9:07 - let's be honest. It's taking off your beard that good mainly because you using feather blade. Razor always playing secondary role as a blade holder. Yes there's factors like a blade gap, exposure, angle of the razor. That's play it's part also. But feather blade is the feather blade. It would cut great even if you use it in the mildest razors.

Rex razors are such all-American classics. That itself is a big part of their appeal to me. And stainless steel razors are always hard to resist. I love them dearly. I now think the Envoy is actually a better deal than the Ambassador. It’s basically the same razor - the only difference being that the Ambassador is adjustable, the Envoy is not. But the Envoy is exactly half the price. And a ‘medium’ setting is just alright. I’m getting it soon. Thanks Geo for this great shave review and helping me decide.

Hi geofatboy, I have suffered with skin issues for about 25 years now - acne and seborrheic dermatitis on the face. I have always shaved with cartridge razors. I am going to buy a safety razor and was thinking of getting the Edwin Jagger DE89 (I watched your video on it) - would you recommend this one to me? Also what shaving cream would you recommend me? I was thinking to find a shaving cream or gel or foam whatever without oil and without alcohol and SLS and without any other ingredients that may irritate my skin but is proving difficult for me to find such a product. I look forward to your reply. Many thanks.
