Blutt BR-1 Safety Razor - Made in Switzerland

Sold on the design...would love to read some reviews next.

It reminds me kinda of Yates Razor a bit it’s simple and sleek.

I just find some of the product info a bit hard to swallow.

Like this nugget:

Plate 0.99mm blade gap – strong – ideal for shaving every 5 – 7 days

Even after shaving with a 1.55mm WR2 head, I feel I need a shave after 36-48 hrs.
5-7 days must be for a certain kind of beard growth, not all surely.

Thanks AlanH81 for the short introduction!

We've had some great feedback so far from testers and early buyers, someone even said it rivals their WR2 so I would say that's high praise!

I just want to clear up some misunderstandings here:

Blut is the German word for blood.  That's not very good marketing.

While you are right that Blut (with one t) is the German word for blood, Blutt (with two t) is the Swiss-German and the South-German word for "naked or bare" meaning without frills or anything. You can have your Pasta "blutt", meaning you have it with a little bit of butter but nothing else. It's barebones.

This information is directed towards wetshavers switching from cartridges and not necessarily towards experienced wetshavers. As everyone percieves blade gap, efficiency and smoothness differently it should not be seen as something set in stone. 
But we hear the criticism and working to make this more clear and understandable.

Too many razors more competitively priced now and it's priced itself out of my interest for what I see. That and it's on the mild side from what I've read. Handle looks like a tweaked design of what Brian designed for WCS too.

Agreed on the WCS-by-CG handle aesthetic. Base plate reminds me of the Homelike Start.

I saw that Jack from The Virtual Groom Room just listed this as one of his 5 razors for life. I know he prefers mild razors, though.

Pretty stoked to buy one of these when they come back into stock. I dig mild razors and I'm thinking this'll become my new daily driver, perhaps replacing the CG Gen1 Level 1. I'm pretty obsessed with all things Swiss, so this is likely a good match for me.

Gen 1 CG is amazing and yes this would be a great choice

I have one of these with all four baseplates available. For me, Blutt covers most of the spectrum. Agree that the basic characteristics of this razor is mild. While the mildest plate does not work for me, both 086 and 099 are great preformers, placed somewhere around CG Level 2. The latest 120 plate is high efficient without being super aggressive, somewhere between CG Level 2 and Level 3.

As a Swiss guy, Blutt is a must for me.

And don’t forget a nice Swiss Watch is a Must..
