There are three iKons like that, SK9, OSS and H20. Not sure about other mfgs.

Anyone have a 2011 Semogue LE Badger, and also own any of the following in 2 band and can comment on how they compare. - Simpsons - Thater - TGN - M&F Hi Moe, I have several brushes I would describe as "scritchy" (but all in a good way) Rooney Finest > TGN finest > Simpsons 2 band >>>...

just noticed some "scratch & dent" OSS razors up on Bullgoose. the ones sold at IB and BG are both flawed (underside) and now there are more with scratches on the tops of the heads. were there any that were cosmetically fine, or are the entire run of OSS razors flawed? also, are the o...

I'm a few shares into mine now and liking it better every day. Coming from an H20 the transition was simple as they are similar in many ways.

Glad you're enjoying yours!

If you had to pick just the OSS or the Feather, which would it be? I'm trying to make that decision. Thanks! Hi Mike, for my preferences, it would be the OSS hands down. The Feather had already been relegated to "travel" status after the H20 and the OSS may just be a tiny bit better yet. ...

Ken, As I recall you also have a Feather All Stainless, which you have praised. How does this compare? How does it stack up against your iKon H2O? Thanks! Both true. Much more aggressive and effect than the Feather (which I still do love) Very similar in many ways to the H20, balanced more to the h...

if someone chooses to own an iKon what is paramount is they are happy with their purchase. Greg, I currently own two. A modern and an H20. Both are outstanding razors and they do make me happy, so, well done! Of the two, my preference is or the H20. I love the dual head and I find the balance bette...

I've always wanted to try a Simpson, but I'm just concerened that it will be similar to my old Rooney (too dense). Thanks again for all the advice. Steve, Simpsons make great brushes and somewhere in that vast lineup, you'll find one with the right density for you (they have most everything covered...

There's also a Semogue 2010LE. (whenever that forum is back up) One of the best small brushes I've ever owned. And at a good price.

Who knows? To me, it would be pretty lame to be making counterfeits of brushes that aren't much to begin with. Not sure about that Gordon. At one point AOS was selling Plissons (no idea what they are selling these days), which are pretty well regarded. I'm not saying they aren't overpriced, but &qu...

What a razor! And heavy. 136g. It's a tank and makes my Feather AS feel like a toy. Butter smooth shave too. Sweet!
