    How do you like the Ikon B1? I am considering a B1 Standard with the OSS handle.

    B1 stands for the black coating - the B1 Standard is a Safety Bar razor.
    This razor, the B1 DeLuxe shaves like a vintage Gillette NEW - which is mild and effective ... :):)

    Yeah. The standard is a more aggressive head. It looks to be a stainless, and as you pointed out, coated version of their aluminum Shavecraft Tech head. That would appeal to me. Wondering about the coating, the handle, quality, etc.

    I don't often post SOTD's, but today's was an extra enjoyable experience. I had lots of time to take it slow and enjoy the ride. The Commodore whipped the Proraso green into enough cool whip for three passes, but I would only need two and a little touch up. The R41 with GSB on its third shave just glided across my face on every stroke of each pass. I could tell as I rinsed that I had BBS almost everywhere with one trouble spot at DFS+. I am pretty much free of the alum block these days when using familiar gear. The Proraso splash produced no sting at all. No burn, no weepers, no nicks. Exceptional.

    Hi folks, here's a photo of today's OC SOTD-

    This is my remaining Gillette #44 RFB New set. I used a 1948 Gillette Blue Blade with a Proraso super lather. Proraso cream/soap combo. What fantastic results. DFS in two passes. I called it good there. Have a great night everyone!
