Thread: Filarmonica 13 Inoxidable

I wasn't going to post one of these show and tell threads, but when I saw the condition this particular razor was in I just had to tell someone, and my friends in town will just blink and stare at me.
I've never seen a Filarmonica Inox except the one JimR blogged about, his was a 14. I've also never seen a Filarmonica box quite like this clear plastic and slidding tray, with Jose Monserrat Pou E Hijos (I tend not to trust the Fili's without Jose's name on it), or with the date. It reads: "Liber de Exportacion, Años 1967-1978 y 1979"
I'm fairly certain it has the factory edge on it, hairs are simply fleeing. The gold wash is perfect and reads Filarmonica Inox. Only downside is the pivot pin is just a touch loose.
Has anyone seen these?

Oh WOW!!!! That's an incredible razor...you are definitely a lucky man!

Fleeing hairs always make a shave much easier

Those scales look much better than the normal cheap plastic Filarmonica scales. Great score.

Great grab, Justin! That's priceless!
Just lightly tap the pivot pin a little while and I'm sure it will be tighter.
By the way "Liber de Exportacion, Años 1967-1978 y 1979" should be " "Lider de Exportacion, Años 1967-1978 y 1979" which means "Export Leader in the years 67, 78 and 79".

Inoxidable sounds so much cooler than stainless, looks like a great score!

AWESOME .... that is one I have never seen and what a beauty she is!

If I may ask... where did you score that rare one from ???

Thanks for catching that typo, it explains why I couldn't get google translate to make sense of it

Secret secrets!

Heckuva score. That looks like a medallion taurino box. The red velvety 'insert' is supposed to pay tribute the bullfighter's capote (cape). I have a few boxes like that around here somewhere.

I did 6 laps on cerium oxide felt, stropped 100 laps, then shaved with it. Shaves like a Filarmonica, but my face has never felt like this after a shave. It could have been the placebo effect at work, making me shave with better technique because I wanted it to be a sweet shaver, but this one is a keeper.
