It's funny how razor brands seem to go in and out of fashion. A few years ago most would kill for that razor. Puma's are at the top of the heap. There are none better.These days they mostly go under the radar. That's too bad.

I remember reading a post here about exactly that, how at one time a Puma razor was the hottest thing, and big Wade & Butchers were all over eBay for cheap, when I started, the Ducks were like that, expensive and battled over, it is interesting to see the various razor brands trend up and down....

I love my Puma razors. They can still fetch a pretty penny, but indeed they are being overshadowed by other makes that are currently in fashion.
Jamsta87, that Puma you have is a very good razor, I know because I had the same one at some point. It has a very hollow grind and the blade is quite thin and flexy. It should take a very nice edge. There are many in Australia who can surely hone it for you. I know of one ebay seller in Oz who bids on every puma razor out there.

Thanked: 0Thankyou for the feedback! Its definitely a beautiful piece! I am very keen to have it all cleaned up and have a shave with it! I have a few cut throats but this one will never be put up for sale. It has my grandfathers initials engraved into scales and that just adds to the sentimental value ontop of its dollar value already! It is in really great shape, id almost be tempeted to give it a few strokes on the pasted strop and give it a test shave but ill hone it first and bring it back to top notch shave ready! Thankyou guys again for the feedback

I used to have a High Class like that but thinned the herd. Still have a few Pumas. As previously noted, they are top of the heap from back then.
If you are going to hone it, not an issue, but if you want to have the honing done, check out the 'Down Under' forum. There are quite a few members from Australia. Maybe someone in your neck of the woods.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Thanked: 18Beautiful razor. I have a Dorko that's very similar. Seems that Dorko's and Pumas are starting to fall in price which is nice. They will eventually go back up but they are amazing shavers. Get it honed up and enjoy it.
