I haven't found "Puma" in "Razor Clubs" and decided to post here.
"Puma" in Wiki.

Here are some razors of my Solingen collection. Some of them I have already traded. The Kaufmann (Salesman) was a birthday present for my best friend, who works, by the way, as a salesman.
I'm still looking for a "teacher" razor that matches my profession, but did not succeed in finding one ;-)

Lets start with those, you might have already seen somewhere:

- Revisor 4/8" (one of my sharpest razors)


- Two Schulze Weyer 4/8" (etching reads: "for the strongest beard")




And those you might have never heard of. Some of the razors shown above, the Weltmeister for example appear quite often in German ebay. The following ones are quite rare, at least I have not seen them a second time, so far.

- Rud Frauenzimmer 4/8" (strange name)


- Sanssouci 6/8" (could remove the stains, seen on the pic)


- Kaufmann 5/8"


- Gustav Felix/Gloriawerk 4/8"


As you can see, most of the razors are not in perfect condition, regarding stains etc., but as long as they are good shavers, which all of them are, I don't care. They all are good workhorses and fine daily shavers.

Just a quick question - what do you know about Sanssouci razor? I strongly believe that it was made in DDR after the WWII. What do you think?

@Traskrom:

Hmm, interesting question! I posted some pictures of this raszor in the German wetshaving forum, I am member, and only got one reply. A friend of mine said, this razor was made in the 1920ies, and that his Sanssouci was one of his best razors. That would mean, at least this particular one was made before WWII. But it could have possibly been made in the DDR (eastern Germany before reunion): In Berlin, there is a castle called "Sanssouci", pictured at the razor's box. I'll try to do some research, but I'm not sure, if I can find out more about this straight, as I said, I only got one reply in the thread I posted about this one.

I'm not sure, if any razors were made in the DDR, but they definitely had here manufacturers of DE razors and blades. Maybe they imported straight razors from Russia? If I can mange to find out anything more, I'll post it in this thread. Lets see, what the members of the German razors know about DDR razors.

Here is another picture of Sanssouci razor. This is not mine, we were just discussing it lately.
