Good morning all. Picked up a Filarmonica this morning ( damn you to hell, ebay) for $150 including shipping from Spain. It seemed high but compared to what I've seen them going for I think I did good. Thanks for any input in advance.Attachment 139212Attachment 139211Attachment 139210Attachment 139209Attachment 139208
A thing is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I think you have established its value.
It looks in decent shape. Are you going to rsstore it?
What size is it, in the pics it doesn't look to be the normal 8/8 ????
I'll know for sure once I have actual possession of it but from the looks of it I'd say probably not. Maybe try to get out those 2 scratches or initials on the back by buffing and just a sharpening.
Yeah, having the razor in hand will tell you so much more..
As to price we actual have a rule against valuations on SRP, but honestly that you decided to pull the trigger at that price is all that really matters in the end.. When you have the razor in hand and can test the edge on your face then you will know if the value is there :)
Toe looks 8/8 as it should be,the heel??Quote:

Thank you all.
Measurement points... Not error is the question if measured to the top of the spine then no it is low, to the hone point on the spine then yes it is close...
Is a nice looking blade,should be a great shaver.
With fillys if you have to ask you can't afford it .......:D
Kidding aside that looks like a nice one on my tiny cellphone screen.
Valuations are not allowed here. Looks like a great razor. Check completed ebay listings to see how much comparable razors fetch.
I know the seller you've purchased that one from, he's from Barcelona, he does sell some very nice Filly's.
OK, after some time I finally decided to sharpen this baby. Since, I've added a usb microscope to my arsenal. Looking at the edge of this blade under 200 x magnification I could see it was flat consistently from heel to toe and had zero home marks. This truly looks to me like it was never sharpened and therefore never used. Truly a find !
