Thread: Type of Point?

I'm really liking the inclined nose these days. A bit less curved than a French nose but a similar look. Then again, I'm trying to collect them all

That said, they all work

I like them all but I have to agree with the above posts. I'm becoming more and more a fan of BIG blades!

There is a reason they are called "RED" Imps and come with bright red scales. I have two of them ( 132 & 133) and they are both vampires.

Absolutely. They can hold their own against the big ticket razors. I slightly muted the point on both my Imps. The worse cuts I have gotten were from my Red Imp 132 during my very first straight razor shave. A two inch vertical slash just in front of each ear. LOTS OF BLOOD!

But I did learn to always know where the spike is from that point on. It is a lesson you don't want to repeat.
