The Straight Razor Acquisition Thread

Thanks Scott..I have Been Eyeballing Em for a While as Well.

Billy..

 

Oh my, that is very nice.

 

That is a beautiful old razor, Tom.

 

Pumas don’t go unsold for long at a low price.nice score billy.

 

Thank you Paul. I am sure she has seen some interesting things over the years.

 

Thank You..Paul..You are Bang On..They Rarely Come Up..Well..The Earlier Ones..This is the Fifth One I Own with the Faux Wooden Coffin Box..For Me they are Indeed Special Shavers..

Billy..

 

I have 2-3 Pumas, and zero complaints.

 

It must be the angle of the camera, but it almost looks like it is shorter when viewed from the reverse side (picture 1) than it is when viewed from the front (picture 2). Cool trick to make a solid piece of metal that is longer on one side than the other!

 

I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of us with no Pumas and plenty of complaints...

 

I thought the same thing and was at first wondering if it was a shortie

 

I Got the Razor Today..Scott..I Havent Taken another Photo of it Yet..But..Its Everything Ya See in the Sellers Pics & More..Its a Stunning Well Built Razor..Its a Real Heavy Meat Chopper for a Full Hollow Grind with a Curved Spine & Smiling Blade Edge..This Particular Model is the One to Go for..This is the Polished More Expensive Version..The Guy I Bought it from Contacted Me & Said it Did Not Come Shave Ready from the Maker Cutting a Long Story Short..

He Re Honed it & it Apears to have a Very Sharp Shaving Edge..Excellent Steel & a Super Serious Piece of Shaving Iron..I Am Gobsmacked by it..It will be My Next Shave..It was Finished on a 20k Suehiro Gokumyo Synthetic..I Am Not Easily Impressed with with Modern Razors But Hey..Life is Full of Surprises.This One Sure Surprised Me & I Havent had it on My Face Yet..

Its a Darn Privilege to have it in the Hand..I Can Tell Ya..For an Empirical Fact..

Your den has been really heating up with some serious competition. This one is just stunning in its simple elegance. Those scales are beautiful but they have to be to keep up with the blade.

 

Its NOT a Shortie..There is No Camera Trick..That Razor is an NOS Job from the Factory..Just Auld Blind Mens Suspicious Eyes that Need Eye Glasses.. My Auld Blind Friend @Karl G Knows what I Am Talkin About..Never Wore his Specs when I Met Him in NO MEAN CITY Glasgow..We Met in the Posh End..I Lived & Breathed the NO MEAN STREETS...Then Some..With the REAL Glasgow Gangsters..Pulp Fiction is a Walk in the Park..Wee are the Real Razor Gang Men..Dont Need a 45 Cal ACP Neither..Those are for Pussies..

Nae Hook Eye..Aboot it..
