This is Rex Supply Co's 'Konsul' the only adjustable stainless steel slant razor available from the US, and new brother to the popular Amassador. Doing design in straight lines and curves that are mirrored on opposing sides is one thing, but throwing the complexity of an adjustable slant into the mix is next level business. As with all of their products, durability is a given and this was also designed for a lifetime's worth of uses, it is made in the good ol' US of A and built from marine grade stainless steel, this badboy 'trumps' up a storm, and will send your migrant razors scurrying to all corners of the den trying to secure a chance to remain in your 'shaving democracy' The Konsul promises a shaving experience in both closeness and comfort, and will provide a 'blade neutral' feel with the efficiency of a slant, you be the judge, shaving action speaks better than a liberal buttering of promises.
The razor was developed by non-political wet shaving enthusiasts to deliver a fully customizable shaving experience. A slant razor is a highly efficient tool that removes coarse stubble effortlessly and does not irritate sensitive skin. The action was inspired by the French guillotine, and perfected by the Germans, a slant razor is a great option for shavers who have coarse beard combined with sensitive skin as it works with a slicing motion. Rex Co wanted to pay tribute to this slant's roots in German shaving history, but also wanted to express it as equal to the ranking of their 'Ambassador' razor, and the name Konsul was chosen. Imagine that, a 'slanted', 'adjustable' razor that identifies with conservative authority...now that is progressive!
The razor is quite heavy, and the weight combined with the slant action has to get one wondering about blade feel, efficiency and performance, this is not a razor many will own, and certainly no lazy German plodding along in crocs & socks, this is hardcore Kommando Spezialkräfte stuff! The razor features their new handle technology named 'Diamond grip', adding some serious pulling power in seperating you from your cash.
The Konsul is infinitely adjustable, making it easy to find the best possible blade exposure for your skin. Just turn the integrated dial up or down to adjust the amount of blade gap for a milder or more aggressive shave. It is fully compatible with any double edge blade, giving you lots of options and combinations to “dial-in” a consistently perfect shaving experience. After just a few passes, you’ll find the razor glides across the skin almost effortlessly, while leaving behind a noticeably soft, clean and fully groomed path.
Each razor features an individual serial number and a manufacturing code that adheres to the classic Gillette® product dating system.
The razor has a lifetime warranty. It will be delivering great shaves way beyond a single term, any president, or an era...pull the trigger on this one...but not within 'earshot' of the missus!
