Cheap Puma? A bit of a gamble, but I've seen the cases make that much.
Won a Puma 10 3/8 on Ebay UK bad pictures but described as "in good condition" hopefully it will clean up OK and it wasn't dear at £10.22 inc postage (about 12 Euros or US$16)

Not a bad price but I can't shave with anything under 4/8 and even that is a PITA. The tangs are too thin for my large mitt. Hope it works out well for you.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Never tried anything below a 4/8 before but get on with them fine.

Yea it's because of the size it went for so little. Once you hit 4/8s many won't use them and 3/8s is more a trim size razor and folks avoid them. As long as you can hold on to the thing it should work out fine.

I've owned a 3/8 before. Cute little things, which feared my 8/8s. It was interesting to shave with and I actually quite liked it. It's nice to try as many sizes and grinds as possible. Enjoy it.

I have had a Puma 3/8, good razor but as Jimmy said it is a little hard to maneuver.

Well its arrived and is in pretty good condition, just a few water spots which I think a bit of metal polish will sort out. I shall hone it but that said its still popping arm hair.
My goodness its small though, but its going to be fun shaving with it.

Well as an update, I honed it on my coticule today and after some effort it took a great edge both sharp and smooth.
I found it rather good to shave with. The size didn't require me to wipe the lather off too often and I found its small size very manoeuvrable. This one will definitely have a regular place in my rotation.Regards
