Good gosh, this is an aggressive razor! I've always had respect for the Mühle R41, and have enjoyed my shaves with it. But this Ikon Tech felt even more aggressive to me-lots of blade feel. To me, it felt less 'smooth' than the Mühle-not a rough shave by any means, but not the smoothest either.
I used a new Feather blade, and after a few strokes my shaving sense kicked in, and sent the message to my hands to go slow. The shave felt extremely close, a BBS that feels like it will last for a couple of days. However, this may be the most 'dangerous' razor I've used. Looking forward to using it more, but not for a few days!
I'm a buyer if you're going to move it.
I'll let you know after a couple of more shaves.
I've been pressing hard on my cheeks against the grain, and I can't feel anything 4 hours later. It might be worth the 'danger' if it continues to produce these results.
All the best,
