    Hello all,
    I'm really very fond of my Ikon X3 slant and I wonder whether the Maggard slant performs equally well.
    It's very reasonably priced and I think I might add it to my razor collection.
    Any one has tried both and what are the reviews?

    You can just buy the head separately and save some money.

    Yes but how does it shave?
    It's also about $34 for postage if I buy a few things from them like the 3 combo discounted heads.

    It's so new I haven't seen reviews on it except this one.....

    I do like the way it completely covers the blade.

    Thanks for the video, highly informative. The MR5 handle alone looks great.
    It seems a bit more aggressive than the X3 from the sound of it. My stubble is like steel and the X3 doesn't make as much cutting sound.

    I use a similar handle (Scotch & Stowe) for my Gillette New Open Comb short head. Good grip and looks good. IMG_0690a.jpg

    it looks about the same as Maggard's but more expensive.

    It's actually about $17.25 for a complete razor on Ebay. A little less than Maggards and free shipping.
