hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum (but i write on other forums under the same screen name). im a knife guy and i've spend the last few weeks doing research on here about stropping so i can further refine the edges on my knives. last night i was thinking about getting a decent budget straight razor, but i decided to hold off because there are a few knives lined up on my "must buy list" (plus 2 new kitchen knives coming in the mail).
that leads me to this post. i was driving this morning and i pasted by an antique shop. i decided to go in and see if they have any neglected knives for me to rescue and i found a puma special 89 with the case. now i don't have much experience with straight razors but this looks to be a quality piece.
does anyone know some info/history about it?
i plan on getting the edge back to perfect, but what about the rest of the blade? should i just clean it and leave it be or should i looking into restoring it?
here is a pic of the razor:
