The construction of the Rex is beautiful, the grip on the handle is unmatched.

[@0r_1x]

Great review. I think I might be finally all caught up on your videos. You've been a HUGE help as I am getting started in wetshaving.

[@donaldvanwinkle1143]

Hi Matt. Always looking for a great new product. I did stop by your location last year and picked up my favorites. Just about ready for a restock.

[@BarbaTradicional]

Hey Matt! Good job on the pronunciation! Looking forward to trying that soap!

[@trevorhirst5096]

i know you've done vids on how to prevent ingrown hairs and such- it may sound gross, but could you do an informational on how to remove ingrown hairs, etc? Could be some products to use ..

[@fhalden]

I have the 3ONE6 and the Envoy. I find that the Envoy has more blade feel and is more efficient. I love them both!

[@Bob-Horse]

I have the same 3One6 and I love it, best razor I have ever used.

[@johnjanzen5856]

Hey Matt, I spotted the Musgo line the last time at your shop. It’s at the top of my list of creams to try. I just need to clean out some space for it. The orange tube had a really nice scent. Thanks also for the razor comparisons.

[@MrsGCMS]

Quality is core! I can’t wait to put my hands on an Ambassador and an Envoy! Keep it up!

[@erniefay8644]

I love the Envoy. One of the top razors in my collection. Always in my weekly rotation.

[@BA-hk3ct]

Just found your channel. I've been a double edge and single edge shaver for years. I enjoyed the way your video was done very much

[@wetshavingwithangelo]

Hey Matt, awesome shave. The Rex Envoy is my favorite non adjustable stainless steel razor I own. It’s an excellent razor.

[@DrRonP]

Hi Matt! I don’t have an Envoy but the Ambassador is my #1 go to, favorite, shaves better than my WR2, razor! Keep doing what you do!

[@jamierees9226]

Great demonstration- I own both the ambassador and the 3one6 and love them both 👍🏼

[@jerrydonathan9979]

Nice video Matt, hey my L2 Slim arrived and wow you did a great job on it, shaves like new, I'm going to send you 2 or three more Slims .

[@mattfox8436]

Great video Matt. I’ve used the 3ONE6 a bit and found irritation (my fault) but I’m only 6 months in so working on my technique. I’ve found success with Douglas’ hardware recently. Looking forward to getting back to my 3ONE6 some day. I liked the feel of that razor for sure.

[@toddf9321]

Hi Matt! Thank you for these types of videos. I bought the EJ 3ONE6 and the Rex Envoy from you, both are great. I prefer the Envoy over the 3ONE6 in general due to its efficiency. In my opinion, the biggest difference is found ATG. The Rex seems to have a good amount of blade rigidity. No so with the 3ONE6, the blade flexes and I get nicks. Just my experience there. Musgo Real...yes please. I want to try that product!

[@nate4shave]

Great comparison between three of those de’s , hope you have great weekend

[@myblueskynight]

Great comparison video Matt!👍👍👍

[@MrThejoe85]

I have the Envoy and love it! Amazing quality!

[@LEgoiste]

On my radar too, for the colourful packaging alone. Has that retro vibe which will make any den look cool. Have a look at 444 products from Portugal, great products and packaging too.

[@bryanread4076]

Fantastic shave Matt the Envoy is my go to razor I love it

[@yourelame7116]

I love this channel. I love your review style. But it is so funny to watch you lather all the way to your chest! Stay blessed! The Envoy is quality.💯

[@rosgr63]

Great review, nice products, thank you!

[@jayaruh47]

Nice shave there. I like the Musgo Real Soap. I must give the cream a try.

[@keithosmond5730]

All three are on my "wish list" - part of my RAD. So nice to see them reviewed. People tend to talk about razors in terms of whether they are more or less aggressive than the 34C (I guess because so many people own one) - how would these compare? I haven't had my 34C all that long, but with the blades I've tried so far it's easily the mildest of the razors I own - and unless I hit on a better blade pairing, too mild for my taste. So if these are milder than the 34C I might reconsider their place on my wish list.

[@terrym1065]

Matt💈💈 Nice shave. I have the Envoy, premium shaver. Had the 3ONE6 but gifted to my son, maybe should have kept it. Musgo Real I've wanted to try for ever, just never have. Something about "old school" products, maybe my age...😮 Thanks bro. Enjoy!

[@goldcopf]

Hi Matt! Amazing comparison! Hope to get my Rex Ambassador soon!)

[@gregorylawrence7262]

My Envoy is the king of my shaving cabinet. It even overrules my Rockwell Model T, Baxter of California, Bevel, and Gillette Heritage. It's a feel and shave that cannot be matched. This coming from a fella with coarse hair that has to shave every other day.

[@spikeg.jr.4893]

I do love classic scents!

[@wetshavingwithangelo]

I’ve found the Parker 87R was very rough to shave with. I eventually PIFed it a while back.

[@bradleycred99]

Howdy Matt! I love my Rex A! ❤️ Does Musgo have any unscented/fragrance free options?

[@magnoliamike]

I always had my eye on the 87R it’s a beautiful razor

[@patrickkeating5329]

I had it and didn’t like it. Found the short handle and TTO. Felt as though it could loosen up easily. More expensive, but the Rex is my fav razor these days. I will say, the 87R is a good looking razor.

[@magnoliamike]

@@patrickkeating5329 mine seems like when you’re taking it all the way it’s like super glue it on there lol

[@jensebu78]

I love the design of the Envoy the most (of that 3 at least ;-) ) Some guy made me an offer to the Rex Ambassador. Not THAT good offer but you know the RAID 😜. So i bought the Ambassador and i love it! Great razor. Smooth and really efficient. One of my best razors. And a beauty for sure :-)

[@jmanwill]

Great videos!

[@DragonBlue68]

Another shave soap to add to my list...lol Been trying to get my younger brother into wet shaving, but he is still skeptical about the whole thing. I may have to put together a starter set for his birthday:-)

[@fayizd654]

Great comparison!

[@pumpkin91ful]

Valobra,Musgo and almond soap the smell of classic.

[@wolfsniper6mmrobinson983]

Great video would the Parker 87 be as mild as the merkue 34C thanks

[@forumanomaly]

Don't have an Envoy (but do have an Ambassador), don't have an 87 (but have 4 other Parker butterflies, 22R, 95R, 96R, 99R) but do have a 3ONE6 (two of them in fact, one the all stainless shown in this video, the other the blue Aluminium handled version). The 3ONE6 is good razor (it's actually metal injection moulded, though I guess that is a kind of casting), generally get nice close shaves with it. The Ambassador is a very nice looking razor, very well made, knurling is superb, but I just haven't ever been able to get an easy, close shave with it for unknown reasons (oh well, it happens). I do like the Parker butterflies, but they are a little on the mild side for me - I tend to have to go over areas enough to cause irritation afterwards.

[@InArcadiaSum]

Ditto the 3ONE6-same combination here - stainless and blue handles.

[@trueblu8]

I want that Musgo Real!

[@michaeldamisch1367]

Cool pronunciation and nice comparison 🪒🧼💈

[@JMendez97]

Musgo Real is awesome! 👍

[@anderslarsson8182]

I came, I watch, I liked and now I'll get the t-shirt :)

Any chance of a Rex Sovereign shave? As a proud owner I’d love to see you use and discuss it. It doesn’t get as much love as it deserves I think.

[@RazorEmporium]

Yes soon!

[@rajansharmaadv]

I have EDWIN JAGGER 316 with a silver colored aluminium handle, I get nice shave with it always but I have to be careful with it while shaving as this is deceptively aggressive, I don't have Envoy and 87r, but for me the most comfortable and the most used razor is one and the only MERKUR 37C 👍👍👍

[@jpgc83]

Im very interest on musgo real... looks that leather very well

[@rajeshsweet194]

Razors till 30-40 Dollar range have threading issues. Maybe due to top cap screw and handle being of different metals or alloys. Friction causes wear and tear and it goes loose.

[@jesusverdugo2537]

Video on vintage case restoration?

[@georgejones5019]

I got an ad for the Henson AL13 on this video. Have you checked it out yet? Seemed interesting.

[@evanalves9579]

Hey Matt, where the vids on the Rex Sovereign? I haven’t even seen a product spotlight on it, let alone a shave demo.

[@RazorEmporium]

Soon!

[@dgrishamkobo]

😎👍. The Envoy is one of my favorite razors. I have never tried Musgo Real shaving cream yet. How does it compare with Nivea shaving creams?

[@RazorEmporium]

We will have to do a nivea shave

[@mikeh9701]

Hi Matt- Great shave, razor comparisons, and soap review; thank you! I especially appreciate the head to head with the Envoy and the 3ONE6. The Musgo Real seemed to lather literally after you swirled the bush twice! Looked excellent. I hope you have a great weekend ahead. Take good care and be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Matt.

[@tompvic]

Don’t have the Edwin Jagger but really like the look of the 316. Do you know how it compares to my favorite DE the Fat Handle Tech?

[@RazorEmporium]

Similar for sure

[@coolstory6193]

What year are your fatboy and Gillette slim adjustable that you sell online? I’m thinking of just buying them refurbished it’s hard to tell how good a razor is from a picture so I might as well save trouble and spend more for a pretty much new one.

[@RazorEmporium]

We sell tons of them so if you're looking for a special year let me know. Thx

[@magnoliamike]

I just picked up the Parker 87R for $15

[@raymondfoo9045]

Would you guys choose 3one6 or Envoy?

[@bjamin50]

I placed an order and for a honing and some other products but ended up just buying a razor. I was told via email that the rest of the order was going to be shipped February 13th but I have not received anything in the mail or email. I have called several times and emailed.

I would appreciate it if you could give me an answer. Thanks!

[@gregorivs1]

Matt, have you tried the Musgo pre-shave oil?

[@RazorEmporium]

No! Need to try

[@gregorivs1]

@@RazorEmporium I'm using Proraso Pre-Shave Cream, Sensitive Skin, myself. I've only been wet shaving since October last year, but I started with Musgo pre-shave. I'm getting good shaves now, so maybe I'll swap in the Musgo pre-shave myself as a comparison.

[@andrewhannam.]

I thought the Parker TTO were all chrome plated brass? Are you sure about the center bar?

[@RazorEmporium]

Yes. If it was stamped it would look just like a gillette and it does not.

[@andrewhannam.]

@@RazorEmporium makes me want to cut mine up to see as in an interview with Deepak Grover and Howie Woda. they state "Our butterfly razors are all brass and our 3-piece razors have brass handles with a zinc alloy head." And a member of a certain forum has x-rayed 3 different razors. The Fatip and TTO Parker came up brass (handle, knob, silo door and headside)

[@RazorEmporium]

I am not doubting brass components. But there's a difference in manufacturing technique, not just material. You can cast brass, stamp brass, cnc mill/lathe brass, or possibly even metal inject it. Each one has pros and cons. Gillette did stamped brass for the most part, and it is superior to cast brass (parker I believe)

[@andrewhannam.]

Thanks for the info!!!! Great content, happy shaving!

[@profesam8457]

Great video. Enjoyed the shave. If you wanna step up your authenticity in pronunciation of the product name... MUSGO IS “MOOSE-go” and REAL may be better pronounced like “ray-ALL.” Thanks again.

[@iPlayiOS]

Question: Do you *really* need an after-shave, or is face moisturizer just as beneficial? The reason I ask is because I have used cheap after-shaves that sting the shit out of your face (still have them because I never use them haha), slightly better than cheap ones found at stores that discount items (specifically "Winners" here in Canada) and I stopped using them as I found a good quality face moisturizer to be just as good. As I come up to running out of my good stuff and potentially using my not-so-good after-shave, I thought I'd shoot the question to the man himself! :)

[@RazorEmporium]

I think a balm or lotion is a fantastic idea after a shave

[@iPlayiOS]

@@RazorEmporium Awesome, thanks man. Love the content (I'll always drop a like on every one of your videos :D)

[@nicetna2010]

An alum block will remove any sting before the aftershave. Then you can use any alcohol-based aftershave you want.

[@TheWilkReport]

I wouldn't call either a "beginner" safety razor since I still use both of them, the latter of which is my go-to, but here they are: Weishi 9306 - This is rebranded and sold in over a dozen countries including the United States. Here in America, Van Der Hagen and Microtouch One are the labels to find it under. I prefer the Van Der Hagen relabel as it offers a wider range of finishes and the quality seems a bit better than what is offered by Microtouch. Merkur 34c HD - This razor is popular with both new and long time wet shavers, and for good reason. On a scale of one to nine, I rank it at four, so on the milder end of the medium range. Both of these tools are great daily shavers and should be included in any rotation.

[@keithosmond5730]

I bought a 34C recently; so far, using an Astra SP and a Perma Sharp, I am unimpressed. Just so-so shaves. I'll try another few blades, but it's definitely the mildest of the five razors I have, and too mild for my taste - though I really want to like it. Any blade suggestions? (I'll probably try Feather, Kai and Nacet next.)

[@TheWilkReport]

@@keithosmond5730 Try a Feather or a Personna Lab Blue and see how it works for you. Your skin and beard might want the 37c if it's more aggression you're looking for.

For me it’s the Gillette Super Speed from the 70’s.

Two of these are extremely pricey for beginners don't you think?
