Congratulations, Oz. The vintage Pumas are really something. My only Puma is a 7/8'' model #19 and it's one of my top 3 razors.
How did you removed the pitting? By hand sanding? Great job.

Thanx Leon. I know what you mean. There is really something about the Puma shave eh ? I have a 6/8 Friseur Freund & love it.

Well, that restores my faith on using rotary tools to restore blades Originally Posted by onimaru55

With restoring it's all about the results not the methods... tho rotary tools can have some scary results

Nicely done Oz Man,,,
The scales really popped... The blade looks as good as it can, there was some bad stuff on there... Fantastic pics by the way, those edge pics really put all your work into perspective......

Very nicely done! It looks like it was on the road to no return. Kudos for taking the time to bring it back into service!
