I think if I didn’t have a Wunderbar already, I would probably go down the Superslant rabbit hole of multiple head options. But for the money, still hard to beat that iKon B1.
Yup. Sad Ikon developed the reputation it did. It had a winner with the B1 slant. Once you found the right blade and how to align it parallel to the cap it was amazing.I think if I didn’t have a Wunderbar already, I would probably go down the Superslant rabbit hole of multiple head options.

Yes, the handles are the same quality for the Wunderbar & G37. The HD handle gives off that classic Merkur look for the G37, but I really like the barberpole for the Wunderbar. Yes, the price diff is in the head (Stainless steel vs zinc alloy). You can also go with the iKon B1 slant for $65 at Maggard (Pictured with the bulldog handle). To me it’s just about identical to the Wunderbar, but DLC coated stainless steel. The Super Knurl is a nice handle if you like longer handles, (90mm). RR also has a nice razor stand.

Ikons reputation was more bad business practices and poor image management.I had seen the Ikon also.. I'd noticed it on Maggards a number of times. I don't know much about Ikon. I see another post mentioning their reputation.
Thanks again for all your help! Much appreciated!
