Please help identify this Puma

Hey guys,
I went against all advice and bought off Ebro yesterday. I just happened to login and start looking around and lo and behold there was a posting that was not even 10 minutes old. The gentleman was offering six razors in total for a "buy it now" price that seemed very fair. Five of these razors are vintage Puma Friseur Freund no 1's. I've never had a Puma and all I read is how awesome they are, so I decided to go for it. Surely there is a gem in there. And none of them look beyond my humble restoration skills. One of them has an interesting emblem on the scale that I can't find on the net. Its a Friseur with a bicyclist instead of the Puma and diamond. Anyone seen this before? Do I have a Frankenstein here? I've also included the pics from the seller so you can judge how foolish I was. ;) Somehow it just seemed like a good bet.

The Puma 'Barber's Friend' is a good old razor. I've got one myself. One of the black scaled razors appears to have the twins logo embedded in the scale. So if it is a Henckles that is also a good razor. I have never seen the bicycle logo before. :gl:

Yes, you're right about the Henckels. the blade says " J.A. Henckels Solingen, Z. Willingswerk 70-1/2". That's from the seller description...I haven't gotten the batch yet.
The bicycle logo is really strange. I've never seen it on a Puma before. Thanks for the well wishes. I don't know if its cool to say what I paid, but I spent under $100 for all six. I've blown that much on far more frivolous endeavors.

Interesting numbers on the ivory coloured scales, never seen that before.

You did great ! Got HONES ? Might not need much.

For now I leave honing to the masters.

The numbers on the razor...looks like it could have been part of a 7 day set???

Yea that could be a possibility I suppose. Thought about that too but they seem too plain to come from a 7 day set. Another thought crossed my mind that they were numbered because they came from a large barber shop and it was a way of keeping track of identical looking razors. Lots of possibilities and fun to speculate on.

No matter which, Pumas and Henckels are noted to be good shavers.
