Puma #65 Back to life!!!
This is a Puma 11/16 spike point #65 that I got from Topher yesterday, He did the polishing on the razor, and brought it back to a beautiful mirror finish...
Kudos go to my restore brother there, Nice job Topher!!!!!
When I got it that gorgeous blade, it could not sit in those ugly as sin oxidized black horn scales, so I put it in these White & Black Swirled Marble scales that I had sitting in the shop... Came out with a perfect fit and a razor that I now love....
I cant wait to try the edge that Topher put on it, I'm sure there will be some friendly banter back and forth
after I try one of his edges, as to who's was sharper, since he has tried one of mine, on a Filly Sub-Cero he got from me 
Thanks again Chris..... I love the Blade

Just for everyone's info, I put this sweet little "Pretty Kitty" to the test today...
My test for edge sharpness is pretty darn rough, I go ATG right off the bat, on my neck with 2 days of stubble there.... If the blade even hesitates, it just doesn't cut the mustard so to speak.... I'm happy to say the the edge that Chris put an this blade passed with flying colors... All joking aside there is always a little hint of anticipation when one restorer sells a blade to another, after all we all have an ego and we want another person that can appreciate our work too actually "appreciate" it, and Chris you can use me anytime as a reference to how well you hone... Good job!!!!Last edited by gssixgun; 04-03-2008 at 06:12 PM.

I like the scales, they are neat but not "over the top"
I also like the friendly exchanges I hear of between restorers. Those who share on here and in real life do this community a great service. The more we share, the better we'll all get and the more sweet-ass razors will be out there for us all to enjoy
