Gents, what do you think of this dream of a razor?

Nice,a real find:)
Beyond thinking, only dreaming.....
I love it, beautiful etching. What's the age?
Magnificent!
It rests atop my bucket list. Perhaps in my next lifetime a plain Palmera will appear for my shaving enjoyment.
Sweet razor hatzicho.
Exquisite razor! I stare at with shave lust. Use it in health.
She's a looker love at first sight.
Wow! That is a looker for sure.
That is am amazing razor! Have you (or will you) shave with it?
I believe it's a picture of a razor in the Knife Museum in Germany. Smokin' straight razor....:DQuote:

Some of you might have noticed the note in the rigth upper corner - the picture shows a razor that is shown in the german blade museum in Solingen. It is one of not very much razors you can see there (most of the exhibition show swords and knifes). It is a Palmera made by Ferdinand Herberz.
Palmeras were made by two companies or better say grinders in the past. Ferdinand Herberz, Solingen Oligs was the developper of the Palmera and Juan Vollmer later get the rigths to use this brand for the razors he produced in Spain.
However - I have about 10 Palmeras in my collection and personally like the ones made by Ferdinand Herberz more than the Vollmer Palmeras, with exception of the Vollmer Palmera especial.
Also the other brands of Herberz like Cocodrillo, El Plumero and No8Do are absolutely exceptional razors.
Since I was correct in guessing the razor was from a Museum do I win one of your Palmera's? :rock:Quote:

Interesting, i dont recall having seen a palmera with blade etching.
They are truly special blades. I've never had the pleasure. Though admittedly Greaves are my dream razors. I'd love to own more 8/8"+ but the two I have are staying with me for life.
I wish we had a museum like that around here!
Such a beauty that I will never have, kinda like Angelina Jolie :D
:dropjaw: :dropjaw: :dropjaw: :dropjaw: :dropjaw:
it's so f**g beautifull.
sorry for the language! :shrug: :angel:
where it is from this blade? i think it looks much better than filarmonica's. can i ask its width?
Well I can only estimate the width since the razor is shown in an exhibition - no chance to get it in hand, but I think it is about 10/8.
Ferddinand Herberz was founded 1864 in Solingen Ohligs, Germany. They produced razors and fine steelware.
The brand Palmera was also used by Juan Vollmer from 1934 on.

I cant believe I haven't seen one of those before. Well since you said it in a museum I understand now. Beautiful razor.
