iKon Standard: I find it more efficient than R41, but with the better blade support I don't sense the same harshness.



When doing a side by side with the iKon Tech, the iKon Standard was smoother, but did not take a hit in efficiency compared to the Tech. I still like the Tech when I feel like wrestling with a beast, but prefer the results of the the iKon Standard.



I did not like the R41. I appreciate blade flex on milder razors, thinking it improves efficiency, but if the razor has more than a little exposure, flex gets out of hand real fast for me (I think it is a coarse hair thing - both the significant improvement in effieciency and having the flex ge out of hand fast).
