Thanked: 0Thinking about buying a Palmera
All,
This would be my first post, and I have to admit I have spent all my free time the last couple of days reading on this awesome site. I bought my first straight razor (a dovo Ivory Micarta) at a knife shop in Jacksonville about 6 years ago. I saw it and fell in love, it was beautiful. From that point on, I have collected straights (mostly for asthetic purposes), not paying attention to brands, but just buying the ones I thought looked really good. I have taken time away from the hobby for the last couple of years though, but I'm starting to look around again .
I'm actually trying to find a razor that I can begin shaving with. I have found that I prefer the razors with a massive blade (I'm 6'4" - I like holding something I can actually feel), and have seen several Palmera Brand razors that I would like to give a shot (Cant find a Dubl or Dovo with 7/8 or 8/8 blade, or I just don't find one thats pleasing enough to the eye, and the Fillis are simply out of my price range). I have done a site search, but very little comes up regarding this brand of razor. I would greatly appreciate any feedback or review on the Palmera Brand straight razor. Thanks in advance for everyone's time.
Nate
