That does look lovely. I've always liked the look of the iKon Slant head, and it looks better in that coating.
Unfortunately, I also never liked the shave of the iKon Slant. It was just not effective for me. If he is able to make the slant more efficient, then I'd be in the market for one of these. If the head is otherwise the same as the original iKon slant, even this lovely coating will not tempt me to buy it.

I, too, did not enjoy the Slant.
I don't want to get too off topic, but just because I'm curious, did you two like the merkur slant? I loved the merkur 37c so sold it and bought the ikon slant and they seem nothing alike from the couple times I've used the ikon slant. I wish I could have just weighted down he 37c somehow.

I just noticed as Ikon has been reorganizing their FB Page the announcement for the DBC Black head was posted for June 2014.

Yep, I like the Merkur Slant. I have one with a custom handle from Elite Razors, and that's one of my favourite shavers. I also have a Fasan Double Slant that I use a lot.
I prefer my razors to be lighter and more maneuverable.

* No, I neither enjoyed the Merkurs 37C nor the 39C.

Thanks, Jerry!
