    size?

    hard to wrap my head around (probably) almost $400 with updated shipping for insurance etc...

    That's not too surprising. They are a sought-after razor and increasingly rare. TBH I thought the Le Grelot in the other recent thread didn't sell for that much in the scheme of things, but the seller obviously thought it did. YOMV.

    I might be mistaken, but I do believe the seller is a member here, so congratulations to both the seller and the new owner who thought it was worth it.

    Dually noted. And congrats indeed.

    It's the only other grelot I've seen with a worked spine other than mine...

    Yes, that's another of my collection going to a new home. The price surprised me as well. I thought it might fetch around $150 but $355 was very unexpected. It is a very rare razor though. I do still have another worked spine Le Grelot that I'm keeping.

    Damn it I don't have a camera!
    I've got 2 beautiful Le Grelot razors, one with a worked spine, vines I believe it is, the other a heavy "357".
    Also got the paste to go with them "Le Grelot Pate a Rasoir" "a base d'aluminocyline",
    Haven't tried it yet but I will, the razors are perfect shavers tho.
