Results: Today is an all-German shave. I recently snatched this very rare Puma from eBay, from none other than Ivan (aka, Gugi). Sure, it cost me an arm and a leg, but I was on a prowl for one this size and in this condition. Knowing that the seller was a respected member of SRP was the biggest bonus and reassured me that I was getting exactly what was advertized to me (Thank you Ivan :bow. You are a gentleman and a true scholar). This razor is absolutely amazing, both look and performance-wise. Ivan put an outstanding edge on this beauty:y. The Haslinger shave soap was a first (got it from Bernd a while back, but hadn't used it)...so today was a good day to break her out of her wrapping and give it a tickle with the tips of the Shavemac. Woooowwww :dropjaw:!!!! What a SUPERB treat. To call it Perfect would an understatement. All the pieces fell into their rightful places and the planets were perfectly aligned as this shave evolved into a truly Divine experience :angel: (I wonder if Mark's spirit had anything to do with it...this one's for you my brother). |
