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.

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.

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.

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.

Creepy India copycats of Rex - we need to put these thieves out of business. Great review as usual!

Nice review. I'll be interested in your comparison of the Rex Ambassador. The Pearl Flexi razor certainly appears to be a Rex Ambassador knockoff. BTW, I've been meaning to ask. How does your favorite Wilkinson Sword blade compare to the Astra SP?

To me Astra SP are a little sharper.

@@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.

I find it smoother, but that might just be me

This razor does look a lot like the T-rex Ambassador but is almost 4 times cheaper. It’d be very interesting to hear how the two compare. Thanks for the Chanel Ken!

I’m curious about the feel of the blade. Kevy used this razor in his video and said the same thing about the blade gap

You sold this razor to Mike Rosenthal, and he just had a contest on Facebook which I won. So, I am supposed to receive this razor soon.
