Thread: New in package Red Imp

well I purchased this on ebay the other day with the intent to use it as a daily shaver. Yes, Some may think I am crazy for opening it up and using it. To be honest, I am very worried that the blade is going to be rusted out or even worse all cracked and chipped. Anyone have any input on this? It was apparently stored by the owner in a case for some time and he said he feels no breakage through the package. He also stated that if I open it, he will not take it back :| It was a hefty cost and I hope I wont be regretting this lol

If the paper inside looks like its stained or anything might mean moisture got inside, but that doesnt mean it would be rusty the paper could work as a dessicant . As for opening it I am not a collector and would want to use it, but the fact that it is sealed would make it even more exciting to open it and see what you have. Good luck and post some pics if you do open it cause I am curious now.

Even if i were a collector i would open it for sure, but you can open the packaging carefully and save it, i just dont see the point of not opening it,
do you want to show a packaging of a razor........

I am dieing for you to post pics of it opened

Open it up, hone it and enjoy! It will be perfect!

That is truly the proverbial "pig in a poke". I'm sorry but I can't seem to grasp your rationalization for buying into this situation. All you have to look at now is a coffin covered by a plastic wrapper. If that is all you want to look at, then you are fine. But, if you took the razor out of the packaging, you could still look at the coffin and the wrapper and have the same view you had before you opened it. If you bought it as an investment, put in a safe deposit box unopened for another fifty years. If you bought it to enjoy it, unwrap that puppy and use it the way the shaving gods intended . . . . have some fun!
