Rex definitely makes quality safety razors. I bought the Rex Ambassador after I started back to traditional wet shaving in 2020. I've never shaved with the Envoy. But I will say that the Ambassador on setting 3 is too aggressive for me. I do my first pass on setting 2 and finish my shave on setting 1. My issue is that I don't like the Ambassador's positive blade exposure. Too much blade feel is not for me. That's why the Rockwell 6S is my favorite. It's the smoothest DE I've used. Once again proving that YMMV. BTW, the Razorock Gamechanger is made from 316 stainless steel at almost one-third the price of the Envoy. Many shavers claim it is smoother than the 6S.
The Rex envoy is a fantastic razor, well worth the money, it’s good for daily shaving and to shave with even 2 weeks of growth, not many razors can do both, great video, the soap, splash and balm look good too 👍
At some point, I hope you decide to review some of the Razorock razors. The Razorock razors don't get enough attention IMO. They have 316 stainless razors that are as affordable as many zamac razors, but are machined to tolerances of the most expensive artisan razors. Their safety razor line also go from mild to wild aggressive. They have several popular lines of razor. Here are two: The more blade feel line of razor Lupo, and less blade feel Gamechanger. I suggest you try the Gamechanger .84 and either the Lupo 58 or 72. Razorock is super high quality stainless and prices everyone can afford. Their razor handles are the best you can buy without a doubt.
I also have a sensetive neckline, but this is the first razor I have used that does not give me any irritation. It’s a great razor and money well spent I think.
I wasn’t either until I shaved with it. Only one shave so far but no irritation under my jaw line at all even after buffing both sides 3 and 4 times to get BBS. Haven’t found a razor yet that I didn’t get some irritation after that many times but YMMV
@ohioshaves rex envoy I give you credit for the head shaves with a safety razor. I still can’t get it done with one. I bought the Leaf Twig for that reason. Fell in love with the razor but just can’t shave the dome with it. Someday maybe. Keep the great content coming! Thanks!
Thank you for posting this excellent video. I was looking for reviews of the Envoy razor. Yours is a really outstanding review which allows me different views of how you use the razor. This is what I was looking for.
@ohioshaves rex envoy Just getting back into shaving. I had a full beard since 2021. I couldn’t locate my wet shaving supplies so I ordered a Henson A13. From your recommendations and others. I guess have had an aggressive razor before as I had issues with nicks and cuts often. Knowing my former cheapskate self it was likely a knock off of a knock off cheapie razor. I do remember feather blades would slice my face all up. From your videos and others I will soon have three razors in my inventory. The Henson, a Leaf Twig and a Rockwell 6c. I’ve been using your 10% off code a few places. And I find it interesting how you change up your beard from shave to shave at time. Gives me ideas of what to do. My techs at work didn’t notice when I shaved the beard off. I left a mustache and goatee which is my normal shave going back to the 90’s. They may not even notice when I change up the beard shape. Anyway, I’ve been enjoying your videos. Especially the sounds of the razor slicing off the facial hairs. Almost as good as the sound of bacon cooking on a weekend morning. Or any morning for that fact.
How would you guys rate the efficiency of the leaf twig compared to the 6c on a 3 plate? I also have a Parker 78r and had a Henson Al13 mild. Considering the twig for its unique looks & colors.
@ohioshaves rex envoy Thanks for another fantastic video. This my first time posting a comment, but I have been enjoying your channel and been a subscriber for months. I am new to DE razors and have learned a ton from you and would echo what others have said about the great production quality of your videos. Always informative and a pleasure to watch. Keep up the great work!
@ohioshaves rex envoy I discovered your channel recently and I’m really enjoying your videos. Your experiences with the Henson jibe with my own, so I suspect your experiences with other razors will be especially helpful to me.
@@OhioShavesSensitive skin for sure, but luckily pretty light beard growth. The way you make razors mow through that thick week's beard growth is impressive.
Can't wait to hear your review of the new Sentry Razor by Rex. I know you don't like slants but that one has a neutral blade exposure and it would be perfect for your face. I think anyway.
Ya ever heard of REC in Columbus? Was my first time going and it happened to be their 20th anniversary event and it was elite tier. Not only the event, but also the store! HOLY COW! Knives galore, and a nice section of shaving stuff from fine, Parker and a few other shave companies
Got the leaf and twig direct. Converting from plastic. Thanks for getting me on track w the shave gear. Stuff not delivered yet. Saw the rex shavers look great. Way more money than I want to spend tho.
Great question. I'm going to compare these two razors side-by-side because they are a little different. I'm not 100% sure what plate it's going to fall on, so let's wait and see. My guess would be a four or five plate, but don't hold me to that
Beautiful looking razor. Nice and crispy shave. The splash and balm look refreshing and enticing. Loving the editing work and the bathroom decor looks great. Would love to add the envoy to my collection along with my Henson mild you gave me. 2nd favorite razor for sure, but I gotta give the #1 spot to my 6s. Happy Shaving. @ohioshaves rex envoy
@ohioshaves rex envoy Great review. I will say I've yet to have the perfect shave yet. Ive been close but that alum block always finds a sting lol. Just curious do they also provide a stand for the razor? That face shave was dam near perfect.
@ohioshaves rex envoy Don’t have a Rex razor, the envoy looks fantastic. 1966 is my birth year, tried to subtly hint at a birthday gift, sadly no one took the bait. Great video, very enjoyable!
@ohioshave Rex Envoy I also dig the 1966. I first bought the 1955. Good performance but a little too floral for me. Is the Envoy around the same weight as a 6S? Keep the vids coming!!
Kinda having a hard time settling on one razor. I don’t mind spending the money on a nice razor but definitely don’t want to be buying more than one. Looking for the best “do it all razor”. Was thinking about the Henson ti-22 ++ but am starting to switch tracks to an adjustable in case I would like a different aggressiveness for whatever reason. I think my gut is leaning towards the Rockwell t2 for ease of adjustment. Any thoughts?
@OHIOSHAVES REX ENVOY I own the Rex Ambassador and it is such a quality built razor! It should due to the high price but well worth it. I am just curious as to what aggression the Rex Envoy has is comparable to which setting on the Ambassador? I have been contemplating on purchasing the Envoy. I'll do my due diligence and research it a bit more. Thanks for reviewing this razor and the giveaway! JimG from Northfield, Ohio!!
@OhioShaves Rex Envoy Thank you for the chance to win this razor! Would love to try the REX Envoy. Use the 1955 Balm from Razor Emporium and it is wonderful.
Hey man looked like a great shave! I see a lot of people are wanting you to try the ambassador and konsul. I would like to see your thoughts as well! If Matt isn’t going to send them I have both I would be willing to send to you to review and compare if that’s something you do? Just make sure you send them back lol let me know👍
It’s pretty close between the two but if I had to choose only one it would be the konsul. It’s sneaky efficient with how smooth it feels as the ambassador is efficient as well you just know it’s being so. Really depends on the mood that day in which one I would shave with. Also have the Karve overlander and Karve Christopher Bradley. Don’t know if you’ve tried them, both great as well and I could send them if you haven’t tried or reviewed them yet. Let me know. Videos are great 👍
I tried tackling two weeks of growth on my head and it really struggled because it wasn't aggressive enough. I could see if you only had 3 or 4 days of growth, it being a very great head shaver.
I use the leaf shaver razor. Those three blades are so aggressive. It just slices off hair on my head. The feather is on my list of razors. Can't wait to try it someday. Maybe they'll send one to me so I can give it away to all the viewers.
Another great video as always. I was wondering when you were going to test the Rex Envoy. I'm curious, any plans to test the Rex Konsul? I own both the Envoy and the Konsul. They're both fantastic razors. The Envoy can be a bit too aggressive for my semi-sensitive skin if I shave every other day. That's where the adjustable beauty of the Konsul shines.
I will review it if Matt over at Rex Supply Co. Sends one to me. I haven’t found a slant razor that I like yet. Having sensitive skin the cheap slant agitate my skin, and this is the complete opposite of what a slant Razor suppose to do 🫣
@@OhioShaves and I think that's where the research that Matt has done comes into play. The Konsul slices through the hair so smoothly and efficiently that even on say setting 3, feels like a Henson AL13 mild. It's crazy good. Definitely spendy at $350 but to me it's absolutely worth it.
@@OhioShaves Thank you that's good cause I'm looking for a de razor for a good bbs on the head other than just the leaf razor and thorn which I already have thank you
@ohioshaves rex envoy Damn looks awesome. The price doesn't seem to bad considering the materials used and the country where it is produced. Looks like a comfortable shave and it's nice to know there are other razors than the Rockwell 2c/6c that are smooth shavers and works well for people with sensitive skin. Nice shave. Just out of curiosity, have you ever shaved with a Gillette minora blade? I recently started using them in the Henson Al13 ++ and my 2c and it works well with both razors.
Nice. I do have some of those Gilletts, but I am really stuck on the persona USA made blades in my Henson's. They just fit perfectly and there is no blade movement in the cap. With some of the Gillette razor blades, I have to ram the blade in the top cap for it to seat properly. I don't believe they manufacture as precise as personna does when it comes to fit and finish in different types of razors. Does that make sense? Have you had this issue?
@@OhioShaves I can not say that I have had that problem. Mine fit perfectly fine. I do have the habit of bending the blade in the top cap before assembling the rest of the razor so that's probably why. I'm glad though because the lower part of my neck is very sensitive. The only place I do shave at the moment. I haven't shaved with any personna blades yet because they are difficult to find where I'm from.
@ohioshaves rex envoy Great review.The shave was effortless.Very nice razor indeed.That balm looks fantastic.I noticed your face looks fantastic after this shave and I watch your videos all the time 😊.So that combination works fantastic 😊.I know you love Nivea but quality balm like this is worth investing a couple bucks more in my opinion.
@ohioshaves Rex Envoy Great video! I don’t feel $150 for a USA stainless razor is crazy. I feel Razor emporium stuff really contributes to the community & will one day be collectors items. How would you compare to a Rockwell 6c on a 3 plate or a Parker 78R for efficiency & smoothness? Thanks for the quality content. I look forward to some comparison shaves you do with the Rex.
@@OhioShaves I have to 100% agree with that. The 6c is my smoothness benchmark hands down. Under the mustache ATG pass with 6c is unbeatable for me. I’ve had/have many razors but the 6c is the only razor I have 2 of just in case I drop and break 1 🤣🤣
I just started double edge shaving, switching over from cartridges. Have watched several @OhioShaves videos, I went ahead and picked up the Rockwell 6C. I’m very impressed and glad I got it. I feel it cuts better without the irritation I normally get with a disposable blade. If you pick up a Rockwell 6c, you won’t be disappointed
@ohioshaves rex envoy Great shave! I’m a beginner to wetshaving and you make it look so effortless. I have a Merkur 34c but I keep getting irritation. I hope my technique improves. I’m currently experimenting with different blades to see if that helps.
@ohioshaves rex envoy Great video, great content altogether. I'm from Bosnia, and a just switched to safety razors, I'm not going back to cartridge ones. Anyway, I've done some research, and basically here I can only buy three or four types of DE razors, the Wilkinson Sword Classic (the black plastic one), the King C Gillette, a couple of lesser known brands and that's it. For blades, it's about 5-6 brands. Anyway still enough to get into the great world od classic shaving. Carry on with the good content.
That all depends on Matt over at razor Emporium. I was very happy to get this razor from him. Definitely shoot him an email and let him know every comment helps.😁
@ohioshaves rex envoy Another great video. Have you thought about making one or know if there is an online platform, like Discord, for de razor users to all come together?
@ohioshaves Rex Envoy This is right up there with classy, high-end razors, which just seem unfathomable in how well they are made. Way out of my league.
I echo some of these comments - really enjoy your editing and post production. Do you always prefer to apply balm after the splash? I’ve seen quite the debate on this @ohioshaves rex envoy
@OhioShaves another great detailed educational breakdown of wet shaving products and techniques. What razor would you do a Vs with The Rex Envoy in comparison with? The Rex Envo🎉looks aggressive, would you compare it in performance to a Muhle R41? What other razor you have in mind?
6S. There is more blade feel on the Rex. So, I’m not sure. That’s why I want to compare them. The Pearl is a knock off the the Ambassador. So, setting 3 is what Matt said. I haven’t had a good shave ever with the Pearl. I had to return the 1st Pearl because the razor wouldn’t seat a blade properly. Which I hear is a major problem from razors made in India
It's good. I have better here. The shaving balm is off the charts. Some of the best I've ever used. And I think the combination with the splash is perfect for my skin.
Your video quality and editing really sticks out from other shaving channels
I appreciate that!
I agree, the videography is really high quality.
Thanks brother@@robertcochran7103

Karve Overlander awesome too
I have the Rex Envoy, and it is my favorite DE safety razor. Excellent quality, and good looks.
Great razor
I’m a straight razor shaver and I love the 1966 soap and balm.
Me too. Do you use a straight Razor or a shavette? If iso, what razor blade are you using?
The Rex envoy is a fantastic razor, well worth the money, it’s good for daily shaving and to shave with even 2 weeks of growth, not many razors can do both, great video, the soap, splash and balm look good too 👍

Yes, I am so disappointed when I shave it's not as loud as in the video 😂😂😂
😬
I also have a sensetive neckline, but this is the first razor I have used that does not give me any irritation.
It’s a great razor and money well spent I think.
👍
David, another great razor from Rex is the Konsul give them a call they have skent and dent ones at a very good price when available.
I’m not a big fan of slant razors. But thanks for sharing so everyone knows there is such a thing as scratch and dent on the website.
I wasn’t either until I shaved with it. Only one shave so far but no irritation under my jaw line at all even after buffing both sides 3 and 4 times to get BBS. Haven’t found a razor yet that I didn’t get some irritation after that many times but YMMV

Great shaver as well

Thanks, you too!
So when it comes to stainless steel means it won’t rust ? As long as you take good care of it ?
The major benefit is stainless steel weighs more which turn it's easier to shave with and yes, it is corrosion proof
How was the razor blade? What are your 3 best medium blades in your opinion?
Not Sure. Let me think about it

Nice. I do have some of those Gilletts, but I am really stuck on the persona USA made blades in my Henson's. They just fit perfectly and there is no blade movement in the cap. With some of the Gillette razor blades, I have to ram the blade in the top cap for it to seat properly. I don't believe they manufacture as precise as personna does when it comes to fit and finish in different types of razors. Does that make sense? Have you had this issue?
@@OhioShaves I can not say that I have had that problem. Mine fit perfectly fine. I do have the habit of bending the blade in the top cap before assembling the rest of the razor so that's probably why. I'm glad though because the lower part of my neck is very sensitive. The only place I do shave at the moment. I haven't shaved with any personna blades yet because they are difficult to find where I'm from.
I have been using the henson 13 +.
Love that razor

Great review. Razor is a bit out of my price range but I was very interested to watch your review of the 1966 soap etc. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Did you review Rex ambassador?
I haven't because I'm not a big fan of the pearl flexi. It's knock off Razor
Where did you get that shaving cup?
Pet store. It’s for dogs that eat to quickly 🤣
Very cool video, thank you very much!
Thank you too!
@ohioshaves rex envoy
Really liked the sound of this one, and love that knurling on the handle.
Thanks for the review.
💈👍
How do you compare it with 6c ?
Rockwell is a smoother, shaving razor
So you’d prefer 6c over this for sure ? Just trying to understand the difference you the only one I care to watch 😁 on shaving 🪒 stuff.
Get the 6C.
@@OhioShaves copy that thanks
How would it compare to a Rockwell on a #4 Plate?
I actually gave the razor away. The Rockwell has a smoother blade feel compared to the Rex.
@ohioshaves rex envoy
Great review.The shave was effortless.Very nice razor indeed.That balm looks fantastic.I noticed your face
looks fantastic after this shave and I watch your videos all the time 😊.So that combination works fantastic 😊.I know you love Nivea but quality balm like this is worth investing a couple bucks more in my opinion.
Thanks. The slash and balm are some of the best I have ever used
@ohioshaves Rex Envoy
Great video! I don’t feel $150 for a USA stainless razor is crazy. I feel Razor emporium stuff really contributes to the community & will one day be collectors items.
How would you compare to a Rockwell 6c on a 3 plate or a Parker 78R for efficiency & smoothness?
Thanks for the quality content. I look forward to some comparison shaves you do with the Rex.
The Rockwell Razors dominate when it comes to how smooth they are in your face.
@@OhioShaves I have to 100% agree with that. The 6c is my smoothness benchmark hands down. Under the mustache ATG pass with 6c is unbeatable for me. I’ve had/have many razors but the 6c is the only razor I have 2 of just in case I drop and break 1 🤣🤣
😁
I just started double edge shaving, switching over from cartridges. Have watched several @OhioShaves videos, I went ahead and picked up the Rockwell 6C. I’m very impressed and glad I got it. I feel it cuts better without the irritation I normally get with a disposable blade. If you pick up a Rockwell 6c, you won’t be disappointed
💯
@ohioshaves rex envoy
Great shave! I’m a beginner to wetshaving and you make it look so effortless. I have a Merkur 34c but I keep getting irritation. I hope my technique improves. I’m currently experimenting with different blades to see if that helps.
Blades will make the difference

Great video, been looking a lot into the rex razors. Bought the 1955 soap and it is just the best soap I have ever used
Thanks for sharing!
Made in the USA. YES
Great selling👍
You gotta try the Konsul! One of the smoothest shaves and efficient!
If Matt sends one. I would gladly shave with it. Send him a message, Please🇺🇸
You must have so many razors what do you do with all of them?
This razor was given to me from razor emporium. So I wanted to give it away to let other people try a very high end, safety razor
Well damn… guess what I’m getting!
Let him know Who sent you?
@ohioshaves rex envoy
Great video, great content altogether.
I'm from Bosnia, and a just switched to safety razors, I'm not going back to cartridge ones.
Anyway, I've done some research, and basically here I can only buy three or four types of DE razors, the Wilkinson Sword Classic (the black plastic one), the King C Gillette, a couple of lesser known brands and that's it. For blades, it's about 5-6 brands. Anyway still enough to get into the great world od classic shaving.
Carry on with the good content.
💈👍
@ohioshaves rex envoy.
What a stunning little piece of American engineering.
💯
Another beautiful looking razor but aggressiveness on the milder side. ❤❤
I totally agree!
@@OhioShaves Waiting for your review on Rex Ambassador.🙂
That all depends on Matt over at razor Emporium. I was very happy to get this razor from him. Definitely shoot him an email and let him know every comment helps.😁
@@OhioShaves Rhodium metal Rex Ambassador cost above $400. Do tell him that we are waiting desperately for Rex Ambassador model. 🤣🤣
@ohioshaves rex envoy
Another great video. Have you thought about making one or know if there is an online platform, like Discord, for de razor users to all come together?
Cool idea! Your In
@ohioshaves rex envoy what a great shave and great razor to have in the den. Thanks for sharing
💈👍
@ohioshaves rex envoy
Thank you for the chance of winning this beautiful shaver!
👍. My pleasure. Thanks for watching
@ohioshaves Rex Envoy
This is right up there with classy, high-end razors, which just seem unfathomable in how well they are made. Way out of my league.
It’s pricey👍
@@OhioShaves a friend of mine back in the UK has one, which he lovingly calls sexy rexy
I like that. The look of the razor is 10 out of 10
I echo some of these comments - really enjoy your editing and post production. Do you always prefer to apply balm after the splash? I’ve seen quite the debate on this @ohioshaves rex envoy
I always use witch hazel and then a balm. Worked great for me. Silky smooth skin
@ohioshaves rex envoy
Thanks for the shaves & the channel.. quite a nice place to hang around
I appreciate your support
@@OhioShaves ❤👌
🤩
Nivea balm 👍🏼
Thank you much
@ohioshaves rex envoy
Great review. Rex makes beautiful instruments
Very nice. Your in. Good luck
@ohioshaves rex envoy
Great shave and review. I’m with you on buying American made products. Personna made in the USA blades are my favorite.
Right on
@ohioshaves rex envoy
Hmm might need to try some 1966. 🤷🏻♂️
Good stuff
I suspect the Rex Envoy would outlast three Merkur's. Then again, I am a bit clumsy :)
👍
The Rex Envoy just looks killer...hefty, precision, American.
Come on America. It shaves well
@ohioshaves rex envoy great video I like the looks of the razor and balm.
The balm, blow me away. Great product. Highly recommended
Impressive
😃
Been eyein the konsul recently, I think I'll bite the bullet man..
Let us know what you think
@@OhioShaves gonna be a while before I buy I think, should just satiate my hunger for new razors with this video first 😂
ngl you look good in just a goatee, kind of like the guy from disturbed 😂
@ohioshaves rex envoy Great video again, I am new at wet shaving and your channel is my favorite... Have a great day...
Awesome! Thank you!
@ohioshaves rex envoy Another good video as always I enjoy watching your videos.Take care and God bless.
Awesome thank you!
@OhioShaves another great detailed educational breakdown of wet shaving products and techniques. What razor would you do a Vs with The Rex Envoy in comparison with? The Rex Envo🎉looks aggressive, would you compare it in performance to a Muhle R41? What other razor you have in mind?
The Pearl, 6S and a couple other adjustable razors
@@OhioShaves With The Rockwell 6S, what plate is comparable to The Rex Envoy setting you used? Also same setting questions with The Pearl razor?
6S. There is more blade feel on the Rex. So, I’m not sure. That’s why I want to compare them. The Pearl is a knock off the the Ambassador. So, setting 3 is what Matt said. I haven’t had a good shave ever with the Pearl. I had to return the 1st Pearl because the razor wouldn’t seat a blade properly. Which I hear is a major problem from razors made in India
@ohioshaves rex envoy
Great video. How would you rate the soap?
It's good. I have better here. The shaving balm is off the charts. Some of the best I've ever used. And I think the combination with the splash is perfect for my skin.
@@OhioShaves, super!!! Thanks for sharing your honest views. The issue with international orders are no alcohol based splash can be shipped
Welcome 👍
Hi bro. Your face feelings indicate that it is a very aggressive razor. Why don't you try a peral flexi razor? Its very nice razor.
I have one
@@OhioShaves 👍
@ohioshaves Rex envoy Great review, like your videos. Thank you.
Welcome. ✅
@ohioshaves rex envoy
Excellent review. How about a comparison shave with a similarly priced Rockwell razor.
