Review on Ikon X3 Bulldog Handle Slant Head Razor by Kristen Narvaez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

but my x3 has very poor blade alignment resulting in an uneven shave without proper attention. See Edit for more information.

Edit - I've upgraded it to 4 stars now. An extra star because the seller communicated well with me and offered a refund if I wasn't satisfied, and another star because I found a way to really make the razor work for me. It still has a lot of play but when I move the blade all the way to the side and use it for passes of this shave it becomes more efficient and aggressive and works quite well. Then I detach the top and slide the blade out so it sticks out further on the other side and use that side for my next shave. There is definitely room for improvement in the design, but using it the way I do is a better razor. I've used so far, although admittedly I've only used one or two of the others. I plan to use it this way for a long time, so the design flaw/extra blade tilt worked in my favor. My experience doesn't seem typical of what many people say online, but my x3 has very poor blade alignment causing an uneven shave, while many online users don't report such issues with theirs. I have to straighten the blade with my fingernail and then tighten it or the blade will end up in a crooked position. As a result, it is largely straight, but there are deviations in its alignment from blade change to blade change. If you read online you won't know how this angled razor was constructed and of course the blade should line up with the top cap. I work with a seller and they seem very keen to help me. I'll update the star rating if/when I have an example that works as intended. The Bulldog grip is nice and sturdy but I definitely recommend it.
