    i think there's a new production at puma. they're readily available. somebody bough one and loved it, but i haven't heard from anybody i know and trust.
    i have plenty of vintage pumas, so unless i get one of these on loan i can't see myself trying them.

    From what I've heard, Puma has been bought up and outsourced. I don't know about the quality, but I'd be hesitant to lay out money for one myself.

    Any shaveworthy vintage Puma I've had an opportunity to use has been a very good shaver. Puma Gold razors seem to be just more rare, perhaps as they were the top of a very good line.

    (I currently have a 6/8 High Class (no model #), a 6/8 1938, and a 6/8 Puma Gold)

    I don't have any experience with the new Puma, and doubt I will as my razor buying days are about over.

    I have seen these and been curious, I can't tell by searching the site exacly who is making these for the brand holder? If for some reason a link is not appropriate would a mod kindly remove my post please.
