Father Ted: Is that a rusty top plate I see there? Just close to the screw thread area?

It was from the blade. I dont know if its electrolytic reaction or what, but Yellow blades reacted badly with that first iKon (I havent tried them in this one yet) - all others were fine.Canuck said:Father Ted: Is that a rusty top plate I see there? Just close to the screw thread area?

I have an open comb iKon Bulldog and it's a great razor. I think it was worth the money I paid for it at the time (about £60), but I don't think it's woth the money that they sometimes go for now. If I'm honest, I prefer my Feather AS-D1, which cost about £120 at the time I got that.
If you're after a small-volume production stainless razor, you could do a lot worse than try the Weber razor. I have one and have been using it pretty much exclusively for the last few weeks - it cost about £42 including postage from the US to the UK. There was a minor flaw in the head of the razor I received, but a quick email to Ed at Weber Razors had a new comb winging its way across the Atlantic to me. Weber's customer service is first-rate. It gives a nice close, easy shave - great for work-day mornings when I want a quick, easy-going shave to ease me into the day.
I ought to get the iKon out for a play though...
