Looks like it is in excellent condition The Blue Tip is one of my favorite "I really feel like / need to having a mild shave today"-razor
I have made a couple of investments recently. First an Alumigoose via Maggards. Second, this one from Brad Sears, with a 26mm Manchurian knot. Upping the ante!
I haven't orders it yet, but man I want Merkur Futur SO BAD! I've already got the green light from my boss now it's do I want/need one that bad$70 is a good price for that razor, I missed out on the killer $40 sale what2do...
Here's one on Amazon for $10 bucks cheaper and free shipping if you have prime. Not sure it's the one you want though: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T7GC1BY/?tag=thshde-20

I agree 100% I'm watching a shop that is going out of business, maybe I love get lucky and score one at $40.
