As we reach the end of the year, I keep thinking about trying to find a first or second generation Filarmonica 13 or 14 next year. But finding one in good condition at a fair price seems like no small feat, so...
Are there any great modern razors with some of the characteristics that make the Filarmonicas so great - like the grind?

- TSS sells a 6/8 inch Dovo Bergischer Lowe with a wafer thin full hollow grind and Spanish point at https://thesuperiorshave.com/product/dovo-36830-german-straight-razor/.
- TIE sells a 7/8 inch Ralf Aust with full hollow grind and Spanish point at Ralf Aust 7/8 Razor with African Blackwood Scales | The Invisible Edge - https://www.theinvisibleedge.co.uk/straight-razors/large-razors/ralf-aust-78-carbon-razor-with-african-blackwood-scales.
- And then there is the Koraat 14-2.0 with what looks like an incredibly thin singing bellied full hollow grind with round or square point.
