Hi there!

I finally managed to get my hands on a vintage Filarmonica Doble Temple #14. I had to do some little restoration on the blade due to its state, but I finally managed to get it nice and shiny.

I reset the bevel with a Naniwa 2K, then BBW with slurry and finally Coticule with water. After that, few passes on a strop and the blade was passing the HHT quite good.

Time to shave with it. Shaves OK I get some nickels on the mustache zone, and after that I get a high irritation sensation on my face. This is the first time I get this feeling when I hone my razors. I have a W&B that I honed with the exact same progression and it's amazing how it shaves and give no irritation at all.

I am starting to worry about it. Filarmonicas are supposed to be the very best of straight razors and nonetheless I get a bad sensation when I use it.

Could it be that I overhoned it? If so, how can I tell? Do Fillis have a special way to be honed/stropped?

Thanks for your advices!
