Better than expected Filly 14
I was lucky enough to spot this absolute beauty while browsing Ebay two weeks ago, just so happened to come on auction at the very moment I was looking, and the description was brief and the photo's quite ordinary, as you would expect from someone who does not use or collect straight razors, it came with a buy it now price plus make me an offer, well for quite sometime I was looking for an early Filarmonica and a buy it now price here comes the big question do I make him a offer and risk losing the razor or do I buy it now? Well I rode my luck and made him the offer, well 10 minutes later offer excepted and she's mine all mine, well when she arrived my jaw dropped to my chest, not only a superb early Filarmonica but a full 8/8 no hone wear full hollow looks like it's never been honed since it left the factory, wow I couldn't believe my eyes, well there's nothing left to say here she is.
Jamie.

Great catch, and a beauty it sure is.
I have spent years buying different makes of all types, but this far, nothing beats a #14 in my book
