After having a discussion about a unused NOS Filarmonica 14 (Gen 1) I have and was preparing to hone with someone, they advised me to get it honed the same way it would have been at manufacturing (at a factory on a thuri wheel). The reason being that it will preserve the original grind/geometry (being full hollow and coming to a super fine point).
Now if it had been used or honed/stropped like most vintage ones, I’d do my normal hand honing progression. But since it’s still the original manufacture edge (just dull from time), I’m thinking I might try the alternative.
I’m already in communication with Thiers Issard and am just awaiting on the quote once the representative hears back from the hone master bro.
Anyone ever sent them anything, and if so how would you rate it? I’m attaching an image of the razor I want them to hone.
Cheers
