From what I have been told - Dovo made them under contract, (ground by Heribert Wacker who had previously made them at Puma Werk for most of his career), for about the last fifteen years of their manufacture. That would mean that Puma stopped in house production of them in the mid 1980s.

Do not be mistaken by this - the ones made at Dovo were every bit as good as the ones made by Puma proper. Most razors comming out of Solingen then and today are of superior quality and each is capable of being your "holy grail" of shaving if it is honed right.

John, good work.
But "Puma" was "Lauterjung", I have wrote about this in Wiki.

Not to be confused with "Friedman & Lauterjung", of NY, Newark NJ, and Walden NY, makers of the "Electric" brand of straight razors.

I wondered about that but didn't want to say anything until after I get one.

Is there a correlation of style of logo with date of manufacture?
