    Default My new "Filarmonica"

    As I posted a few days ago, I was able to get one of those Filarmonicas marked as "Premio de Honor 1907":

    Cheap, non-Ebay Filis - Page 3 - Straight Razor Place Forums

    It is not from Varonia, but another shop (and there are no more lefts, I'm sorry to say). This is my first Filarmonica, so I cannot compare, but when side to side with my Le Grelot 1/4, the Spanish is lighter and shorter.

    It came with a good edge, and have been able to get a quite good shave after some honing on my 3000/8000 Naniwas plus TI pasted strop and Crox. And I have to say this was my first time honing, so I am quite proud!

    Finally, some pics of this beauty:






    Regards
    Carlos

    great looking razor.
    I have #13 DT and the LeGrelot, the Filarmonica shaves better IMO.

    How does she shave? How does it compare it to a Fili Doble Temple? I'm pleased I was able to point these beauties out to those members who can afford them (unlike me)

    Thanks mainanman, and mosley59, unfortunately I do not have any other Filarmonica to compare, but some friends in a Spanish forum I also belong to and that found the small batch I got this from, say they are the same blade....

    Looks like they're all sold out on that Spanish site I linked to. Hope other people off here snagged one or two.
