Thread: PUMA 91 High Class

That's a nice gentleman's set you have there. They should hone up fine and shave well. They'll need some resto work that will most certainly destroy that pretty etch.

Nice razors and great shavers. Clean them gently with soap and water to get the looks junk off and call it finished. The looks will not effect the great shaves. If looks are important loose the gold wash.

If you want "nice and shiny" say good bye to the artwork. I have one in similar condition, she aint prettybut she sure can dance!

My only Puma is not in pristine condition too, but it's one of my finest shavers.

Pumas rock, my very best and most dependable shavers

+1 Just tidy them up and leave the beautiful art work. If you do any polishing you will lose it. Keep the art work and keep them tradish. B E A utiful pigeon pair. And get them pro honed, learn how to hone on a different razor, please.
Grats on the find.

+1 I'd just give them a light cleaning, hone them and enjoy them.

If you don't like them, I'll do you a huge favor and take them off your hands...

I'm no expert on this. But I thought that if the blade was rusted along the bottom like that it was cell rot?

Now don't take my word for it hopefully someone else with more experience can say yes or no for sure.

But either that set sure would be pretty if cleaned up!

I'll be your friend if you give them to me?

or did that line only work in grade 2?

Cell rot would cover more of the blade I believe. That just looks like some corrosion and rust.

I have several Pumas, they are all superb shavers.
