So he is getting a lot of exposure with the high priced one and then guys hit "see seller's other items". Then there are the razor forums where he knows guys will discuss the crazy price and again check out his other razors. Crazy like a fox. Nice Puma you got there nycexit2.Quote:

Nice razor. I don't think I've had anything but great shaves from a Puma.
Im glad Im not the only one who saw that- Is this guy nuts or just hoping to get some dope to pay that much for a Puma?Quote:

Congrats!
I have a Puma #89 and it is a decent shaver!
Good call on getting it properly honed by a pro.
That way you will get the most out of a fine blade such as that.
If you guys are describing these as decent shavers then you should definitely get them professionally honed-my two Pumas are GREAT shavers,
just my 2 cents,but I have one old one and a brand new one and as I said.........
Mine was professionally honed, but somehow that didn't change the size and the grind to make it GREAT in my book;)Quote:

great looking razor.
just a quick question; what does the #89 mean? i see that puma's have numbers like this on the blade.
Got no clue. But I can tell you this I just shaved with it about an hour ago it was WOW great
I have the same model but yours is older. It's a superlative shaver. As a matter of fact I used mine today.
One of my favorite razors was a puma. I love the puma cases too.
Like many companies Puma used numbers to designate the different models. Made it easier to reference orders on both ends.Quote:
