First shave with the Rex Konsul. Excellent shave and excellent razor.
Owning both the Konsul and the Ambassador, the Konsul certainly has noticeably less blade feel than the Ambassador. The Konsul is certainly going to be a worthwhile razor that I will love using alongside the Rex Ambassador, and I will not be parting with my Ambassador (still thoroughly, thoroughly enjoy using it a lot).
I found that I needed to go on to the higher numbers on the Konsul. I started off on 2 for first pass...
I got this one a few days ago, OUMO Exceed Vitality with a 30mm SHD 5G SYN bulb knot. Brush nr 3 - not because I needed it but because of the remarkable design and colour - next to a YAQI Atlantis Synthetic and the Connaught/Omega boar.
The indent in the handle makes for a very comfortable hold. I'm not too sure about the quality of the golden Chinese character, I guess it might come off even faster than the black coating of the Fatip Special Edition. It's slightly indented so it will stay...
Shaving balm saw this and had to try it out. At first you get a nice tingle on your face then it cools down as the mint kick in. I got this for £1.991.99
