Ahh, [assuming its a 1.6 DLD diesel of the PSA ilk] but your Ford will grenade its engine far more effectively and spectacularly than the Jaguar when the turbo seals let go.Lose the beard said:I have a Diesel Ford Focus estate,
I also have a 3.0 Litre Petrol Jag X-Type. Does it do anything better than the Focus?
Perished said:Interesting thread. Can't say I've tried an ikon, but reading some of the views on here, I'd give it a go. when i first got into wet shaving, and only visited one wet shaving community site, B&B, ikon was/is a dirty word. I suppose that's why i've held off from buying one.
dodgy said:missingskin said:Think you are missing the point here, anyone buying a high end razor like a Pils. Feather AS-D1,or Ikon is because they want one not because they need one. I doubt they think it will shave 5 or 10 times better than a £30.00 Merkur. I own 3 Ikons none were bought because I thought they they would shave £ per £ better against a cheaper razor, I bought them because I wanted too. We all have different reasons for buying razors, but if you are asking if it will be 5 times better then a Merkur/Muhle then the answer is no.
The joy of this shaving lark is we all are different and choose to spend our cash on what we want to and shave with what we want to it would be a fecking boring life otherwise?
What's goin on ditzyhunk,
That is a pretty darn good answer.....sums things up nicely.

pedro083 said:For my money I would no buy a ikon as said by others just basically a clone of other razors, yeah there stainless and shiney but not worth the premium he tries to charge now for them.
They also can by no means be described as handmade. They will be machined and made like every other razor electronic lathe and CNC machined.

I might be at that stage now. I've been getting great shaves with a Flare-tipped Rocket and a Tech for the last few weeks and I'm sorely tempted to have a clear out.
