Which iKon did you get?

 

B1 Standard head. It looks like a stainless, and B1 coated, version of their Shavecraft Tech head. OSS handle.

 

Thank you, I contacted him and may have him service two of my razors.

 

What are his prices like?

Very reasonable, varies to what is needed to be done.

 

Nope, that's against the rules. You'll have to send it to me now.

 

Nope, nope, If he breaks the rules, he has to send it to @RyX Moderators have to assess it for value.

 

Humm, as much as I'd like to have a Toggle in my den, I'd pass. I've read the history of The Toggle. They were experimental from start to finish. When all the Beta Testing was done, and the results considered that information was used to build Model #195 - the Fat Boy. Toggles are interesting, and don't get me wrong, I'd like to own one, but knowing their history & seeing the prices... I like my ($5.00 at an antique store ) Fatty.

 

So, you've assessed the value at... less than $5?

 

Not "replacement value". It's a relative thing though. For folks that can afford to invest in a NOS cased unit I'd expect the "value" to be about what they pay for theirs. If I found a beat up, damaged plating, stuck adjuster Toggle without a case I don't think I'd pass it up for a five spot. There's too much potential resale value, after repairs were done.

 

I think back at all the Fat Boys, Slims, Toggles, and Schick Automatics (A,B,C) I've had in my hands and thought were just junk; it could make me sick. But I remember ... I once was blind, but know I see .....

 

Huge disappointment upon opening the package. The safety bar on one side is visibly bent. Waiting to here from the vendor with return instructions.

 

My camera hates doing close-ups, but you can see what I see.

 

yep....

 

Waiting (now) for Simichrome, a box with a 40's SS, flare SS, and OLD, a Rolls-Razor set with no handle, but a good hone and blade, and a Ronson Safety Razor....

 

Soap commander commitment soap and aftershave balm
Reef Point Test Depth soap and aftershave balm
100 astra ss blades

 

That's a chunky beast of a razor. Shame it doesn't use DE blades.

 

Ronson are so classy looking, pity they use proprietary blades. Very cool looking razor though.

 

I sent back a scalloped base plate to Timeless and I am awaiting the exchange for a straight bar. I find it looks so nice on the scalloped top cap.
