New Rex Razor

[LeeMaz]

During an interview on the retro wet shaving podcast, Matt Pisarcik dropped in that he has a new adjustable razor coming out on Black Friday. It sounds like a milder version of the Ambassador, and he says it’s an adaptation of this, with a different handle, different blade guard, less aggressive and less blade positive. It’s called the consol/console. Having not tried an Ambassador I don’t know if this is a good thing, but general reviews say it’s aggressive and for me this could be another to add to my list if it’s more milder! Perhaps it’s a bit more like it’s distant sibling the Denali? @tryphon Do you know anything about it?

Perhaps the name is Consul, to go with the theme of diplomacy?

Much more likely, I knew I’d spelt it wrong!

He alumimium one he talked about also sounds interesting.

The Konsul has arrived. At $349! Ouch, never tried a slant before and doubt I would at this price, it's $100 more than the Abassador.

The handle looks beautiful!

It is not what I was expecting. From the interview I thought it would be a toned-down Rex.

That’s what I thought, it would a be an ambassador‘lite’.
It’s a beautiful handle but not $100 more beautiful in my opinion!

I agree with that.
