Get it right & it is the best razor I have used.
I hear that Ikon razors are close too hard to use.

It's not wrong KRF, just different. Won't do any harm learning with an "aggressive" razor, you'll learn quickly.

Cheers Antdad, I am enjoying shaving with the Portable so you may be right. I am a tad worried about the open comb vintage Gillette as they look a tad scary to the uninitiated.
Should be a couple of weeks before it arrives from the US so time to practice with my current setup!

Just out of curiosity, what does the open comb add/change in a razor?
Cheers

There's no guard bar so the blade can get to longer hair.
