but regarding them with affection and as art..To me it's seeing a time capsule of where the razor originated, to who and how many owners touched its scales. Keep up all the great mentoring on this site, and one day I hope I will become a mentor too.
My appreciation to you all !!

Thank you, and I will be giving it a workout once I send it to be honed.. I'll be anxious getting it back to start using it.

Not to scare u or anything, if it is coming from Japan check the spine, I had ordered to from that vendor from Japan, and always a pleasure to deal with, but I seen the razor I returned which looks identical, was delisted after I returned it... Even tho it had a crack on the spine. Like this

That's a gorgeous Filly indeed. I've got two, one with a small imperfection in the spine but it's been looked at by a pro and deemed a manufacturing defect. Shaves super smooth. Enjoy.
