    Default Finally found a Palmera

    Hello all,

    It took a couple months of searching, but I found a reputable seller with this Palmera 14 overseas at a decent price. It's pretty clean! Could use some touch ups on the tang, and I'm going to send it out to a honemeister soon. Not original scales, which was a drawback, but you don't see these pop up for sale too often. This is now the biggest blade in my collection next to a Fillie 13 Taurino. Excited to see how it shaves once it's professionally honed. Cheers from Boston

    Great way to end your search. The scales look just fine on that number 14. Let us know what you think when you get that first shave with her.

    Congrats baystate! I've been searching for a Palmera 14 at a decent price and in decent condition and have got shut out for months. Are those scales horn? They look nice.

    So I received the razor back from Max this week, and I just had my first shave with it. Wow! It was suuuuper smooth. Best shave I've ever had honestly. I only own 3 razors, one 6/8 Grelot, a 6/8 Fillie, and this Palmera, and the Palmera blew the other two out of the water. Max did a great job. My next thing I want to do is upgrade my soap. I only have one soap, the Green Proraso, along with an AOS badger brush. Does anyone else here love their Palmera?
