"Great razor"
"For me it was a little learning curve but as soon as I got the hang of it, it’s been great. I use it regularly and is now my go to razor."
"Well designed and machined. Very mild but super efficient. For someone with sensitive skin, this is a great choice. Definitely the best safety razor I've ever used. My only complaint is that mounting the blade is a bit tricky, and quite frankly, a cutting hazard, compared to butterfly-style razors."
"I am adding to my review below after trying many different blades in the Rex Konsul. The Kai is excellent and comfortable shave at the 2-2.5 setting. The Personna Platinum, Astra, Wilkinson Sword and Rockwell are great performers at this setting. The Parker did not impress me at all and I did not like it at any setting. With the aforementioned blades you can shave WTG, XTG at 2-2.5 but when ATG you might have to open it all the way up OR learn to pull your skin taught. Now..with a Feather Hi Steel Stainless blade? You must keep in mind that it is super sharp and works best in a Feather Feather AS-D2 which has a blade gap of .27. The Konsul dials down to .23 I believe. The Feather blade is a butcher in most razors that have a larger blade gap then the Feather AS-D2 but it's perfect for that razor. If you set your Konsul at a 1 you will get a very close and smooth shave from a Feather blade. If you set it any higher it will razor burn the crap out of your face. That was a mistake I made the first time I tried Feather in the Konsul at 2.5-4 setting. Otherwise this is a very good adjustable razor."
"This is a great razor for a course beard (they all are when they turn gray) and soft sensitive skin. My first DE razor was a plastic/metal butterfly adjustable Feather; a good intro razor but with the Feather blades I had bad razor burn, nicks and weepers. I bought a Rex Konsul razor and with both a Feather and Kent of Inglewood blade I had razor burn but almost no nicks or cuts. Then I tried a Kai blade in the Konsul. It is a night and day difference from the Kai to the Feather and Kent. No cuts, no nicks and minimal razor burn. It's a much thinner blade then the other two but outperforms them hands down in that particular razor. I think I will try a Kai in the Feather razor just to see how it performs in that. So far I am highly impressed. I almost don't want to try about 6 other blades after experiencing the Kai matched with the Rex (but I probably will.) This is a good solid razor and looks built to last a long time. As far as the price? Buy once cry once. Stainless steel made in the USA."
"A high quality , very well built razor that gives close and comfortable smooth shaves. It’s well weighted and with its knurled grip on handle , it will never slip from hands no matter how wet they get. Mounting blades can be a little tricky, but not a deal breaker though , and easy once you get the knack."
"The Konsul is pricey, but the build quality is top-notch and it provides an incredibly smooth shave. There’s almost no blade feel on the mid-to-lower settings. I have a sensitive neck, so I love being able to dial the razor down mid-shave to get an irritation-free pass. And there’s no need to loosen the blade to perform the adjustments which is convenient. My only real problem with the Konsul is I have a good collection of other razors that I no longer want to use!"
"If you want to splurge on a razor, I would recommend the Konsul. Just enough blade feel to feel it shaving."
