They are the finest razors I have ever used (disclaimer)I have no interests at all in his auction items.
That being said the scales were all wonky form being stored for decades.
I re-did all mine in Ivory.

The Palmera's are stellar shaver and great lookers, but in a set like this, wow!

No,Mine have a much higher polish (the blades are as they came from the factory) They also had the orig boxes as used at the time.
My feeling is these were the last batch Palmera made.

Very Nice,perhaps the etched Blades were the later blades,I have both,I also have a German,Vollmer marked Palmera.
The beauty of these razors to me is the Sq,points are 8/8+ extream bellied hollows,you can actually feel them Flex when shaving and they sing like crazy.
The round points are all 15/16.

i knew you had done three or four, but i didn't realize it was at least 7. ohh, the agony! please let me know if you ever come across some for a torn soul like me.

He sells per blade, and the Palmera finish is legit, I have seen a bunch of them they all looked like that.

And you have honed a few of them also stefan
Here is another Palmera I have never been able to get any info on.
Blade is 7/8,no #14,only 225,fabrique en espana.
Other side is stamped Juan Vollmer et cie with the palmera logo.
