Thank you. This Hungarian artisan sells his razors on ebay.
That's not love that's addiction, which might explain why I still seem to have four MK no32 despite having sold and traded so many over the years. It's hard not to buy another specimen of your very rare favourite razor when it once in awhile actually do turn up for sale.
There are so many fantastic razors in this thread these days that I've run out of superlatives. It's like being at a very good art exhibition. I look, admire and realise that there's no way I ever could afford to actually buy them all. That realisation is actually a good thing since it makes me focus on the ones I've got and appreciate them for what they are. I do also realise that I already got more really great razors of all types than I'll ever be fully able to appreciate to their full value. At the same time I find it embarrassingly difficult to let any of my about 100 remaining straights go.
Enough of introvert ranting. Here's my contribution for today. Puma is my favourite Solingen manufacturer.

Looks like a meat cleaver. How does it shave?
Saturday's Shave: Hayashi Diamond 8000
One of my two frameback razors. Mid 1880's ivory.
I wouldn't be man enough to shave with it. One sneeze and then reconstructive plastic surgery.
Nice!!!!
You are probably correct: I should like one like that just to admire the engineering I think!
