My iKon Tech head arrived today, so I had to test it.
I was hoping to fit my Knockout Bakelite handle to it, but no joy. In fact none of my handles (including a couple of Gillettes) would fit… barring my Maggard Travel handle, so that’s what’s on it now (I’ve ordered a Maggard MR11 for it).
Please accept my apologies in advance for my questionable smartphone photos (more to do with the operator than the smartphone).
Here it is broken down (showing both sides):
Here are a few measurements for the geeks out there (in grams g and millimeters mm):

Blade exposure:
Our first shave, iKon Tech and me:
What a lovely smooth shave. On first impressions this is a very efficient razor which I liked straight away.
First shave BBS. I intend using the iKon Tech for a while to get it dialed in so I’ll report back in about a week.
FOOTNOTE:
A big “thank you” to all the “aggressive razor” freaks out there that made me crave one of these (you know who you are ).
