It's been ok. I've only had 3 shaves with it so the brass still looks like new. The adjuster is good, nice and firm, but I think there might be a sliced finger or two when adjusting it with wet or soapy hands. The range in the adjustments from 1-9 is great. Even moving it up half a notch, you can feel the change in the shave which is the exact way it shoukd work with an adjustable. Also, the balance of the razor can be changed if the brass is removed.How have you got on with this? - curious as to whether it is awkward or not dealing with the brass weight for cleaning and loosening/tightening for adjustment.
Nice one, thank you. The method to adjust does seem to invite blood loss, though it's an interesting looking one.It's been ok. I've only had 3 shaves with it so the brass still looks like new.

Hi Can you tell us a bit about this Dutch soap?Thursday 21 September
Ikon B1 Slant
Croma Diamant 3rd use
Alpha 400 synthetic
De Vergulde Hand soap
I have a Shield titanium handle as a spare and fitted it to the Ikon, it’s lighter and more manageable than the original handle and I would recommend it. 2 passes plus pick ups for bbs finish this morning. Now to look forward to Autumn
Have a great evening fellas!
