    Now a question,did burrell make blades for the Military? razor was trashed and tossed but still have the box.
    Razor was packed 1955,looks like a mil spec, ordanance box I think,as i recall the markings on the tang was a set of wings and the burrell name,have always wondered about the companys military ties if any.

    Definitely a Mil-Spec box!! It would be neat to have the razor and box!

    I have a NOS red imp that I have not shaved with yet in fact I just sent it out to Glen for honing. 3 of my favorite shaves are from my Genco easy aces , Case temperite and a lakeville cutlery that I restored myself. I have been on the hunt for a Shumate which I have heard nothing but good about . And I just got a Kinfolks top notch in the mail today. I have heard they are great to.

    If we're talking new Razors It would be Hart Steel. The only Vintage U.S. Razors I have are Clauss and They seem to shave just fine too.

    The Hart Steel razors sure are expensive.

    RedImp was my first razor and the only one that has not been switched out of the rotation.

    Ditto! An oh-so-very-minty 6/8" Red Imp #133, stamped "Made for Morris Mfg Co., Solingen - Germany" on the reverse tang. I bought in on eBay, for all of $49.88 + S/H.

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    Nice! Mine is the Case version. The original scales have long since rotted and have been throughmseverel,hand made types.
