Sotd 8-17-23 First shave with this literal lightsaber I don't know who is behind these but in typical Japanese fashion just awesome!!! Orko AAA super extra razor, ds cosmetic g7 brush, house of mammoth tobacconist for a most luxurious lather!
I wish I knew. @lindyhopper66 may know something as he owned this one prior to me. Maybe he’ll have something to add
Thanks for the information, and what is a reasonable price for Filly versus Iberia? Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk
Others may know but I don’t since I haven’t seen any Iberias for sale - and it’s been a while since I was shopping for a big Filly. My guess is they are probably about the same price - e.g. expect to pay hundreds of dollars for a 14 (an 8/8 blade.) $300 would not surprise me as a starting point for one in good condition. Hopefully others have more recent experience and informed estimates.
All this talk about Iberia and Filly’s led me to break out my big Filly. As usual, it did not disappoint - it’s a fine shave every time Oh, and the Frosted Lavender - wow - I never used a mentholated lather before and I’m hooked. Talk about a wonderful sensation, it’s great Hot water preparation Romera Wenge Chubby Manchurian Badger MSC Frosted Lavender Shave Soap Filarmonica EPBD 14 Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel Happy shaving - Karl
Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave Cold Water Rinse Proraso Sandalwood Jayaruh #444 Synthetic Fredrick Reynolds 5/8 CWR Dickinson's Witch Hazel Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC The Proraso Sandalwood Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #444 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Fredrick Reynolds 5/8 straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
