Puma 91 warning

Cedrick,

Truly a great response of yours. So nice of you to invest your time for those clear pictures and explanations, thank you.

The lower blade is a Clauss… these Clauss models are known for a “flatter” round profile at the point (as if someone modified a square point) it is one of the few razors I know of with such a flat-point profile out the factory.

Now that's interesting, much worth keeping in mind. Who's to ask, when it comes to buying N-th-hand razors?

OK, Bart, I stand corrected.

regards,
Matt

Thank you Cedric for adding to the thread. It is very much appreciated for the time you took with your illustrations and explanations.

I own a short razor, by the lesser known brand Pearson &co, most likely shortened by one of the previous owners, or even by the factory. A razor store owner (in Antwerp) once told me that some manufacturers used to offer a "regrinding and repair" service, for razors that went throug the occasional accident. People didn't always live in a throw-away society like we do today. Anyway, my Pearson became shorter than the average blade, at some point. But it shaves like a dream, and its shortness is definitely one of its treats. If you ever have the opportunity to try a "shorty", I'd recommend the experience. :thumbup:

Kind regards,
Bart.

I have done a couple shortys and I must agree with you Bart.I have nothing against a shorty razor. They are especially nice when everything is symmetrical and the scales are also shortened tastefully as well.
