I don’t think so in terms of the shave quality, but we are both lucky to have good examples of Fili 14s. It is hit or miss with vintage razors.

I think Ulrik goes out of his way to source “silversteel” that is the same composition as the Filarmónica razors. He has the advantage, though, of being able to use modern, digitally controlled tempering and has access to precision tools and abrasives that were not available in the early to middle 20th century. All this leads me to believe that variability in 14-2.0 blade dimensions is quite small. And, he will build you a razor with the options you want; though I don’t think he’ll do gold wash/gold etching.
