    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This Red Imp is very pointy at the toe. I've muted it a little, but am still aware of the toe when I use it. No issues today, though, and this little wedge gave me a great shave.

Agree. Probably the last time I will use it until the fall, though, except for Christmas in June day during the Lather Games (assuming there is one).
