IKON for X-Mas? Really?

I'd pass just based on their response to the guy who asked the price.

What was the response?

How much does greatness cost. Or something like that. It's in the link in the opening post.

I was hoping someone would mention something about the rest of the Ikon lines of razors.
I have been waiting for the Tech to re-appear in mass.
I would prefer to wait until then instead of buying one used at a fairly inflated price while I still can.

On a new note, Ikon just stocked on their website the new MR-SE "El Jefe" re-do. An updated version if you will that corrected the previous head issues. Only 16 in stock last I checked.......

Couple of pics and brief description.....

New Version ~ Modern Razors Single Edge Razor Head – (Corrected El Jefe Redo – es muy bueno)

ONLY 5 LEFT.....

On the material — I believe all ShaveCraft razor heads are made out of aircraft grade aluminum. I’ve had a few, and they were quite good.

The SBS seems to be a somewhat legendary design (I’m not sure whether iKon or Tradere came up with the original concept — someone jog my mind). I’m waiting to see what the “price of greatness” turns out to be, and what the reception to this iteration will be.

Not all aluminum.

Not all aluminum.

Thanks, I wasn’t 100% sure about that matter.

The price is $30. I was a fan of the PILs and the price is right, regardless of the crap..

Sometimes I can blow through the crap, sometimes I can’t. Today is a “can do” day so I grabbed one.

”Can do” day for me, as well. I feel like I’ve already found the razor for me, and I’ve had three other iKon ShaveCraft razors, all of which I’ve sold. Yet there’s something so fascinating about the SBS design, that I guess I just couldn’t resist…

Just received the new, revised El Jefe head dubbed the MR-SE. Couple pics below to show the difference between the 1st gen to the 2nd gen. Better tolerance and tighter fitment for the blade post and blade post holes. Next up a shave. I feel though that the blade still has a minute amount of play, not as severe as the first one, but it's there.
Sorry for the bad pics gents.......

MR-SE on left, original El Jefe on right......

Tighter tolerance, but still not a precisely perfect fit on the blade posts......

Much less play once assembled.....

Even blade exposure and dead on alignment along the length of the safety bar.......


As I said, a shave coming right up....
