There were only a few more razors I was looking for. A Filarmonica EPBD was one and I got it. A 6/8 Puma Gold was another and soon I hope to be able to check that off my list as well. I paid a lot for it, though, so expect to see some of my nice stuff going up for sale...
Can't wait to get this one and clean it up

Lol that's a good one RAD is over.
I'm at the start of the pilgrimage your finishing, I'm trying to acquire as many of the brands as I can to try them so I may pick up some of your collection... I still don't even have a Henckels razor which I'm dying to try.
Beautiful razor! RAD is over untill you think of the next one you want. Trust me. LOL! Make sure to use Renaissance wax. Puma's LOVE to rust.
Henckles are fantastic razors. Im not just talking about the friodur. They all are.Quote:

Update on the Puma Gold (just to show off :D)...I buffed the razor with some polishing compounds (no greaseless) and repinned it yesterday, and I honed it today. Won't shave for a few days, though, since I shaved yesterday.
Oops, the first pic is blurrier than I thought.

That's a beautiful blade, my friend. I'm sure it'll shave like the rest of 'em.
As for razor pilgrimages, I'm still formulating mine. 40 years and 200 razors from now, I may still be formulating it...
was there much work to do on the spine?
Beautiful razor. Damn I hate these things. I just about get to the point where I think I have enough (around 30) and someone shows something like that here. Now I need to take the time to get all of mine in shaving shape. See what I am going to keep, then start buying some more. It's a never ending cycle.
awesome looking razor! good luck with it!
Great work on the Puma! It is superb looking razor, enjoy her!
Beautiful work!
Why is it razors are so addicting???? I guess I'll pick up where you leave off..
I was dying to find a Wade & Butcher, and I just got one yesterday. I'm waiting for it to arrive. It will be # 17 since I started on this adventure. I'd say I have RAD (even though I don't know what it means, I can guess close enough) to go around!! :)
Nice one mate, real beauty!!
Thanks for the comments guys. I still haven't shaved with this thing, but it will be soon!
Lovely razor to begin with, and a lovely restore as well - congrats.
On the termination of your RAD, I can only offer my condolences.
Truly misfortunate is the man that has had ALL the thirsts of his heart quenched.
We can only hope it comes back :)
I thought my RAD was over too. Ironically, I decided I really like pumas too! I'll be searching for a Puma gold and any others I can get my hands on.
Everytime I would shave with my Puma 89, I would kinda wonder why I bought all my other razors. I've basically sold all of my razors that don't shave like that Puma 89.
congrats on a sweet razor! A Puma like that is on my wish list, along with a 6/8 Les Croix, and a Globusman. I can dream, can't I?
