GIVEAWAY! PIF: iKon Tek (CONUS, 100 post requirement, ends 11/24/2021)

[Eben Stone]

I'm giving away my iKon Tek.

About the razor:

The Tek is an ultra aggressive razor. If you like blade feel this delivers. IMO, it is noticeably more aggressive than the Mühle R41. Another member described this razor like a straight razor but with a 90° handle. I would agree.

IMO, the razor is in like new condition. I purchased it new sometime last year. Approx 80 shaves. There is a slight blade alignment problem. You should inspect the blade alignment after loading.

My best results were achieved using Dorco ST301, Nacet, and London Bridge. You might consider starting with a blade well known for its smoothness rather than it's sharpness. I've used Feather blades and didn't have any problems, but I wouldn't recommend this for your first shave with it.

About this PIF:

CONUS only as I am paying shipping.

100 post requirement. I have my reasons.

I will end the PIF sometime (at my whim) on Wednesday, 11/24, and pick the winner using random.org.

I will mail the razor on Friday, 11/26, assuming I've already received the winner's address.

If you have any questions please ask.

If you're in then please indicate with "I'm in"

Very generous. This would be the super pefect second razor to go with my very mild. I could test blades and have two stands.
