Emboldened by some discussion on aggressive razors, I took out my Ikon Shavecraft aluminium Tech head and stainless bamboo handle, and stuck a new Derby Premium in it.
Normally, I fight shy of this razor, as it has a tendency to bite me. This morning, I got up a nice, thick Don Marco lather, and away I went. Two passes were just dandy, but then I thought I'd touch up a missed bit. The claret flowed, the air was blue for miles around, and the styptic (an Italian Pratico Stick-highly recommended) came into play.
Out of interest, has anyone who owns this razor managed to use it regularly without some sort of mishap; and, if so, what's the secret?
