Thread: And Joseph said unto thee...buy me a 15/16 and an 8/8

All of my razors have come from ebay. i've tried to find some locally when I go antique shopping but I haven't scored anything like some members.
I like ebay cause I can search globally for things that I might not be able to find (at a reasonable price) around here. I have a Puma and a Filarmonica that came from spain and some others that came from Canada and the UK. So it makes for stories to tell other than just the manufactures history. I mean we really just buy these and "hold" them for the next generation of shavers/collectors worldwide.

Thanks for the reply, I try to stay away from E-Bay because the bidding always goes too high, but you've shown that you can get some good finds. Please post pics of your Puma & Filarmonica, I'm sure the community would like to see em'.

IF you watch enough and pay attention, every now and then you can nail a decent deal at the "bay". I've bought several nice razors for decent money. Just keep pecking at it. As one member here said "bid low and bid often".

Beautiful scales on that Filarmonica. Very nice, I've never seen that shade of blue on a razor before. Thanks.
