    Default Red Imp Straight Razor 133

    I opened my mailbox today and received my first SR that I have been impatiently waiting for. It is a Red Imp. I would first like to say thank you;

    @Engine46 assisted me in finding it on eBay, and he found a razor by the same seller that he wanted as well, so he purchased both to save on shipping, and to make sure it was truly shave ready for me, he stropped it before sending it to me. I have read some horror stories about how some people package the razors for shipping, but @engine46 packaged this thing so there was absolutely no way for damage.

    I have never had good luck with post offices, time wise, and this was no different. Due to the "christmas season" it sat in the USPS's warehouse for the better part of a week, waiting to be shipped out to me. I guess it's a good lesson in patience! In the meantime I received a strop, and brush/soap/bowl off of amazon, which was torture as I had nothing to shave with. This was not Steve's fault at all.

    Anyway! I am very excited, and here are some pictures! They aren't the best, as I haven't perfected the art of SR photos, but hopefully I will :P

    I would also like to thank @cudarunner as well for being very helpful. From my first welcome post the people here have been more than helpful, and friendly, and welcoming, which is really hard to find. I will be having my first shave tonight, and if I never post again, just know it was because I severed my carotid artery. As I said before, i am very excited to have received the razor, and even more excited that I will have stuff to post about now!
    Wish me luck!

    They are amazing shavers and hold an edge very well.

    Pay. Close. Attention. To. That. Point/Tip...

    And if you are starting out you might want to seek out a mentor.
    You can learn more in an hour with a mentor that you can on your own in 30 shaves..it is time well spent.

    Keep us posted and Smooth Shaving..
