    There's actually a listing for it in the wiki. Here's the link: Tiger "81" 13/16 - Straight Razor Place Wiki

    Your picture is remarkably tiny, so it's hard to say exactly, but they certainly look the same. Hope it helps.

    I had one made by Lauterjung. Same inlay. Good shavers!

    Thank you Gents for the help,
    now i know some more about this razor.

    Hubsche1, you are right seems to be the same. I was wondering if the TIGER razor is the precursor of the PUMA or not. I check also on the archive Razor makers and this says that Lauterjung is the manufacturer of PUMA but there's no any mentioning about the Brand TIGER.

    How could it be ?
    You gents have more experience than me to clarify this.

    Thanks again for yr precious help and hope to be more acknowledged by yr comments

    Ciao

    Look at TI (Thiers Issard) right now, look at several of the distributors, you will see that they can chose different lines of razors, even down to the names etched on the face of the blade
    There was even more of this available during the golden age of the SR ...

    Tiger and Puma are very different companies.
    You can find some info in this thread.
