Rex Konsul

Pros

• a lot of these pearls and Yaqis are not going to be as well made as the Rex.
• Without considering price I’d pick the Rex. I just looks to have better finishing. Also the top cap is curved at the sides which would make it more comfortable.
• I have one. I would say it is my favorite razor I have. It can be a little unforgiving but really does a good job. I think what really sets it apart from your Slim is the premium feel, construction, and weight. I love how grippy the hand...
• There are many adjustable razors alternative to the mythical Vision. Merkur Progress, Pearl Flexi, Parker Variant, Tatara, Rex Ambassador, Rex Konsul, etc.
• I am hoping to improve my technique with my Konsul so that I don’t experience any irritation with the alum block. ... It was comfortable during the shave, but I think I ended up pressing a little too hard, since I got some mild stinging...

Cons

• Overall a solid shave, but this is why the BB has surpassed the Konsul. The Konsul usually causes a tiny bit of irritation on my neck. I have only gotten a handful of shaves with it that were completely irritation free. ... The razor is...
• It’s very nicely made, but it wasn’t for me. I now know that I prefer lighter razor. I also couldn’t really dial in a setting that worked for me.
• I already have 3 titanium razors and a Rex Konsul, so I am on the fence.
• He reviewed the Rex like 5 times in the last year at least.
• I swapped in a Rex blade, which turned out to be a bit better, but nothing like the Wilkinson. It still required a few passes in some spots and I did get a little razor burn.
