    Can anyone add to this information?
    IBERIA is a prestigious name from the factory of Jose Bassat Jerusalmi. The industrialist José Bassat, was well known in the Spanish industrial circles and in the business world for his Fiqomatic razor blades. He was born in Sofia (Bulgaria), and arrived in Spain in 1930, where he created the company Bassat S.A, better known as Hojas Iberia. This vintage NOS #12 Doble Temple model is made with Swedish Steel and was produced in the 1930’s and is considered to be one of the best shavers made in Spain.

    IIRC Leon used to sell them. Haven't seen him around for a while.

    Congratulations, Dan. I've been eyeing the razor, but pulled the trigger on an NOS Japanese straight instead, although I wish I'd had the finds for both of them. Let us know how it shaves for you.
