    Call me a cynic when it comes to vintage razor brand name reputations. All I do know is that the vintage Puma I have shaves as well as the lesser known vintage brands of Solingen razors I also have. In other words they all shave very well. I think the standards were pretty high for all Solingen makers back in the day as competition was fierce among the many makers. Anyway to me a Puma is a good razor.


    I'd also take what a maker of a product says in praise of their product in a self produced booklet with a large dose of salt.

    What are some of the telltale signs of pre-war vs post-war pumas?

    They have the stamp on the backside tang. Some have Kayser Ellison Silver Steel on the front side. Like old Henckels, lots of models.
    Mine has nothing on the front tang. A #6.

    If there's one Puma out there I could own it would be a 14 I've only ever seen one and it was a serious case of I need that razor badly.

    Here's another rare Puma to look out for this was one I restored made in Sheffield with Sheffield steel, a Puma Lauterjung & Sohn made by Kayser Ellison of Sheffield.

    Out of curiosity, does your Puma have the control numbers stamped on a scale assuming they are original scales?

    This one didn't, It was a very early Puma perhaps that was something they started on the later Puma razors?

    I was wondering because Revisor lists Pumas from the 1950s - 1970s and they appear to have those numbers. It would be interesting to know if those numbers were a post war feature.
