WOW Dean that is downright beautiful for sure
Oh yes that one has made it upon my bolt cutter list
Thanks @Luecke2326 !! That’s a huge help!! This tennis is a beautiful razor so I’ll have to try it out and see how well she hold up.
Very nice restore of this beautiful old razor. Lovely scales.
After reading Arne's post comparing the Puma 52 to a Tiger 37 razor, I've been looking for a 52 (I've about given up looking for a Tiger), and just found this old beauty in near NOS condition. I'm thinking it must be an early model, based upon the way "Puma" is stamped, but I'm hoping someone can date it for me.
My new toy- Wacker Chevalier 6/8, she’s a beauty and is my go-to. Love the French point under my nose- I sport a well trimmed full beard, so managing the details is what it’s all about.
Nice blade !!!!

Sure is, Luecke! It actually still had a faint etch on it, but at some point someone had taken about 60 grit sandpaper to it. I tried to save it, but ultimately had to sand it down.
Just won this pair of Jacob Ray 6/8 Straights .One in Buffalo Horn the other in Camel bone .
I was watching those. I wanted to bid on them but I dont have money. I'm so glad someone on here got them. And for a hell of a price as well. Let me know how they are. And congrats.
Thanks Ian.....at its from your end of the pond as well.....lol.WOW Dean that is downright beautiful for sure

J.A. Hellberg. Bought it off Etsy mainly for the etch, but it came to me sharper than any razor I've ever touched. Swedish steel is in a class of it's own.
Yes it is. That's one of the reasons I love japanese blades more than others. A lot of the japanese blades use that sweedish steel.
It is indeed in very fine condition. It's also a very good shaver. I can´t date it better than "sometime between the mid twenties and mid thirties.
A Hellberg No.42 if I'm not mistaken and as such the same razor as the Heljestrand 24. Both are very good razors in capable hands like yours.

Just received this beauty today! My first non cheap SR. Cant wait to shave tomorrow!
Vintage Radiumite from Chicago. Twenty bucks plus shipping from Etsy. Love the etching - ride the lightning, indeed. Going to use this to learn/ practice some honing. It's fairly lightweight.
The Flowing is actually the nicest shaver of the Dovo Bismarck series. even if the blade is the same (except for the spine decoration) the notches in the scales aren't there just to look nice. They also makes the razor easier to hold. Sine I'm that kind of person that all my life have been deadly in love with the combination of silver or steel together with black I do also find this version to be the far most beautiful of the four different versions I've got. Congratulations to an excellent razor that is a very good choice as the only razor if you don't want more than one.
