Ikon “Tech”

Are they making these anymore?

They're only made for the military as weapons of mass destruction...

I'd be interested in knowing this also. For some reason, it seems many of my favorite modern razors are becoming extinct. The Ikon Tech, R41 2011, PAA DOC Evolution, for example, and others are simply hard to get, such as the Charcoal Goods Level 3 open comb.

I'm not sure if it's made anymore but when I was looking for mine ~6-8 months ago, the only place I could find it was Fendrihan in Canada. At the time, they were selling either the head only or a full razor. I can't find the head only any longer. I think this might be the tech with a handle: https://www.fendrihan.ca/products/ikon-s...boo-handle

indeed they do! for a good price, too! Looks like $37.33 shipped to the USA at the time of me writing this. I paid $50 for mine.

I must have gotten one of the last on the Ikon website as it was only about 3 months ago when I got the head only as I had a Ikon Bulldog handle already. I find it more efficient or as some would say more aggressive than the current R41 and not quite as smooth.

http://connaughtshaving.com/sec104h.html They have some with Blemishes left which I'm sure are minor and won't affect the shave quality.

I'm the opposite. I find my ikon tech to be slightly smoother than my R41.

I will venture a guess. The production of iKon razors seems slightly sporadic. Recently, they brought back some stainless steel razors that I thought were gone for good, as they had been sold out for months.

So my hope is that the ShaveCraft 104 Tech hasn’t been discontinued, but is merely in the process of awaiting a new production batch. I say that, because it’s one of my favorite razors. Like Andrew, I also find it smoother than the (2013) Mühle R41.

I don't own a Tech or a R41 (2013) but I'm interested in both of them. My most aggressive razor is a Fatip Piccolo. To me it shaves smooth, efficient, and it's fairly aggressive. Can someone say how the piccolo compares with the tech & R41 in terms of efficiency, aggressiveness, and smoothness? Thanks, any help is appreciated!



Happy Shaving!
