Well on today’s Shave the Ikon X3 Slant Didn’t Make the cut into My Shave Den. Way toooooo Mild for Me.
So at some point it will be Sold or Traded. Finished up my Shave with the R41. So it Turned out Great.

Interesting result with the x3! I felt it was mild but cut unnecessarily rough to justify keeping it. Often felt like it was scraping no matter what blade was used.
 
Received my DSCOSMETIC ZO 316L
From AliExpress it’s the Chinese Stab at the R41. My Thought’s are not as smooth as the R41 but definitely just as Aggressive Err/Efficient. My Favorite blade in the R41 is a Wilkinson sword Saloon. Put the Same blade ( New ) in the DSCOSMETIC ZO
Was Definitely Not as Smooth but I did get a great shave. No Nicks or cuts or
Irritation.
Got a Great Shave with it this Morning.
3 passes BBS THE handle is Balanced well. Finishing is good. No problem with Blade Alinement. It is a heavy razor. I Really like the Handle nice and Grippy and Heavy.

Since I’m doing the Tabactober thing all month long that’s the Soap I’m using all Month. I love Tabac.

I am switching up on the Aftershaves seeing which ones pair good with it.

I hope all this Made a little sense.

Just out of the Shave Den. I actually got a Really Great shave out of the Quad Razor.
3 passes BBS no Irritation No sting when I used the Alum-block.
I definitely had to watch the Angle as the top of the razor is kinda pointed and at a slant.
