I found your channel a few weeks ago when I started looking into ways to prevent shaving irritation. It's been a tremendous help and I've switched over to DE shaving and I'll never look back. I've already raided the local antique stores and brought home two Gillette slims, and a NOS Brownie (currently using one of the slims). I was just looking for a better way to shave (which I found) but walked away with a bit of a hobby (not sure I should thank you for that lol). Your appreciation of history, engineering, and quality definitely shows in your Rex lineup. Keep up the great work!

After using the Konsul XL for a couple of months, I can say it’s worth the money. You can get a good shave with razors that cost less, but the Rex just feels different. It feels more efficient and smoother. I love the way my face feels after I use my Konsul XL.

Shaving unrelated, but the CPA in me hopes Rex and Razor Emporium 6:04 are separate entities for legal purposes. And although unlikely to be applicable, 199A might be beneficial to some of the partners. Unlikely though. Love your videos and enthusiasm. Very therapeutic and informative. Cheers!

I started with an affordable King C Gillette and now I am waiting for a Gillette Slim I bought on Ebay to come in the mail, which I plan to send it over to you guys to have it revamped. I want my next razor to be a Rex, but I am undecided between an Ambassador and a Konsul. I think I will pay a visit to your shop, perhaps being able to see them in person will help me make the decision.

I think that this is a fine documentary style presentation that not only informs of the various models but includes a full backstory. In my opinion , there is nothing wrong with a vendor/manufacturer promoting products as well as being a source of general education of the processes in manufacturing that/those products. The only observation that I have which is not completely neutral is this; where I reside there are highly roguish people. I would NEVER take such razors to the gym or health club. Once some of those cats see that wooden box and/or razor; they will make it there mission in life to steal it. Perhaps, showing it off in the guest bathroom at relatives house is a safer example....

Ever since discovering the slant razor, it has been a dream. I currently use a Merkur 39C. My skin will razor burn on anything and my beard is very thick and strong. The slant razor was a miracle for me. The Konsul is a dream razor, but the price tag makes it a razor that will likely be forever out of my hands... Unless Razor Emotion wants to give me one out of charity and/or Christmas generosity...I would no be opposed to that... Seriously though, if you doubt a slanted razor, try one. It was a life saver for me.
@kwl189
@kwl189 Жыл бұрын
Agreed. I had a Merkur 37C and loved it. Sadly the quality control issues with Merkur and high price make it a concern for me with them using chrome finishes, known to erode away over time and blade alignment issues meant I didn’t keep it for long but the shaves it gave were supreme. I want a Konsul but the fact is that unless the price changes or life suddenly becomes more affordable or my salary doubles it will likely not be an affordable purchase for me. Huge shame though as the adjustability is a big feature. Sometimes with heavy growth, need an aggressive first pass before dialling it back down.

Awesome video Matt👍👍 I've been waiting on this for some time, don't know why as I have all three razors since they were made available. Beautiful pieces of craftsmanship, enjoy using each one especially the Konsul. The Envoy gets the least use of the three but still is not neglected. Being the Envoy is "fixed" at about #3 on the Ambassador for comparison, it's fairly aggressive for my skin/beard type but manageable for longer times between shaves. Thought about having them all plated and polished but then the collector came out in me and just couldn't do it. Settings for me: Ambassador-2-2.5, Konsul-1-5+... Excellent work, thanks bro. Enjoy!

Thank you very much for posting this video. When I first saw the "Envoy" I felt I had to learn more about it. This Guide is exactly what I want and need as a customer. Some time ago, my uncle handed down to me a collection of Gillette razors from the 1950s and 1960s. I've come to realize I want something better quality and more modern than the hand-me-downs. I also have a modern long-handled Merkur and I like the weight of that very much. Something about the handle and weight give me confidence. I rarely nick myself when using the Merkur, but do nick myself with the lighter weight Gillettes. So I'm thinking I can get the same or a better experience with one of the razors featured here. Overall, this is an extremely helpful video to me.

Question: do the Rhodium-plated or highly polished versions have less friction (better "glide") than the brushed stainless steel finish? I think that the Rockwell 6C glides better than the 6S, but the finish (bead blasted?) on the SS 6S is probably higher-friction than the brushed finish on the Rex razors, so I'm not sure the 6C/6S comparison would apply to the Rex razors. I'd be interested in your comments, and thanks!

I went with the Ambassador (the standard stainless steel version). For me, I like the idea of not having to worry about wearing any plating off over time. I love it ! And since I bought it early 2021, I did not feel the need to look around for any other razor. (Safe for vintage ones that I collect, but not use.) And that is saying a lot.

My favorite Rex razor is the Envoy. You can buy the XL handle as an add on that goes with the regular size handle. Completely interchangeable. Both handles have that WONDERFUL grip on them. I bought two Envoys and two XL handles to go with. (One regular Envoy razor plus extra handle for each.) I have a Konsul as well but the grip on the Envoy just can not be beat and I discovered the Envoy blade gap is perfect for me, I don't really need the adjustable feature although the Konsul shaves really well. It was the grip on the Envoy handle that had me keep coming back to it.

Awesome video Matt! I own all three of your DE razors & love them, though I’ll say my favourite is the Konsul if I want a luxury shave, followed by the Envoy as a daily driver. What I love about all your razors is the excellent build quality and efficiency, there’s nothing worse than an inefficient razor which requires lots of buffing lol, but my Rex will always give me a close shave. I can also vouch for Rex’s/ RE’s outstanding customer service, you guys are extremely helpful. Even though I live in Europe they’ve been able to support me, offer advice and safety ship their wonderful products to me. If you own a Rex you know how great they are, but if you’re new to the wet shaving world then look no further, a Rex razor will be your perfect shaving companion. Also, I don’t think I was aware of your brushes, it would be great to see you use them in your shaving review videos Matt. As for future products I’d love to see a none adjustable Konsul, the Envoy version of the Konsul and maybe even a single edge injector style razor??? And possibly even a Matt black finish, I see quite a few black razors which I think looks quite cool. What ever the future holds I know you’ll bring us some awesome gear 👍🏼.

I wanted to get another one so I have one always in my travel kit so I bought the Rhodium plated Ambassador with the matching stand. It looks fantastic and I can actually see the red dot clearly on the newer razors. The older ones came with their own "well type" stand that worked pretty well but is not the massive block that the new one is so my old one is perfect for travel. I originally chose Rex because of the heavy knurling on the handle. I got tired of my razors being dented from dropping them. Rex wont't slip or dent and you can dial in the perfect shave.

I own the Ambassador and the Konsul. The ambassador is a little too aggressive for me and is usable for me on settings up to 3. The Konsul is usable at all settings and may be my best razor. Kudos to you Matt for a great product.

Excellent showcase! Did the Rex team experiment with putting the blade alignment tabs, on the handle side of the plate? I think the user experience could be improved by maintaining your grip on the handle while placing the blade onto the razor, and then placing the head plate onto the blade.

It would increase the product cost. Gillette used the tech style tabs for 40+ years for a good reason. For those who struggle to load, assemble upside down with blade going onto cap first. Thx

I love my polished Konsul, and feel it’s definitely worth the money. Any thoughts on adding a TTO/butterfly top to the Konsul, and still keep it adjustable ? That would be my ideal REX razor.

The Rex razors are, without a shadow of a doubt, some of the classiest and well produced looking razors out there. Unfortunately, there will never be a day when I am in a position to own one. Having said that, with your "no blade-feel" comment, the Konsul would be my choice.

You presented the options perfectly and I must say that the Envoy & Ambassador are the coolest looking razors on the market with that deep thorough knurling. You absolutely nailed it. I’m officially putting one of these on my Christmas list.

Hey Matt! I purchased a Rex Ambassador last year and love it! Unsurpassed quality in craftsmanship! Maybe an option for the more budget friendly folks would be for these razors to come in a chrome version like Rockwell offers. They have the 6s (stainless steel) and the 6c (chrome). The 6s is obviously way more in price. The 6c offers the same shave experience in a lower cost version. I own both of those versions and actually find the chrome one a bit smoother! Just a thought to ponder for the folks watching their pennies! Thanks as always for your videos!! Can't wait til you try the vintage Trac II and Atra razors!! Have a great week! Jim

Plating durability has a direct correlation to wear and tear. If you never use it, it will last forever. The most important thing is to take care of it, clean it periodically with the proper routine and it should last for many many years if not a few decades

Great video Matt! It makes me want to buy a new razor, hahaha. I have owned an Envoy for a couple years now. I’ve added several high-end razors to my collection over the years and the Envoy remains one of my favorites. It always gives a smooth and efficient shave. I also love the look and feel of the Envoy. There are very few razors out there with this level of precision craftsmanship. Rex is definitely top tier.

I love my Ambassador, but I am not sure about the red dot on the dial. I suppose it is a homage to Gillette Fatboy and Gibbs Adjustable. How about a REX teal dot? Less associated with blood, but close to cold of the stainless steel. I think I am gonna give it a try. At worst case I can get a spare dial. Any advice to remove the red paint, or the kind of paint I should choose for the teal?
