Gents, The Konsul was came out yesterday. Really looking forward to reviews from any of you who have pre-ordered!
Thanks.
Thanks.
That’s not me.Good review. Thanks. The only suggestion I would make would be to take off the black promo shirt before you lathered and shaved.
Not to mention wearing the autographed shirt!Immediately stopped watching at ... "I'm using a Personna blade because it's Matt's favourite!"
Unbiased review, and for the first time you use a razor, you go with a blade you're not familiar with, just because it's Matt's favourite??
Well yeah, that should have been enough for me to understand that I was just wasting my time!Not to mention wearing the autographed shirt!
What’s wrong with that?
My bad, he did mention the Personna 74 and obviously I got it mixed up when I wrote my post. He used a Permasharp, because that's Matt's favourite, and fanboys will be fanboys I guess ...others just have poor listening skills. (It’s Permasharp blade, not persona. And the YouTuber didn’t say he is not familiar with it)
Both the Rex Ambassador and the Konsul was designed around the Permasharp and the Polsilver blade. Other blades will probably work to, but i find my Rex a little picky on blades. It would probably have been better if he had said something about what blades the razor had been developed around, and justified his blade choice based on that.My bad, he did mention the Personna 74 and obviously I got it mixed up when I wrote my post.

Brother Mac,Sorry about the rant, but Some people here are just salty…

the guy paid with his own money for the razor and the shirt, and he seemed so excited to be the first to put a video review on YouTube. In the end he got a great shave and was happy with it…

in this day and age one can’t simply be happy for the success of a friend or whatever. The Internet police is right around the corner to criticize every single little detail.
Back to the topic. I’m interested in the Konsul as well. Love my Ambassador but it’s too aggressive for constant daily use. I will wait for the discount coupons to show up, though. $350 is too hefty of a price for me
I understand where he’s coming from. 1 is my current favorite setting. Even there, it it still has considerable blade feel and respectable efficiency. Ergo, it’s not mild. In my opinion, closest (although still not similar) setting on my Fatboy is 7. It’s hard to articulate—you just have to experience for yourself.Brother Mac,
How can an adjustable razor be too aggressive for daily use? Even at a setting of 1? That's hard for me to visualize. Am I missing something?
