Would be interesting to see Greg's take on a Cobra Classic.
I like the Cobra, but would appreciate a razor that could accept Feather AC blades, but with a round, knurled handle.
Though, since you need a spring-loaded clip to hold the head closed, perhaps a mix between a Cobra Classic and a Schick injector head would be more likely to work.

The Cobra doesn't use a spring loaded clip to hold the blade. It uses a simple hinge system. It would be nice to see an iKon type Cobra made out of stainless steel with a rounded knurled handle.

I approached Greg with this idea and at the time, he was not interested. Who knows though...he may be interested down the road. I think he may be reluctant to produce a razor with limited blade options and that is a sub-niche razor.
I do think it would be an excellent razor if he ever does decide to make it.

I look forward to its release!

Gentlemen:
I like this iKon. It's a closed comb, I assume. I wanted to acquire the original closed comb Bulldog — at least I assume it was the Bulldog — but by the time I woke up the model was retired. Now this. I look forward to it's launching. Slantman, thank you for the information and the photo on the razor.

If this razor comes in stainless with no plating of any kind, I am in trouble. I have no idea how I could explain this purchase to my wife. It seems that the old and immature "easier to ask forgiveness than permission" would be in order.
Any ideas?
If it is plated, phew, not interested.

Then when she tells you, you are crazy and she'll cut herself, tell her it is non-returnable and bingo.

Both are iKon prototypes in the above image.
Below pic shows how the head is lengthened to cover the blade tabs.
Actual production will have the handle thicker and longer , more along the lines of the classic iKon bulldog design.
2 Piece spindle type of assembly on this model.
