Ikon Shavecraft X3 Slant head

Yep, more a matter of unlearning bad habits acquired using cartridge razors and cheap goo on inadequately prepped skin and whisker growth!

I found there was good audible feedback from the X3, so whilst I couldn't feel it cutting I could certainly hear it.
 
I mentioned earlier that I have a Razorock V4 Stealth slant, which I compared with the X3.

I can normally get along with any DE or SE razor, but some are head and shoulders above others. Whilst the V4 isn't a bad razor, I've been a little disappointed with it; especially considering the hoops to jump through to buy it. However, I put a Rubie blade in it a couple of days ago, and for some reason it came alive. A case of "perseverance pays off", I suppose.
 

Good for you man. I've always been curious about the v4, glad it can also shine when given the right blade. I heard the v2 is pretty aggressive.
