Really, I didnt know that was a rule. Not that i could give that info anyways. So if i find something and ask what its worth, thats against the forum guidelines?

I have a similar puma, except it is a "Hohl". One of my best shavers and i'm not usually a fan of 4/8.

Nice Find.

For Clarity,
We don't allow valuation discussions. We don't want folks flipping razors here from ebay.

Thanks!

I've got one of those too and it is a real nice shaver. Stainless and a real cool point on it. You made out like a bandit on that one.

im afraid to shave with it, its in such good shape i think i might just put it in my display case. just wondering is this the same puma as the shoes? probably a dumb question.

I'm quite sure they are unrelated to the shoes. Actually, that is a really just a guess, but I'd be very surprised if it's the same Puma.

It is, of course, your choice as to what you do with the razor. I just think it would be a shame if a fine instrument like that is not put to use. With proper care, she'll remain in top shape, even with daily use.

no such thing as stupid questions... just answers or something...
dont think its the same company. altho they are both german... the knife (razor) company is from 1769 according to their site
Things to know about PUMA Knives

while puma shoes... still being german is from 1924 which is way earlier than i would have thought.

very nice razor. i definately think you should shave with it.

Nice razor. Those are some great shavers, and you got the deal of the century on it. Use it and enjoy. All my Puma's I consider as some of my best shavers.

Very nice find and you owe it to yourself to shave with.

What's it worth? Well I'd have to say I'd give ~$40 paypal myself:)

thanks guys i think im gunna try shaving with it! why not. i dont plan on selling it sorry, but i would trade if for one of the razors that have nude pin-ups in the handle. i want one of those so bad and i always lose the bid on ebay and there is one at a local antique mall but for 85.

I'd say you stole that razor. BTW, it's a real beaut!

What a great find. At that price they may as well have given it to you. Nice box too.
