    Default Cheeky fakes?

    Are these genuine?

    Pumas with different scales here

    And what looks like a Thiers Issard as well.

    All from the same vendor.

    Just my experience, but I have yet to see a fake straight razor. There are certainly crap razors and razor shaped objects though. I have also seen people who buy old stock blades wholesale, make their own scales and then sell them.

    Both looks genuine to me. The Puma is current production and they look like that...

    TI is genuine. Have not heard of any current production of Puma. Have more than ten Pumas, no one of them is marked like on the photo (cat's head on the blade).

    Remember Puma really went out of business long ago. The name has been traded around so who knows who makes the razors now.
