    Default NEW PUMA ?

    I just got a new or NOS puma from e-bay and it turns out the guy has a store in Germany,and as far as I could find out Puma is not making new razors at this time,so I'm going to assume that these are NOS,I will be posting pics soon but his store e-mail address is www.dfg-espelkamp.de
    As far as I can tell the Pumas are limited as they said how many were left of each model but I don't speak German,anyhow this thing shaves like the proverbial velvet squeegee-
    Ive never gotten anything new that was this shave ready,I mean a dozen swipes on the strop and it was ready.If anyone likes the Pumas you should give them a look. I'm pretty happy with this one..and no they're not cheap
    however the only thing Ive gotten in the mail like this was when my razor came back from Glen for a resto....its that good. there are three left on e-bay with a buy it now price,the item no. is 290452329760 good luck if you want one

    Most interesting. They don't look like the vintage Puma's I have seen, but it would be very cool if they were.

    Is the one you bought on Ebay like the ones on his site?

    No need to rush for the ones on ebay. They are on his website with many scale options to choose from:

    Puma has restarted razor manufacturing a while ago.

    Just check here: PUMA Rasiermesser

    I don't think so.

    Interesting! The one on ebay is stainless steel, according to the description. I just ordered the carbon steel 6/8". Now I'm very curious ...
