    Bamboo, I have purchased from that seller/restorer and his descriptions are accurate and his work is excellent. I agree with the folks above and you would not need to do anything but a very, very light polish on the blade and you do not even have to do that. That is a nice Puma.

    That's a great find. Puma is one I'd like to add to my collection. Pay what it's worth to you. Use it, enjoy it.....Hell, if you choose not to move forward with it, please let me know how to get my hands on it

    Looks great. As said I would just use a little polish on it. I have 3 pumas and all are wonderful shavers
    My wife calls me......... Can you just use Ed

    I asked the seller about this and he told me

    I wish it only took some polish and elbow grease to get that pesky spot, but it will need a buffer ride to come out completely.

    So it doesn't seem like you'd get rid of them with just polish :/

    Let me know where I can get a 6/8" Heljestrand for that money and I'll buy a few.

    So what is your issue here Bamboo. In your OP you mention the blemishes that could be buffed out.
    I don't see any thing needed except a light polish or do nothing at all and enjoy the razor. The sellers photos appear to be completely accurate in portraying the issue. The "blemishes" will have no effect whatsoever on the razors potential for a great shave.
    If you do not want the razor you have a member who posted that he would be glad to have it if you would pass him the information.

    Ah, sorry. Forgot the question in the last post. I was wondering if the blemishes could turn into a more serious problem and if it would be smarter to get them buffed out because of that (since the seller told me he would do that for me if I wanted it) or if they don't matter and can be left alone (besides a little polish).

    I understand Bamboo. It is a nice razor so I guess you have to decide how much of the blade puma identification on the face of the blade you would be willing to lose. If you do get
    the razor I wish you many wonderful shaves.
