Here's another blade that I've decided to part with: a classic Red Imp 133 in faux-tortoise acrylic scales. This was another razor that I used to shave with semi-regularly - while I normally prefer 6/8” and wider blades, it's a phenomenal shaver I've finished on all my stones, including the Suehiro 20k and JNAT's. And it performed exceptionally, every time. Now it could be yours, as a daily driver or heirloom piece.
This razor's been thoroughly honed up to a Nakayama JNAT, then stropped, disinfected and oiled. When you open it, all you have to do is clean off the oil, lather up, and enjoy a smooth, smooth shave. The 5/8” width's great for beginners or those who prefer a smaller blade - it can navigate sideburns, beards, moustaches and goatees effortlessly. And the square tip gives you a clearer view of your lines. If you're looking for a piece of classic American authentic quality, this Imp's perfect for you.
