    Generally speaking, Puma's are regarded as decent shavers.
    I have a couple myself, and I enjoy the shave they give.

    Just a reminder: SRP rules dictates that no valuations or appraisals are allowed in the open forum.

    And as the previous poster pointed out, pictures always helps

    I don't think I've heard anyone say that Pumas are anything less than stellar. Yes, they are collectible but as has been stated already, appraisals are discouraged here at SRP.

    If you are thinking about shaving with a straight (as opposed to collecting) I'd highly recommend that you send those Pumas off to be professionally honed so you can properly enjoy them. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

    Hold on to those PUMAS. You'll find out why in years to come. Great shavers when they are honed correctly. Send 'em out and find out.....

    Those Pumas are not collectible and are terrible shavers. Please send them to me, I will pay the postage for your troubles!

    sorry for implying that I was looking for value of the razors, just wondering if they were collectible and would they be a great shaver
