RAZOR EMPORIUM REX KONSUL | IN-DEPTH REVIEW | UNBOXING + FULL DISASSEMBLY + COMPARISON + DOME SHAVE

FEATURE LENGTH SUBIE FILM ROFL
40 FULL Minutes of me so HAPPY - I HOP AROUND. The excitement, the intrigue, the anticipation - DELIVERED by my local USPS, and I had to share the moment with everyone!
SO many of us have seen, heard, or window shopped RE's brand new REX KONSUL. Since this is not only a new - shiny - razor, but also one of the first of its kind (especially in modern), I wanted be THROUGH. From the unboxing, to the full disassembly and part comparison - and weighing - to a dome shave, I did my best to provide everyone here with ALL the details. I even showcased how you could use the XL handle on the new REX KONSUL (or the KONSUL handle on a REX Ambassador!????) if you were so inclined hehe
I don't want to drone on and on here - as I do that in the video - but I wanted to highlight that while the Rex Ambassador and the Konsul do share commonalities between each other, what you are paying for, is the precision machined base plate and headcap. Combined, the baseplate actually torques the blade up into the "slanted" & "twisted" top cap, that allows for gap to be changed without torque being lost. The execution of the production razor is SPOT on, and aside from 3 edges that I quickly deburred - I can't find a single issue with this model. Blade gap was even upon full adjustment, 0 manufacturing defects, and the dot on the dial has been set to more of an angle now (which I greatly prefer). The handle is also VERY unique, it rotates beautifully in the hand, without allowing for any up and down movement. It looks almost like a Pinecone, but the steps to the knurling are not sharp - and are potentially the best knurling I have ever touched.
The actual shave - set to 6.5 - was as mild as a sunny mid-spring day. I would say it has around 1/3 (yeah...like 66%) less bite to it compared to the Ambassador - and you can see visually that the blade exposure has been greatly reduced. It almost feels like the "Little Blade" hack I did, and comparatively - had as much blade feel as something like a Pre-War Tech (or maybe a step up from a DE89). The efficiency is still there - and the Konsul still gives that ULTRA close Slant Shave feel and experience. Buffing on the 6.5 without worry of a knick - smoothly swiping away stubble - left me wondering if this isn't better for my skin than the OG Ambassador. I know the YMMV thing greatly applies to our craft, but I think RE listened to many of its customers, and made adjustments that make sense for the masses of shavers - in all skill levels.
