When I first saw this on ebay, I knew I had to possess it, and amazingly, I won the auction.
This maker has been at the top of my razor bucket list for as long as I can remember.
It's 6/8", cream celluloid scales and a lead spacer. A shade under AUD$100.00.

Sweeeeeet man!
Beautiful - I saw that one, was definitely an eyebrow raiser...congratulations!
Nice. I've felt that way about a NOS crown and sword that I've been eyeballing for a while now....well, today it's on it's way!
Very Nice,any clue as to what the name on the blade means??
Palmeira is a Portugese word for Arecaceae which translates into English as palm tree or palm........Palm Razor ?Quote:

I suppose it could be a high end hotel name.
It's also spelt Palmera, which is Spanish for, you guessed it, palm tree.
Spelt this way it's the name of a Spanish straight razor manufacturer as well ?
awesome razor sir, you have good taste!!

They are beautiful blades, I've got a matched pair of them, in the original case, scaled in ivory, unique shaped blades. Have them honed and they come out once in a while. As I said, unique shaped razor's and I'd say a 1/4 grind, feels a bit like a wedge, but more nimble.
Again, great score!
I also have a matched pair of 5/8 French point in Ivory but no blade etching. One scale is cracked at the wedge, used a little Super Glue to stabilize it. Both are great shavers, as JR&Sons are noted for, clean, smooth, irritation free. I love 'em! Only time a JR&Sons gave me any irritation was when I received a new purchase and forgot to hone it before shaving with it......Ouch!
