Thread: Please Help Puma razor no information at all

Sorry but values are not allowed n this site. However it is a fine razor. I have two Pumas and love them. They take a good edge and shave well. In fact I just picked one u for under $30 with shipping. It had a small chip in the edge. I ground out the chip, reset the bevel, honed it and shaved with it last night. Smooth and comfortable. They can go for big bucks $60 and up. A razor is worth what you are willing to pay. Good luck.

I think Puma's are desirable because it's a full package.

The razors shave well, and are generally well finished, and they often have a very nice wooden box with the Puma inlay on it as well.

The big money as always goes to the complete like new razors with pristine boxes. And they can go for really good money.

A razor that has more obvious signs of wear like yours, is worth only as much as someone is willing to spend on it. And chances are someone will be picking it up to use rather than to collect.


If you were ever to want to learn to shave with a straight then it would be an ideal razor to learn with. Send it out to be honed, and pick up a strop and some soap and it'll give you a lifetime of service.

Indeed, you won't get value here because we do not do appraisals, but you can get a lot on the condition and may be somebody would be able to find info on the front stamp (may be a store in Merzig?).

Your razor is in rather poor condition due to heavy abuse. The width at the tip is significantly smaller than at the heel and the edge there is past the belly. Razors in such condition are not worth much, all that's left in them is sentimental/historical value (well some people enjoy spending a lot of time on difficult projects but that's a whole different thing).

If this razor were mine, I'd save the scales for replacement and throw away the blade.
