Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I was wondering if there are any Spanish companies that made/make DE razors? I am interested in obtaining one, preferably vintage, but modern would be ok.
Spanish DE's?
- Thread starter t-rod
- Start date
I have definitely seen a DE razor made in Spain, but can't now remember the name of the manufacturer. It was vintage and I do recall it looked like a copy of a Gillette Old type.
I'd like to think there was a 14 filarmonica for every male in Spain, but fantasy and reality often don't mesh....
I recently purchased an Iberia DeLuxe safety bar which has not yet arrived and also own a very nice Iberia DeLuxe open comb that is a fantastic shaver. These were made in Spain and in my experience are not seen very often.

Do you mind me asking where you found them?
I found both of them on eBay. I have see several Iberia straight razors over the years, but I have only seen three of their DE razors for sale (one OC and two SBs).
Respond with some delay ...

Maravilla
Iberia
Filomatic
Palmera

Wow, that Maravilla is handsome! Nice razor, thanks for sharing and welcome to B&B.
Saw a Maravilla, a few months ago. The guy wanted 90 ... Yeah, right!
They're cool, not 90 cool IMO at least. The case was also in poor condition, that one looks a lot better.

Here's a Palmera Adjustable "No. 7" Safety Razor from Spain. Similar but not exactly like the Gibbs and the Personna Precision Micrometric Adjustables:
And a "beefy" Palmera Open Comb "66" Safety Razor:
And a Maravilla "Recta/Curvada" Safety Razor, "recta" being the straight side and "curvada" being...well you get the idea:
And a Beter:
And an old one, and a bit of an "odd duck", the Elevador. I like all the writing on it. Haven't tried it yet:
Massive blade gap on that thing.
Interesting razors. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Lea has a DE razor, don't know if it's a rebranded one
Yes, I noticed that when I loaded up a blade yesterday. Looked like the Leresche 77! But a very nice shaver, smooth and effective.
All these years and no one has mentioned Seygus?
