Puma Friseur-Freund #1

 

Le Grelot 5/8 A really great blade on this one, after a small chip was honed out of the bevel. A little menthol to celebrate the warm up since the temperature went above 30deg.

 

Nice razor! Welcome to the dark side!!

 

Very nice introduction. Welcome.

 

So picked it up today what is your thoughts? How would I go about restoring?

Is there such a thing as Filly Tuesday?!?!?!
Razor: Filarmonica Doble Temple 14
Brush: Razorock Extra Chubby Silvertip
Soap: SV Felce Aromatica
A/S: Razorock XX
This Filly was for the South American market. No gold wash and I believe that was intentional. There is an etching for “El Fauno” and an address in Buenos Aires on the blade face. Also has a number set of 22-75, which 1975 would match the 2nd generation timing.
Love the shave.

Enjoy your shave!

That is fine looking razor!

another member for the dark side. Welcome and nice pic.

There is now, Filly Tuesday Sweet razor.

 

With some sanding and polishing it should be able to be honed up nicely. Make sure the frown, at the heel is corrected first.

 

Thank you gentlemen for the warm welcome

 

Glad to have you here.

 

Wow! Super-nice Razor!

 

Should be interesting this is my first straight

 

I think you have a razor that should be fun and will give you a chance to try quite a few things out. Maybe start a restoration thread so we can watch the journey and help out if needed. When I start to restore a razor, I like to think about what I want in the end- user grade shaver or super polished piece (rarely want to do that much work ). I also make a decision on taking it apart... which lets you practice pinning.

Totally on same page...
I marked up your pictures to show what taking care of the heel would look like.

Shows the frown that would cause you trouble during honing, as the frown would not touch the stone when laying flat.
You could work around but correcting it is better.

Looking up the term bread knifing will help in getting rid of the frown. Basically, you want to be able to put the razor perpendicular on a hone and see no light between the razor's edge and hone. The goofy yellow/orange color may show that the rear stabilizers will need to be sanded down so it lays flat while honing.
This stuff will help you set a bevel, which guarantees any future work is on a razor that will shave.
