    Sure, that is one of their best IME. It is one of the few with a French point. Great trimming around a moustache or goatee.

    You had some very good luck finding the hohl model at a flea market. And as JimmyHAD said it is a great shaving Puma.

    I have picked up a few in flea markets myself but that one looks new. I usually find them and they look like a wood saw now and then you get lucky and find a nice one.

    I just saw a nice Puma go for $39.95 on the bay. Wish I could have gotten it. I usually see them with hone wear on them but there is a new one someone wants $300 bin. No way I could do that! I had one & it was a great shaver but it had hone wear & I sold it. One day I hope to find one with little or no hone wear.
    Very nice score!!!!!!!
