Semogue 1438 : José Monserrat Pou 14 Medallón Taurino, "estocada" : De Vergulde Hand SS : Alt Innsbruck cologne



If someone tells me when I bought this razor (20 euros in a small cutlery of Pamplona) that I was going to get a BBS like today I would not have believed it, but it's an excellent shaver. It was me who did not know how to use it.

In Semogue everything is right, even small brushes, what a joy to use them.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Martinez' custom: Chess King w/ 26mm silver tip badger
Soap: TSD Coffee
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop
Razor: Josh Earl custom 8/8 - Ebony scales
ASB: Caswell-Massey number six

It DOES shave as good as it looks!
Great razor Josh! It's five hours since I shaved and I'm still grinning.

The bargain price that I paid for the razor, a true steal,...But some stores prefer to sell new Dovos and Henckels to restore and care Filarmonicas, Palmeras and Pumas,.........But they are selling (not always in good condition) them at very low prices, the wanted spanish filarmonicas can be found here by less than 50 bucks in some cases, and I am talking about NOS pieces.

The inconvenient is that you need to visit every small cutlery and old hairdresser to ask them about the razors, but if they have keep a razor in good condition......

At the moment I have found that there are some razor hunters in Spain, 2 months ago I visit a cutlery and a person have bought all the stock of Filarmonicas (Doble Temple 14, and 13, Barbas Duras 14,....) about 10 razors by less than 150 euros
