    Of course, as I am selling my razors (hopefully faster than I buy them!)

    I am always happy for people to fight for them.

    Now stop taking me so serious, and just tease me back, its Relax time!
    My appologies. I thought you were busting my chops for real!

    So in the spirit of your original post - (darn Blackberry won't let me put smileys in, but if it would, you would see the little guy playing a violin)

    When I bid ebay, I will wait until the last 4 seconds before entering my bid at all. I don't get into any bid wars.... I just bid the price that I'm willing to pay.



    .

    That's kind of my perspective. I loose a lot because somebody else already has some number higher than mine as their top number.

    I saw that one as well (wasn't bidding it as I assumed it would go higher) IMHO that looks like a pretty good value. Hope she cleans up well for ya! Just an opinion...if you care more about having the razor clean than the beauty of the gold etch, polish away!! I did this on one of my filly's and I found it very liberating...didn't have to worry so much with post shave clean up (of the razor) after the the etch was polished away...a lot of folks my consider this blasphemous but I tend to find gold wash more of a PITA than the beauty added factor is worth....

    Thumbs up Nice snatch

    David,
    I am a few days late in congratulating you, but this is an awesome buy . Very nice.

    The Filis that I know (And I don't know much) have been spike points...this one is round-ish...did they make round points too or am I way off and need to get out more?

    Thank you very much.

    I have to claim ignorance on the spike/round toe thing. Somebody with more historical knowledge would have to answer. But I have to assume they did. I have seen spikes and round toes in almost every razor manufacturer out there.

    I'm assuming this purchase means you have SWMBO at bay for the moment??

    Actually, I'm very, very far from the Filly expert here, but I've owned about 5-6 now (DT13, DT14, 2 EPBDs and a Novadur 14), and every one has been a round point. I'd kind of be interested in seeing a square point Filly, because I didn't even know they made them!!

    Also, for the person who purchased this, those Filly DTs have the thinnest, flimsiest gold coating you have ever seen. You can wipe it off with two strokes if you're using a polish like Maas or Flitz, and you can even wipe it off just using a towel. Keeping the gold wash would be nice, but to me, having a nice, clean, polished blade is much, much better than a cruddy one (with a gold seal) that no one would ever want to use for shaving. My opinion, anyway.

    First that's a great catch. About the gold wash you can polish the areas around the gold wash with a dremel and a felt pad if your careful. The area inside the gold wash will be a bit darker. If it were mine however, I'd have to get all the rust right off it and get back to the beautiful mirror finish. Fillies are IMHO all about the shave and as long as you don't go too wild the etching will still be there just not the gold wash.
