Thread: Finally I get an alright deal at an antique shop

So I'm on a trip down south at my boss's request the other week and had time to explore the village, and needless to say the local antique shop. Usual questions and he revealed a pair of razors in a case that were stamped Pall Mall.I wasn't interested for they had seen more glorious days I am certain, besides I don't care much for UK blades that aren't Sheffield forged.

He then pulled out a large green cardboard box with a Puma logo on it. I got very excited and he then revealed the 6/8 Puma within! I had never seen a Puma before, but I do know they are quite popular and while some claim they are legendary, I know that all Solingen blades are fine speaking from experience as well as inherited opinion.

I asked the question, exerting pressure on every facial muscle as not to show neither any emotions nor commitment to the razor and the beady eyed little shop keeper paused. £50 he finally said, and I immediately said 40. He paused again and said '40 it is Sir.'

Anyway, my first Puma! In fairly good condition too. All goldwash intact at least. I honed her up today on a coticule for about 10 minutes diluting the slurry starting from heavy to plain water. I had been getting a little bored of my naniwas lately and this could already shave arm hair to begin with. I finished on my Charnley. Looking forward to testing her after the gym tonight.
