Offered is a Blutt BR-1 stainless steel double edge razor. It was used only once and presents as new. It is CNC milled of 1.4404/316L steel in Switzerland. It has a relatively flat head shape, making it very maneuverable. This one has the mild 0.67mm blade gap, with neutral blade exposure, which Blutt recommends for everyday shaving. Weight 95g, handle length 90mm. Comes with original box. Retails for $240 at The Razor Company. Asking $210 shipped CONUS. SOLD on eBay

Church, is the handle solid or hollow?

Final BUMP. If it does not sell within the next week or so, I will donate it to the local thrift store or throw it out. I am already losing $50 on a virtually new razor, and I'm really tired of guys on the forum essentially wanting something for nothing, always expecting ridiculously low prices.

No disrespect meant here at all John, as obviously everyone is free to ask whatever they want for an item and buyers will ultimately decide what they want to pay for something (high or low)...
But does it feel like an insult if buyers aren't interested in a used item at a discount of 10-15% from retail? I realize that you're looking at it from a dollar standpoint on a more higher-end item, and you're looking at shipping cost whereas when someone buys an item like this from a retailer it probably includes free shipping. I just have to imagine that potential buyers for a more expensive razor like this are looking at it and saying 'If I spend 10-15% more I get something that's new, direct from the retailer where I know I'm supporting them & the artisan, and I have customer service coverage if something were to end up being wrong with it.'
Obviously if people are sending you insulting messages about the pricing that's another story, bad form for sure. But it's something I think about (and struggle with sometimes) when I'm listing items, and I figure it probably comes down to how motivated is someone to get something sold or if they're fine with just keeping something if it doesn't fetch the price they're set on wanting.
Anyways, just musing... GLWTS

Thanks for the thoughts. I don't feel insulted, just kind of disgusted. I have received two low-ball offers for this razor, both around $100 below retail. And folks who have bought from me know that my gear always is top quality, with nothing wrong with it, especially when I have only used it once.
