So, I know it seems obvious to say, but I've got into the habbit of leaving my Rex Konsul fairly loosey goosey when I load the blade. I used to tighten it down, not super tight but enough that you'd say yeah, no blade chatter, good grip on the top cap etc. Now I make sure the blade is aligned of course, but I really don't put much tention through it any more. I leave it such that there is some play in the bottom knob. To me at least it's an absolute game changer, shaves much closer to the skin, far fewer strokes to remove the hair etc. Anyone else do this? if not, honestly I suggest giving it a try, I'm not sure I'd be happy using the konsul without doing this.
