If someone was to say to me that they preferred the shave from a Filarmonica as compared to an old Sheffield steel blade, I'd say I understand completely, they are truly superb blades. This is from a few weeks ago when it arrived:

Nice, a very nice chap is Mr Valery we have spoken a few times over on facebook good catch Phrank.

The never honed I get, the box however seems way younger than the razor.
I'm no expert in any way on Filly's (though having owned 3, lol), but by all means:
MAN that is one gorgeous piece of steel!

I sold my sub cero 14, because it had brown scales...
Nah, just kidding.

That looks like it came from our friend in Japan.

Since Sunday I'm a P90X3 graduate and it feels great. On to my second round now. First was lean, now I'm on classic. Today was pull-ups, push-ups, chin-ups, military push-ups, and so on. Maxing out on push-pull. Hands were shaking a little during the shave, but all's well. Did 3 passes for a change. Second pass had still too thick lather and the razor rather glided over the hairs than through them. With the more watery 3rd pass, the whiskers didn't stand a chance.
Now off to bed feeling all "citrussy"...

Congratulations, Sir Herman!

I just finished Physical Therapy on one of these old knees today.. It'll never be a younger person's knee again, but I get around on the old clunker!

So, we're both fit, but on vastly different levels!

Thank you Sir Druid!
Tony is 55 by now, I'm 44. He's more fit than I am. All things are relative.
I'm already glad I'm keeping up with all the exercises...
