The iKon Slant has finally arrived!!

Elaborate please, thanks.

 

Wow what a beautiful razor. Price is a little hard to swallow. Curious to see how you like the shave.

 

Fine review.
Don't need it.

Not sure Ryan, but that is a great idea. There is a lot of play with the blade around the post, but that maybe a simple work around.

Although it bothers me immensely, it still does not take away from how good all other aspects of this razor is.

 

Fellas, Denial ain't a river in Egypt, y'know!

(What has "need" got to do with it, anyway?)

 

Personally, I think the Ikon slant is a one very cool-looking razor: big, burly aesthetic, with 'industrial-style' stainless vibe.
If it were priced at about 1/2 the current price tag, I would probably be all over it.
For less money, I'd probably get another 39c & simply have it rhodium plated— AS IF I needed another slant.

 

I must give a shout out to Geo Fatboy, after watching his iKon Slant video I now know how to perfectly align the blade within seconds. For this particular razor it is much better to hold the head in your hand and twist the handle on while it is linear.

Any complaints I may have about this razor are far outweighed by it's performance. Hands down it is my favorite razor in my den, pushing down the Merkur 37C Slant and the Merkur Progress to the number two and three positions.

 

Awesome razor,awesome picture.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

 

Ok, iKon's are beautiful. But is there a blade alignment issue with yet another iKon ? Greg makes another beautiful razor but alignment issue's seem to be all to common with iKon.

 

Seems like it may just be a matter of learning the right way to load the blade. Merkurs have alignment issues too if you don't load the blade correctly.

 

Never had a problem with a Merkur.... But I do have a first edition iKon OC Bulldog that is beautiful, but totally unshaveable. Just sayin....
