Took a gamble on Puma Gold
I just got the Puma Gold that ended on eBay. Took a pretty big risk and it may turn out to be a junky blade, but I have the comfort of knowing that I can return it if it doesn't turn out to be ok. The seller specifically says returns are allowed and he also told me there was no rust on the blade, two things that will allow me to return the blade if it comes to me somehow messed up in a way I couldn't see on the auction.
Anyways, do you guys see any obvious issues with this razor that may be bad enough to make it unuseable or an awful deal? Pics aren't great, but I looked for quite a while for rust, pitting, hone wear, cracks, chips, or any burn marks...didn't seem too bad. And again, I can always return it if it turns out crappy...
Pretty happy to have a chance at one though since it is indeed my holy grail.
