    Thanks, Karl! I’m really looking forward to that first shave! Of course, I have to act properly surprised on my birthday.

    Three of them polished and cleaned, they are greased with Ballistol Oil waiting for the Stones.[​IMG]

    You scored big, my friend! A Bengall and Soderen in addition to the five other razors qualifies as a haul. You might even be able to sell one and recoup your investment!

    Just got this kamisori two days ago.

    Handle is broken but I think the names on the sides are Yasuki and Kikusui. Getting an edge on it slowly. It is a little stubborn but getting there.

    Should be a fun change of pace razor.
    Happy hunting.

    Latest acquisition, CVH MK No.30 with Ivory scales. Really not the best picture from the seller on the auction site. Perhaps a little like the Pig in the sack, but for $30 it’s a bargain only for the scales.

    Nice grab Hans! :eatdrink047:
    At least from that side, those scales look in beautiful condition.

    It is a mismatched set as Red Imps were stamped by three trademarks over time that I remember: Morris, Case and Ludo. I’ve also read that Ludo was a trademark of Morris and some Morris’ were stamped Made the the USA by Case, so maybe they all tie back to Case. :)

    I’ve owned a 132 and it was a near wedge grind and yours looks to have minimal hone wear, so I think you found a winner.

    The scales on these blades sometimes shrink and the blade tip hits the wedge, but I always liked the design of the Red Imp logo.
    Nice find!

    Awesome thanks! I was trying to find information but i guess the JA Henkels was the confusing part. How can i tell if it has hone ware? IMG_0415.jpg

    The upper edge near the spine (yellow) looks crisp and not worn.

    When that edge looks worn or uneven, I stay away.
    What name does it have on the reverse side of the tang, opposite the Red Imp trademark?

    The latest acquisition, CVH MK No.30 with Ivory scales. The scales are in excellent condition. The blade needs some polishing and honing, $30 is a nice price for such razor.

    See that flat area by the spine? That’s hone wear :shocked003:
