    No real relation to the old name at all. They are probably quality razors but you can probably do better with vintage. I say this based on the little I have heard about them.

    Just shaved with one I honed for a fellow member toninght, it took a quite nice edge.

    I can't speak for how well it will hold an edge, but my first impression is that it seems to be an okay razor.

    The new ones remind me of the new Timors.. Nothing like the old style..And remember, now days just because it say "Solingen" doesn't mean it was made there... I would wait for the seaze bay or someone here to sell one.. I have one of the old Timors and it rocks. My friend has a new Timor and it sucks.

    No they are not.

    The last of the old original Puma's were made by Dovo but that was years ago.

    The only new Puma I honed had a bit of a warp in the spine & poor pinning & fitting. Not a patch on a vintage one.
