Plisson, iKon, and Irisch Moos
I thought I should feature my fine Plisson Chinese Grey: The Wife brought me this from her previous Paris trip. She’s there now, and today went to the big Hermès sale. Probably no shaving equipment there, though.
At any rate the Plisson brought up loads of lovely lather, and the iKon did its usual superb job: close, comfortable, and nick-free. I see that Greg has raised the prices to match the Feather stainless razor, which I think is justified: Greg’s razors are made on CNC machines, and each of those comb teeth is made separately: no casting here.
A splash of Irisch Moos, and I’m running a bit late.
Is the Ikon your favorite razor ? And have you used the new Edwin Jagger… And if you have,,what do you think of them?

I don’t have a single favorite, but rather a short list, but the iKon is definitely on that list and the only reason I am not recommending it as the standard beginner razor is the price. (What I am recommending is one of the Edwin Jagger DE8x lin—that will be in the next edition.)
Yes, I’ve used the new EJ head and I like it a lot. For me, though, the iKon does a better job all round. Plus the iKon is always going to be somewhat rare and special.

I thought it was just the Ikon All Stainless that was so expensive. The alloy one should still be cheaper unless he stopped production to increase profits (smart businessman… wink).

I don’t know about an alloy iKon. Do you have a link?
