Hi Andrew!

The spine work seems to be an aftermarket mod, I have not seen this in NOS blades. Some of the EPBD's both Tridur and non Tridur have a checkered pattern etched on the spine, as seen...

The EPBD Tridur seems to be the the one that is at the top of the heap, they are hard to find as well. But to be honest, I love al Filis the same, from the Doble Temple to EPBD and everything in...

3 very nice blades, enjoy them and don't forget to show us any new acquisitions ;)

I had one for some time and it works just fine for facial shaving, it is pretty much like other 4/8's I have used. And you are correct about the grind, they are not as hollow as other Filis, more...

Here are my two Filarmonicas, a 14 and a 13 Doble Temple, both are superb shavers, among my top 5 for sure. Now I just need to get my paws on a EPBD....
