I have Version 5. The problems have all been resolved. The blade is perfect at every setting and the top piece fits flush to the bottom piece. Awesome razor for the price. I like the heavy feel of the razor and the size of the handle. Of all the adjustable razors I own, this is the best value. The fact that they include a base is a plus as well as the all brass construction. I highly recommend it.

Doesn't matter if he admits it, he's no different than Pearl. If anything Matt is more pretentious and bitter. He didn't design the Rex from scratch, he stole it from Gibbs, then he got copied himself. It's the same razor for like 1/4 the price

Traditional WetShaving for 3 years I’ve accumulated about 30 modern and vintage safety razors. Not too long ago I started downsizing slowly because I did not need all of them.. I went from 20 down to 15 now I’m at a comfortable 10. But this is a razor that I would add to my collection. I always wanted to try the REX But I couldn’t see myself spending that. Here comes this razor.... yeah I got my eyes on it!!! 💈😁✌🏻💈 ~Mike Rose~

Thanks for the video. I watch a little for the shave, but mostly for the narrative. I had my heater inspected last week. They check the manifold for cracks and carbon monoxide leaks, as well as make sure the gas air mix is at its most efficient setting. It’s $90 per unit and I have two units, but it’s money well spent. My thermostats keep track of the hours on my filter and I change them when it says to. The tech just leaves new filters to be installed at the next alert. I end up buying about two sets per year for in between visits. I look forward to a video on the mustang once it’s completed. Anyway, said too much already. Stay safe.

It is undoubtedly a Rex Ambassador clone (brass clone of a stainless steel razor). Weighs a ton compared to the Rex, though (~24g heavier). Being almost 1/4th the price, it may be a great budget adjustable. I would love to get my hands on it to give it a try.

Nice shave Ken. I'm sure you will love the Rex. It's shaves as good as it looks. The grip on the Rex handle is insane (it's like having velcro on your finger tips), easily the best of any razor I've used. A tip I would give with the Rex is, start on a low number (even on one on the dial), as its deceptively efficient even on its low settings. It's one of those razors that while it can be really efficient on its highest settings, it still remains smooth and comfortable. The good thing with the Rex is, you don't have to adjust in 1 or half steps. You can turn the dial a very small amount to give you that precise amount of adjustment to give you the perfect setting for your preference. Stay safe.

Those Willys blades are not Wilkinson from India. I too got them with my Pearl SS01 3 piece. Nice razor though with long handle and weighing in 92g. the blades are crap i think. it couldn't cut much on first pass though my beard is not so heavy or coarse.

@@eqbrim I would consider it on the aggressive side. As with everything it depends on the blade you pair it up with and your facial hair and skin type. DE shaving isn't going to be like a cartridge razor shave. If you think about it it, a cartridge shave typically has 3-5 blades and you're swiping it multiple times. DE shaving is definitely less irritable to the skin if done correctly.

I had the Rex Ambassador and I have the Rex Envoy and I experience the same issue with both razors, a lot of DRAG! I don't know if it's because it's a matte finish or there is a issue in general with the coating but it's very annoying with how expensive both razors are to experience that. I've had no issue with any other razors I've owned over the 8 years.

@@j_boogie0123 Thanks. I've tried many different blades...Treet, Derby, Voskhod, Dorco, Personna Platinum, Shark, Lord, Gillette Platinum, Feather, and even a Wilkinson Sword brand. Just not the one Ken brags about. I always seem to go back to Astra SP. But there are so many variables to consider that I'm sure I've missed a combination that would work with other blades. This is one hobby where YMMV means exactly that.
