    Default Kind of expensive

    Well when you come across something on Ebay that is really nice sometimes you just have to go for it. I spotted this Filarmonica #13 Doble Temple, Jose Monserrat Pou. I had been looking for one that had the metal inlay on the handle. I won the bid and have been waiting to see it in person. I just took it out of the packaging a while ago and was really surprised how nice it is. just a slight oxidation on the blade. Hasn't been used much if at all. Had to share

    Nice. Sometimes you know you're not going to find a razor on the cheap and you just have to pony up and buy it.
    One time, in band camp, I shaved with a Gold Dollar razor.

    What you need can be inexpensive. What you want, will cost you.

    Nice want, by the way :<0)

    Exactly and it is just plain nice to treat yourself every once in a while, need not having anything to do with it. Hope you enjoy the heck out of it.

    Looks like a very nice Filarmonica, good find and sometimes you've just got to front up in the cash department when you want a piece of quality steel.

    Yes. I have to smile at the comments. So true about the needs and wants. Their are a lot of ugly razors that would shave this face. But just think.... when I'm dead and gone it gives my kids something to say and what the f___ are we going to do with this stuff.

    Wow. Shaved with it last night before going to see the girlfriend. I usually use a double edge safety if I shave in the evening but had to try it. Stropped it on cloth and leather. Really nice shave out of the box. I'm not touching it.
