Well now...not for long Sir!I imagine empty based on your posts
Letās march on with the OCs and today after much deliberation (never mind) the job fell to the iKon Deluxe OC matched to an iKon Bulldog handle. First impressions are excellent fit and finish and weighty. The OC teeth are a little sharp but nothing that a quick adjustment didnāt rectify. Loaded up with a Personna Platinum and this stout baby did the job quite well.
Soap of the day was Stirling Weekend in Malibu and quite an enjoyable scent it is. Wish list? A menthol version would be awesome!
Lovely two pass DFS bordering on BBS. Great shaver this iKon Deluxe OC I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a Stainless Steel take on the venerable New Deluxe. Take care all and happy shaves.

Nice shave Ed
It isnāt the B1 stuff obviously it is the earlier matt finished coating. I want to say it looks like the shavecraft stuff but I honestly canāt say but it has teeth for sure but a quick adjustment to the shaving angle and it was quite enjoyable.
So not really an OC but a hybrid and a great razor. I have heard discussions on how the Muhle R41 is a great razor but made even more so with the addition of an aftermarket handle etc. Now I love my stock R41 and as I have mentioned before, it was my second ever DE after the EJ DE89lbl which incidentally, I still have and use. I am glad I spent some time getting to know and use it because it really helped my technique. Today I decided to see what the hype was all about and decided to use my newly acquired iKon bulldog handle with it. Well now the hypes is true! The extra weight of the iKon Handle made it an absolute dream.
Soap of the day was Amici by Italian Barber and a great summer citrus scent it is. Lovely soap to say the least. Great performer. Chubby 1 had no issues whipping up a great lather. Proceeded through a wonderful two pass DFS bordering BBS shave! Topped it off with the matching Amici AS splash and English Laundry Tahitian Waters EDP. Take care and happy shaves all!
