Thank you very much. I will take a look at those Pumas.

With the LG it’s the 1/4 grind that I really like first. Then the hard French steel 2nd. It honed beautifully and I think it will keep an edge going for a while. I’d just assume have a Spanish point ~ Blade profile is maybe 3rd or 4th on the list but the paddle style is growing on me after the 2nd shave today. It’s very easy to maneuver. The thumb notch is really nice too. I don’t a razor with one that pronounced.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will follow up and see if they made a 1/4 grind and what kind of steel they were into.

The puma 69 is a quarter hollow grind.

Ok! Thank you. I am on it

Here's one to consider then.

Jimped thumb notch


1/4-1/2 hollow. Closer to 1/4 I think.


Nice buffalo horn scales in good condition.


A fair amount different from the Le Grelot but it checks most of the boxes you mentioned. Sheffield steel though, some of which is soft compared to most American steel. Not really familiar with french steel though.
