It does 3 things really well. Looks good, feels good in the hand and shaves well. Winner winner. I often wonder how many videos I should do a week 1,2 or 3? Thanks for watching Matt!
I looked into it and the head is based off of a Edwin jagger razor that I already own. I feel like there is no need to purchase this one since I already have one. Thanks for the recommendation though.
Love me some Deton-8! Used it the other day and got plenty of complements, even into the after noon, oh, that includes the splash as well. Have a good one Matthew!
There are less slants out there but it’s like everything else in the shave world. Some work and some don’t and it comes down to what you like. Thanks for watching Leslie
It’s a nice scent and momma likes it so it makes it even better. The Konsul has less blade exposure and I think that helps with the smoothness. Thanks for watching RK!
@@Shaverboy516 I have some scents my wife doesn’t like and I’ll use them on days she works. So it’s a win win. A couple scents she didn’t like at first. Later she either gave up and tells me they are ok or her nose became more educated and liked it. Hehehehe
It is definitely smoother and almost no blade feel. The downside is it’s pricey! I was able to find mine on the buy sell and got it for a much lower price. Thanks for watching Robert!
Excellent shave Matthew. I definitely need to pick up some Deton-8 and see how it smells. I had the Rex Envoy a while back and got really rough shaves with it. I’ve been hesitant to pick up another Rex ever since. Have a great weekend!
The only issue I've had with my Rex razors (Envoy XL, Ambassador, Konsul) was the laser engraving on the Konsul was rough so I smoothed it a bit. With my Ambassador I do a three pass on 3-2-1 but the Konsul is so mild I can do a 5-4-3 and get a BBS and no alum stinging. My other efficient razors that give a mild shave are the Karve Overlander, Karve Christopher Bradley OC-B, and my new PAA Copper Ascension Twist. Especially using a fresh Feather blade I get great results and can usually just do a two pass if I want to. I'm just about to break out a new Star Jelly myself; I seem to go through it pretty fast.
I feel like I need to do the tootsie pop commercial, except how many pumps in a starjelly bottle. Hehehehe. The ascension and feather is a great combo. Thanks for watching Chris!
Very nice Matthew. That Konsul sure is a looker. Thanks for the extra video this week.

Good Morning Matthew, have the same soap can’t beat Sterling Soap. Great video have a great weekend
Stirling has a lot of great soap scents. What a nice shave. Thanks for watching Bill!
Great shave, Matthew! I always get a laugh at your intro. Love it! Keep the passion high, Matthew!
The hi I’m Matthew or the 10 second video wall? Hehehehe sometimes I get a tongue twister or I’m still a grumpy bear waking up. Thanks for watching!
@@lawrence1md Yeah, that part and then when you put your head down to wet your face. Makes me laugh.
@@thecutthroatjourney laughter feels so good, it’s like a natural medicine on its own
Nice one Matthew. You'd think Matt would have been a bit more particular about things like those edges and corners when designing/making his razors.
I believe they offer a service for that but it has a cost envolved. Thanks for watching!
Great shave !! I have a buddy of mine who has the original frag and he absolutely loves it, and I’m dying to try it. Have a great weekend!
I think you will like it, it’s a nice scent. Thanks for watching Justin!
@@lawrence1md sounds right up my alley! You’re most welcome my man!
Great shave. Have a great day and weekend
It was a nice smooth shave. Thanks for watching Mike!
hi john here nice shave you had a chance to look at that hurricane de razor yet

I’ve been getting the soaps and if I really like it I get the splash later. I have a few to order. It’s a great scent. Thanks for watching Jay!
Hi Matt I have a Rex envoy which I really like but haven't tried a slant razor though I looked at them.
Keep well and keep safe.
There are less slants out there but it’s like everything else in the shave world. Some work and some don’t and it comes down to what you like. Thanks for watching Leslie
Am I the only person that thought that blade was in crooked?
It does look crooked but a slant razor torques the blade at a angle. Like a guillotine… thanks for watching Bob!
Smooth shave Matthew, congratulations on picking up the Rex! Spice bomb is a nice scent so I’m guessing I’ll like Deton-8:)

@@lawrence1md I agree it has to get past the wife😁

@@lawrence1md I like that strategy😁
Do you feel the need of getting an ambassador if you have a konsul beforehand?
I would pick the konsul over the ambassador razor. Thanks for watching!
I really enjoy your videos. How did you smooth the edges? Also, what buy/sell site did you find it on? Keep up your videos! Thanks!
I use 1,000 grit emery cloth and a my finger as a backer. Search “wet shaving enablers: buy sell trade” thanks for watching Lindsay!
@@lawrence1md Thanks so much!
Fewer irritations/weepers compared to the Ambassador as well?
With this razor I do not get any weepers or irritation. Thanks for watching!
@@lawrence1md Awesome. Black Friday here I come :)
@@georgewashington3012 let me know how it shaves for ya
Great shave and video Matthew!
That razor looks great! How did you like it compared to the Ambassador?

I know exactly what you mean about purchasing another one. It’s a great scent , I’m sure you will like it. Thanks for watching Ben!
