    Default Blitz 14 and Kron Vest Jaguar 14

    Jeff (Mvcrash) asked me about a razor that I've shown at the SOTD thread. He wanted to see some pics, then here I am, showing the razor to forum.

    I found this razor in a Cutlery in Pamplona (Estafeta street, very well known because this street is part of the running of the bulls), I went there to buy a kitchen knife, and the seller shown me this cardboard box....



    I looked..... ....A complete box of Barbas duras....."I'm a lucky bastard" I thought....

    Finally the box didn't get any filly, the seller got 2 razors, a Kron Vest and the Blitz, both NOS, but the Kron Vest a bit damaged. ... I went back home with a Henckels knife and 2 straight razors,

    I repaired a bit the blades, the scales and the wedge of the Kronvest. And I have cleaned the logo on the Blitz, because it's a cheap sticker, not a goldwash.





    I don't know very much information about the brands, I guess that they are spanish brands, but may be second brands of a bigger producer as Palmera or Iberia or José Monserrat Pou

    Both are huge blades, 14 Size, like 15/16. They are full hollow blades as the filarmonica 14 or palmera 14, I could call them "singing".....

    Thank you, I know that there are nicer razors in this forum, but these are not very easy to find. Glad you like the thread

    Nice razors. It's difficult to find these old big blades. Hope god to shave. The size is not the most important.

    Salu2.
