Thread: Puma, 1st restoration with US aid

So one of my first finds from my Edinburgh junk shop source has finally reached the end of the road. The razor was obtained for a fiver some months ago and following sessions of hand-sanding I reached the stage when I thought I should call it a day.

Neither photo is very good but they give some indication of the work done. Importantly the new scales are courtesy of AirColorado who contacted me after seeing my initial post and offered to send me scales from his stock of wrecked razors. Many thanks then to AirColorado for this gift... A gesture of generosity and consideration which appears typical of this forum!

There is some pitting remaining but I thought I had done enough for the time being. A learning experience then of unpinning, pinning and rust removal. I have about 6 more now to work on!

Great job..!

I've heard Puma's are sweet shavers, so I hope you enjoy this one. It looks like a new razor!

Nicccccccccccce, well done and great find. Many people will probably envy you as Puma are most people's list.

Big kuddos to Mike for being so generous. This is what sets SRP and its members apart from anything else. Enjoy your Puma and let us know how she shaves.

I have a Puma 89 and it's a really nice shaver. Great job on this restoration!

VERY NICE!! The Puma is on my "list" as Max mentioned, but I refuse to give the prices that they are bringing right now. Thank you for sharing...
