How do you like that razor? Where did you buy it from?

I bought it through a group buy on another shaving forum.
It's pretty mild and a very lightweight razor.
The shaving angle is very easy to find and I had a BBS shave.
Personally, I would like a bit more weight to the handle, so that it doesn't "jump" as easy.

 

[Whiterook]

I added a dab of Cremo to get that stuff to lather.

Razor: Schick J1 Injector Razor
Blade: Schick Injector
Brush: Rubberset 203 in Super Badger
Pre-Shave: L'Occitane Cade Shave Oil
Lather: Caswell and Massey Almond Shave Cream
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue

Thayers Facial Tonic Witch Hazel Unscented
Pinaud Finest powder

Well, after the first of several shaves to come, the score stands, Rex Ambassador 1, Jeff 0! I can’t seem to dial this razor in. One weeper on the face and three nicks on the dome requiring styptic intervention with some serious irritation on the front of my neck and under my right jawline. I just shouldn’t have to work so hard. I’ve yet to have a comfortable shave with this razor. Three passes on the face and one and a half on the dome left me with an unsatisfactory rough shave. The caffeinated shave cream whipped up into a nice thick protective lather, but to no avail! I’ve only had one other razor treat me this way, and that was the OneBlade Hybrid, but for totally different reasons. That razor was designed for cart shavers transitioning to the single blade world, and since I never shaved with carts did not get the pressure part of that technique that went counter to every instinct developed over 50 yrs of wet shaving. In the Rex’s case I have no such excuse. I did notice that the razor did not glide smoothly through the lather. I know it was the razor because I picked up the Gibbs and tried a few strokes through the lather, and did not have the same issue. I’ll be trying one more shave, and if the issue continues, it’s off to RE for a checkup. And if things continue someone will get a great deal on a Rex. I feel like my neck and head are sore from the depredations of this razor. Hopefully, tomorrow’s shave will be an improvement.

RAZOR: Rex Ambassador
BLADE: Suneko
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with PAA’s Charcoal-Menthol Cube Preshave Soap
BRUSH: Jayaruh Custom Silvertip Badger
CREAM: Pacific Shaving Company’s Caffeinated Shave Cream
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with Glyce Glycerin soap followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with Pacific Shaving Company’s Caffeinated AS Balm
