This is a lovely little vintage Filarmonica Doble Temple ("double tempered") razor made  by the famous company of Jose Monserrat Pou & Sons in Barcelona, Spain.  It is in virtually the same condition as when it was made.  There are no splits, cracks, nibbles or dings to the edge of the blade!

It is a stainless steel blade (INOX) - about quarter hollow gound with a french (oblique) point.  The cutting part of the blade measures about 2.75 inches long, the overall blade length is about 5.25 inches and the width is 9/16ths (measured from the top of the spine to the cutting edge).  The edge has been highly polished and is very sharp indeed - it passes the so-called Hanging Hair Test (with my hair - YMMV) and is shave-ready.

The scales are original, synthetic and are in as new condition with the original pinnings in place.

 

The pinning is nice and firm and the blade does not flop around. 


The blade sits nice and centrally between the scales without fouling them.


This razor comes without a box.
