    Oh, you'd be surprised at how close some help may be! Jamie (celticcrusader)is in your neck of the woods and I'll PM him and include how to contact you and see if things can be worked out for him to help you!

    From what I can see, it's going to be a Damn Nice Razor! Plus a pretty Fancy Storage Box Also!

    I sent Jamie a message, I do hope that he or someone he trusts can be of some help!

    Take care my friend!

    I'll be sure to keep in touch - especially when I'm looking for advice on facial reconstruction after my first weeks shaving!

    A Puma in that condition for that price is worth it IMO. Add pro honing costs, IMO it is still a bargain. What a lovely first straight razor to own, congratulations!

    Thanks Jimbo, I am yet to purchase as there is one other I'm interested in (a Bengall), but I reckon I'm leaning towards the PUMA.

    Bengall would be my preference. That's personal though, just prefer Sheffield shavers.
