For me, this is probably the Holy Grail of shaving.
Unfortunately not mine.

So, when you find that razor, you can sell me your Medallon Taurino...

Ask me about shaving naked!
Yes, that’s correct.
The metal lyre badge on the scales was also typical of Gen 1, if it is what it appears to be.

Solution - You have the box, so buy the right razor for the box
Well, I just purchased the 1st generation above. So, now I have the
matching box. I am done. Staying away from the 14's...for now.
My 13 doble temple is a great shaver. I suspect you will be very happy with that razor.

I had it shipped to my mother in NJ. Shipping to Japan is cost prohibitive.
I'll pick it up when I go home this summer. It'll be like Christmas in August.
So did you get your first Fili shave-ready?
I would like to hear your impressions on the shave. I am enjoying my 13's a lot, in some ways easier to use because they are slightly smaller. Very happy that I started buying 13's, however the 14 Sub Cero's remain the firm favourites.

I got busy with some things and put it off for a week. Actually, I am new to honing and want to practice on my
JNats a little more before I clean up the Filly. I picked up a half dozen "beater" razors at auction just for that purpose.
I also purchased an Atoma daimond plate at Morihei in Tokyo because I felt that my wakasa was not perfectly flat. I will
give you a report when the "Medallon Taurino" is shave ready. Meanwhile, my mother is forwarding the 1st generation DT
13 to Alfredo for a tune-up.
I happen to like the metal lyre variety of filarmonica scales.
Even more obviously to me,
it is first generation based on the vertical 13.
On subsequent generations,
the 13 would have been stamped orthogonal to the way that it is there
as in your Medallon Taurino pictures.

So my Filly fever has broken out into a full-blown rash...
NOS Novodur 14 (second generation) arrived this morning.

Nice one!
What is the difference between the Novodur and the Doble Temple other than the third pin? I cannot find a clear explanation.
The Novodur was supposedly for professional use.
I had a 13 Novodur and a 13 doble temple and the Novodur was supremely balanced in the hand. More so them the DT.

I have one of those in black.
I intended to shave with it, so I threw away the wrapping paper,
not intending to leave it NOS.
I still haven't used it.
I won't say how much I paid for it.

I am looking at possibly buying Filarmonica SR.
A question:
What are the differences between the Filarmonica 13's and 14's?

Do you mean that the 13 is about ⅜" shorter in edge length?
