After some time I will also show here a restored straigth razor. The blade is a very rare and beautifull Puma with the unusal Nr. 52. The condition is nearly NOS. The blade is a little bit more than 6/8.
The handle is from mammoth ivory. There are some small haircracks in the material, but nothing serious and there are no problems with the stability. I think, if you have an 10.000 - 40.000 year old material, this is somthing you have to live with it.
Very nice indeed!
If you feel like giving them away, give me a call :)
NICE!
Beautiful lookign razor, i love the scales!!
the blade... she is very nice.. where'd you get the torx screws?
I´m also very sad, that it is alwasy ordered. Will not often have the chance, to hold something like this in my hands.Quote:

Gabor,
Send it to me for a test shave. I promise I won't keep it :)
looooooooove it!
:rock:
Very nice! I dig your work... it must be quite an experience to work with such old materials. I am always amazed to realise how fitting the scales are with the blade, making a really harmonious shape. Your Weltmeister in Ebony wood is fantastic in that respect (Fine Razors - Weltmeister, Otto Busch, Solingen-Wald)
That's lovely. Very clear ivory too.
I love Pumas and that is a beauty. I wonder if anyone out there can tell me in what period they used that tang stamp ? The Puma in italics with the rectangle around it is one that I have only noticed on one other razor.
Truly beautiful and classy..
In my opinion it must be one from the period, when Lauterjung changed to Puma. At this razor was nowhere the Puma head. But it came with a Lauterjung box, if I remember right.Quote:

Beautiful razor. There's something intoxicating about materials that were already thousands of years old before almost all of human history took place.
Have test shaved this baby - very impressive. It´s the most flexible blade, that I until now hold in my hand. Also the blade is singing very clear and loud, even when you only cut armhairs. I think the handle with the brass wedge work here like a amplifier. Exceptional smooth shave. Definitely one of the best razors I know, perhaps even better than my Puma Gold or Filarmonica Nr. 14.
And I have promise it to an other person :gaah:
But a word is a word...
Now there's a blend of ancient & vintage !
Speechless :bow
:nj truely beautiful my friend.
it really makes me motivated when i see all you guys doing expert work like your PUMA.
pure class.
respect
Brian
It is very nice. So good!
That razor is the exact opposite of tacky
Looks like a Double Arrow!:w

If I may ask, what exactly did you use for the pins?
Your pictures show torx heads on both sides of the scales.
I looked around the site you linked and was not able to find any nuts to match the screws.
I looked further and saw that they offer pivots (which would yield the same result as your work), however the smallest size pivot (threaded tube) was 1/8".
Here's the link: .125 (1/8") Pivot Barrel - (.50") - w/2-56BHT Screws
Is this what you used? If not, I'd love to hear.
