A pretty much NOS Red Imp 133 full hollow 5/8, this one came in as a trade and what's always very welcome when you receive any razor and I only needed to strop the razor and she did deliver a beautiful shave.

Here's mine. A little beat up but still going strong.
I almost bought the nos on the bay recently. Unopened for $280, but fell asleep and when i woke up it had gone.
I didn't know they made larger blades. That's something i definitely want to try. Were they common?
I shaved with my recently acquired Red Imp this morning for the first time and it was the smoothest shave I've had yet. Amazing shaver, and I managed to keep the square edge away from my neck :) fun fun, I wonder which razor I'll order next haha. I'll post a pic when I get a chance
Here's my red imp - Case 133

I wouldn't say that I wasn't paying attention, but the Red Imp took a bite out of me today.... good enough that I had to use toilet paper as the alum block couldn't stop the bleeding :) you really have to pay attention with a square point don't you ..... always know where the point is hehe
This one is no longer mine, and about to make the long journey to "Down Under"...
