Thread: Found a red imp 133 at flea market -- and a c-mon

So I hit up a flea market in my dads area, and I lucked out at the LAST store!! He had quite a few blades, only ones I recognized were the red imp right off the back and a c-mon. For both he wanted 55, but I gave him $30 for just the red imp and want to get your opinion on the c-mon..

As for the c-mon, im tryin to upload pics from my iphone but its bein a pain in the butt. So, here are pics of the red imp. Also, gonna be needin to find someone to restore her, looks like a definate tumble and shine and a good fight against the chips in the very front, but not too deep. So, if you restore blades shoo me a message!

Here are pics, sorry for them bein kinda crappy... did my best lol






I also bought some VERY crappy pakastani blades, $20 for both... Way to much but, atleast I have a few to my collection now ;P


Orange one was $5, then he brought out his "special stash" of real nice blades for me, $20 for one he said if I buy a $20 i get the cheap one free, whatev, I was in the mood to spend.

Also found a few strops at the last shop, but either really short or really dry and cut up.

C-Mon Pics! okay so i got the pics from my phone, and they are pretty blurry... my biggest concern on this straight was the shape of the blade, it looks like one of those ACTUAL butter knifes that have a bulb at the front. to get it even it seems like itd take the entire blade back? Let me know what u guys think as far as it goes:

The Imp looks like it can be saved however; the C-MON looks to be toast unless you just want the scales. I'm afraid that by the time you honed out that blade there would be nothing left of it.

Sorry for the bad news.

I agree, the C-Mon is toast and the Red Imp 133 can be restored. The other two blades look to be made in pakistan, in short, not good at all. The tip off is that there is no stamping on the tang. Avoid razors with no stamping on the tang. The quality razors all have stamping that indicates the country of origin.


Hope this helps,
