A couple of weeks ago I read a Dutch book on straight razor shaving. It mentioned a range of different razor makes, including Puma. According to the book Puma stopped producing straights ages ago. Which seems to be correct, according to some threads on SRP.
The interesting part to all this is that I have bought some products at Koordenwinkel, including a TI straight. I noticed a couple of weeks later on their site that they were offering new Puma straights (here). Which got me thinking... has Puma started producing new straight razors again? They certainly don't look as nice as the old ones, but they seem to be genuine, as I checked the official Puma website. According to Koordenwinkel they are all 1/2 hollow, but the official Puma website doesn't mention it. Anyway...
What do you think of these new production razors, just from the looks on the picture?
Does anyone on the boards own one and if so what sort of quality is it?
