The lkon thread

When you go to their site to buy a razor it kicks you over the the Amazon store. It says this on the front page.

We are temporarily out of stock for full razors. Next batch will be ready around the middle of April.

Guess I will have to wait a week or so.

Or, order the iKon now and the Weber in mid April. Problem solved. At least that's how I rationalize decisions like this.....

Oh dear, that means too many people are ordering them and the price is likely to go up. I'm going to start telling everyone that Weber razors suck.

Strangely, this has a certain logic I can identify with. Hmmmmmmmmmm, what would one do in a situation like this?

 

[nuclearblast]

Yup ... buying both seems to be the solution for every problem ... here at B&B at least!

weber.com and order your razor.

I see what your talking about. His Weber Razor business must be booming. I ordered mine a few months ago directly from his website. They were never available on Amazon. He say's more will be available in the middle of April.

Just tried the iKon SB with a EJ chrome handle this morning. Fantastic shave. I used a SI blade (not brand new) and got very good results with just one pass.

My two favorite DE's are the Weber PH and the Ikon Shavecraft 101. To me they both are pretty similar, but I lean toward the Ikon just slightly. The SC101 is an aluminum head through, not stainless.

I hope this clears up some confusion. If you go directly to Amazon, you get handles only listed. Go directly to Weber website to purchase; when you click on "purchase" it kicks you over to "Amazon Webstore". Amazon and Amazon Webstore are 2 different things.

This is hands down the best modem razor I have added to my stash. It feels mild on my face but it's very efficient. I would place it in the mid aggressiveness category. It gives me bbs shaves evey single time.

+1

Have you considered a Weber. Great reviews and fantastic shaver for safety bar razor.

The SC101 was a good shaver but I ended up liking the Weber PH better.

 

[something better]

I have made that decision twice and chose the Weber handle both times.

I am not a fan of Greg or Ikon razors and refuse to send even a dime his way.

wow thanks for the info. found this in another thread http://badgerandblade.com/vb/archive/index.php/t-279175.html

I have the iKon slant head with a weber handle. Go for the weber, it is simply amazing, excellent heft and it's beautiful... In addition, the customer service from Ed is perfect and you'll have it delivered in 2 business days in CONUS

 

[ERVARGASNY]

I love my Weber Handles, All 5 of them. When ever you have a problem with Weber they are quick to help out and send out a replacement,
But Ikon on the other hand /

From what I have heard and read a while back, Ikon/Greg isn't to good on getting returns, Usually says IKon't Help you LOL

Maybe since he is selling to vendors now he doesn't have to deal with people and customer service is better? Maybe and I said Maybe /

 

[jagardn]

I like smooth, but when you guys say mild, are you able to achieve BBS with it? And in how many passes?

I get an awesome 2 pass shave with mine using Astra, 7 o'clock yellow, and GSB's.
It's a very nice DE. I use it more than any of my other 4.

I use the OC on the first pass and the SB on the 2nd.

 

[01HDFXD]

Yes. 2 passes on face, 3 in neck & jaw line. Mostly OC.

Ikon Bulldog 2 user here. Love it! And I actually really dig the skull logo. I feel like a 1%er when I use it.

 

[BigPick]

Is the bulldog sold by many approved B&B vendors a Weber product ?

it's only $32 and looks quite swank
