- iKon X3 Slant Razor & iKon Bulldog Handle
This is an ultra-high quality double edge safety razor manufactured by iKon in the USA. The closed comb slant head is precision machined from aircraft grade aluminium. The slant head torques the blade so that it sits at an angle. This creates a slicing action (similar to a scythe or a guillotine). Slant head razors are excellent for tough beards, and super clean shaves.
The 'Bulldog' handle is precision machined from 316L stainless steel (no plating or coating needed). The diamond pattern knurling provides excellent grip even with soapy or wet hands.
Not overly aggressive, this slant head razor that is great for beginners and experienced shavers alike. This razor is built to last - with due care will be passed down through generations of happy users.

How to use:
Shaving with a safety razor requires a little practice. The skin also needs some time to grow accustomed to the shave. Getting started will be easier if you follow these instructions:
Moisten the beard area, preferably with warm water, and lather it thoroughly with a brush. The longer you lather the beard, the more easily and gently the hairs can be cut. If possible, use a highly effective moisturising shaving cream or soap as this will allow the blade to slide over the skin more easily. Make sure that the shaving head and handle are firmly attached to each other, but only tighten the screw to the extent that it can be unscrewed without too much effort. This ensures that the blade rests at the correct angle. Now begin with the shave. Hold the safety razor at an obtuse angle (approx. 30°) to the skin. Start with the cheeks and allow the razor to slide over the skin, applying gentle pressure. Always shave in the direction of the beard growth (with the grain). When shaving the neck, stretch the skin tight with your free hand. Do not be discouraged by small cuts or grazes. Once you have familiarised yourself with the razor, they will rarely occur.
(NB. Do not over-tighten the head. This will compromise the perfect blade angle)
