Rex Supply Co. introduces “The Envoy,” the company’s latest entry in the company’s critically acclaimed line of razors and shaving accessories. The Envoy is a double edge safety razor with an elegant look and a weighted feel that delivers an elevated shaving experience.
Rex Supply Co. brand razors are known to deliver a clean, close shave without tugging, pulling or skin irritations and the Envoy is no exception.It was developed by the company’s wet shaving enthusiasts to bring modern precision and premium features to the economies a fixed blade design.
At first glance, both experienced and novice wet shavers will appreciate the brilliance of the razor’s modern look, crafted in the brilliance of marine-grade stainless steel. The razor feels solid and balanced with its familiar “Sure Grip” handle that inspires confidence through control, even when wet.
The precisely machined cap, guard and handle disassemble smoothly to accommodate the shaver’s choice of most standard double-edge blades. Reassembled, the blade rests at a medium setting, the equivalent of a “3” on the company’s adjustable “Ambassador” model.
With each pass, the shaver will notice how the blade glides almost effortlessly, leaving behind a path of groomed, comfortable skin. As with most fixed razor designs, shavers are free to customize the experience through blade selection for a more or less aggressive shave.
The Envoy double edge safety razor is 100% “Made in the USA” and designed for a lifetime of use. Each features an individual serial number and a manufacturing code that adheres to the classic Gillette® product dating system. This product comes with a lifetime warranty and is designed to be fully compatible with the company’s popular Ambassador Double Edge Razor Case and Ambassador Razor Stand.

Not gonna lie that's pretty cool. Ive always wondered if other countries ever bought USA made products. To see a Japan native buying USA products is awesome. Some of the best products I own are made in Japan. Two of my favorites are a Japanese chef knife and a night force rifle scope that was built in Japan.

I now have 3 Rex Envoy's. One for home, one at the vacation home, and one for my travel kit. I have tried a dozen razors and I always come back to this one. The fit and finish and grip are second to none. It has the feel/heft of a Gillette Fatboy which is my second favorite razor. The Envoy stands above the Fatboy because of the knurling on the grip. I recommend getting both the stand and the leather case. You will not be disappointed.

Hi Matt- Great razor review; thank you! The Rex Envoy is definitely a winning razor design. The knurling on the handle is superior to any other razor on the market; tight tolerances enable the three piece design to act like a solid unit. I hope the weekend is off to a great start! Please take good care and be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Matt!

Just got my envoy today, and had my first shave with it. (Head & face) it did an excellent job-really smooth and efficient. No nicks or cuts. I was surprised at how there was virtually no learning curve at all to this. I have sensitive skin and was a little nervous after reading some reviews that there would be too much blade feel or aggression but I’m happy to say that wasn’t the case. Also I love that the blade tabs are covered! The price for what you get is a great value. Thanks Matt. I look forward to using this one for a long time. It’s a keeper.

Love the feel of my Envoy in my hand. Top quality handle grip and flawless finish. My only knock on it is the positive blade exposure with just slightly too much blade feel for me when I use it on m6 neck. It works well to knock down 2 days of growth. If the blade exposure was less noticeable on my neck it would be my daily driver.

I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet judging by the comments on here too. Thanks guys...lovin' the shave as always.

Hi Matt I am fortunate to have both the Ambassador and the Envoy. Both purchases have signified key milestone in my life. I will say that that both are the best machined and engineered razors I have ever used and the serial number makes them extremely precious. They are in a league of their own the perfect size. The quality, weight and feel is the best in the world. Now onto the shave. Coupled with the right blade they work flawlessly. Other razors can be less blade picky which is the only slight improvement that could possibly be made. If you can get it to feel like the 6S then you will have the ultimate and perfect razor. Love the new packaging by the way wish I could get this.

Thank you for the excellent demonstration, and for your reply ("Personna lab blues") to my earlier query. Rex also recommend the lab blues, as they (so they advise) do not measure blade exposure but go by the feel which, in the Envoy, they say is "slightly positive", contrasting with the Konsul's "blade neutral" (which presumably they have measured). The Personna lab blues (which offer "a fantastic pairing", Rex's verdict) are not readily available on outlets where I am. So, my query is if you can, with your renown expertise on shaving, advise on what is special about the lab blues so that I can approximate a choice from other makes? Is it that Personna are narrower - as I am presuming, given Rex's explanation (for not giving figures of blade exposure) is that measuring Feather blades versus Markur gives "slightly different figures". It would also have been beneficial for Rex to have included (as almost all other razor makers do) a sample of five blades with their razors. Thank you.

I do love my Envoy Razor and use it very often. To be honest, I use Envoy more than I use my Ambassador due to the simplicity of design (in fairness, the Ambassador provides smoother shave). Both are effective shaving razors. They are works of art and proper shaving tools. Thank you.

​@jeeperspeepers8323 I can attest, they are pretty nice boxes. Sturdy enough to use for travel, if one wanted, and they have a felt like cutout to hold one's razor securely. You may have to see one to understand... but personally I'm considering ordering a second, to store or travel with one of my other razors. I just bought an Envoy yesterday, and one of the things I like about it, is how well made the box is, is kind of sounds like the sound-box for an instrument.

I feel that if people want the high or low they can get the ambassador. Gillette didn't continue the heavy / light after fatboy came out. I may revist the idea but that is my thoughts on it now. Thx :)

I loved the idea of this razor. The construction and design are second to none. However, when shaving, I felt that the stainless steel created too much friction and did not glide as smooth across my skin. My vote would be for a polished chrome version.

did you try increasing the angle a bit? anytime I hear this I recommend increasing angle (i.e. riding cap more) and most times the person says it was a big improvement. Chrome is one of the most troublesome finishes for a razor long terms because it cracks and shatters over time.

Hi Matt, I have both the Ambassador and the Envoy, and I absolutely love them, I bought my Envoy from a friend 5 days ago to be honest. I love the way it shaves, I noticed in the video what sometimes happen with my envoy, it gets stuck by threading, I noticed also some stripping on a couple of places on the cap male threading, it is not dramatic, but maybe it could be better, my question is: can I buy a new cap if it gets worse, and maybe a new empty packaging? I absolutely stand for what you doing, as I have a similar story like u getting to safety razors and wet shaving. Greetings from Germany.

This is very tempting. I just took delivery of a vintage British made Gillette Aristocrat Jr. that I need to spend some time with before considering anything else though. The Rex case is gorgeous, but why use a tongue and loop closure instead of neodymium magnets? Also, a cutout in the case to accommodate a full tuck of Feather blades, the plastic one with the slot for spent blades, would be really sweet. The stand is utterly brilliant!

I'm all about simplicity and sourcing things in America. Try finding american made magnetic clasps - they all come from china and india. And the case size would have to increase significantly to accommodate a full plastic pack of blades. Really this is a travel case and most times you don't need more than 2-3 blades for your typical vacation or business trip. Thanks, Matt

@@RazorEmporium Thank you. I understand the considerations around making the case larger. That makes sense to me. There really is no such thing as a neodymium clasp that you can source off the shelf anywhere. A closure can be comprised of either two magnets, one on each surface to be closed; or a magnet on one surface and a ferrous metal on the other. Your case already incorporates a metalic buckle which is custom fabricated to accommodate a leather strap. The alternative I am suggesting is a neodymium magnet or several countersunk into the walnut block to which the custom metalic buckle (now a ferrous plate) would be attracted. This would eliminate the need for a strap. It should be less costly to manufacture, simpler to operate, a cleaner design, and even more elegant than the current solution. I do not know if such magnets are manufactured domestically. Perhaps they are, although the Chinese tend to dominate all rare metal manufacture. Neodymium magnets were developed in 1984 by General Motors in partnership with a Japanese firm. I appreciate your commitment to domestic sourcing of materials and craftsmanship. This means a lot to me.

Hi Matt. Watched you lovely video and bough the razor locally online. Well even though the serial No of my new razor is several hundreds after the one shown on the video it came in what I assume an old box with razor shaking around in something like green confetti to the extend that the warranty card is worn out but the "shure grip" of the razor :-). So have you been using old boxes for some time after release of the above video? G

I replied to your email about this. Just because we used a razor in the video doesn't mean it's brand new right off the machines. We used our store demo which has been on display since P2. We changed packaging last year. Some stores still have old stock.
