Strangely enough, I was recently looking back on my time on Ibiza back in 1973. Usta hang out at La Taverna, owned by a Limey named Martin and I'd often have his home made Hierbas (pronounced Yerbus). The large bottle/flask looked like a mini forest going on inside with all the herbs and stuff being used.I have an Hierbas de Ibiza in storage somewhere, but I added another to his little brother I received a few weeks ago...

A lot of DE shavers say its a better razor to use than the fatboy ($1.95 razor)Thanks folks. I had a suspicion it might be a slim adjustable. I’ve never handled either but had seen them in videos.
It was marked up on FleaBay as a G1 1961 fatboy.
I’ve had a look under the side of the head and can’t seem to see a date code. Might be my eyes though.
Well, I’m happy with it and am looking forward to trying it out.
That's true. The Slim is maybe even more popular. They are different shavers for sure.A lot of DE shavers say its a better razor to use than the fatboy ($1.95 razor)
Are they strong scented soaps and what are they like to use?These scents looked interesting and I’ve used this base before.

Not strong scented, I’d say medium scented, like a 6 out of 10. Decent performers, nothing better than A&E, B&M, Zingari but the same performanceAre they strong scented soaps and what are they like to use?
Lovely labels.
Duck fat in the base?These scents looked interesting and I’ve used this base before.

Just had my second shave with it in the last hour. I’m really liking it. In fact I feel I should have bought one years ago and saved myself a fair bit of money (although I do like the razors in my not so big collection).A lot of DE shavers say its a better razor to use than the fatboy ($1.95 razor)
Looks great good score mate

Thank you for the tip!Also, make sure to give it that extra 1/4 turn to lock the blade.

The seller initially requested that I returned the Injector blades and then they would send the Contours. He wasn't aware that I am in the UK. After sharing the various address stickers on the package, the seller has agreed to send the Contours to the forwarding address. I was just about to offer to pay for the blades. Let's hope the forwarding address in the US forwards the Contours again without any additional fees.I have purchased 2 mint NOS Gem Contour razors. Today, 50 vintage Schick Injector blades turned up instead. I have messaged the seller, let's see what happens.
