Hello! I had a first shave with a Gillette NEW LC this morning for the first time and am impressed with how it shaved, despite the irritation I caused myself due to the light weight of the razor (pressed down a bit). I was looking into some options to make it heavier and remembered that the iKon B1 Open comb deluxe has a very similar design with the NEW LC.
My question is...are the shaves comparable with each other? If this were a very close "heavier" option, my RAD is going to flare up.

Thank you in advance.

The Ikon B1 OC Deluxe more closely mirrors the shave of a Gillette New Deluxe. I find both the Ikon B1 OC Deluxe and the Gillette New Deluxe to be smoother and more efficient than the New LC.

Thank you! That response was something better than what I wanted to hear. Time to look for one now Big Grin.

I found the Ikon B1 to be about 90% of my Wolfman OC head. With some of my other razors, I don't use it very much but I do enjoy it when it comes up.

I like them both, the New Deluxe and the New LC. However, the New LC coupled with a heavy handle is one of my favorite razors. I find it smoother than the New Deluxe and Ikon's version as well. Go to Maggard's and buy one of their weightier handles and give it a try. I also found the New LC's normally supplied handle to be a dud.
