Ah!  Generosity.  There's a rumor going around that it's better than pills (and no surprise in your case  Happy2  Happy2).

2nd use on the Rex Konsul and Razor Emporium Soap. I think I took the soap to far with water as it was a lower structure and thinner lather. It was still stable and gave adequate protection/slickness for me to skate around my face with the Konsul at it's highest setting of 6.5 which was still a comfortable and drama free shave. Did not even reopen the pimple removal of yesterday. I sit here BBS with no irritation and no weepers. I will try a Wizamet blade tomorrow which is my typical go to blade. Have a stellar day everyone !

3rd and final shave with the Konsul Slant Adjustable by Rex. Thanks Matt at Rex/Razor Emporium and andrewjs18 for doing this pass around. Great smooth shave again on setting 6.5 which is as far as it goes. Final thoughts on the razor in addition to the thoughts on the 1st shave are on the 2 videos. Razor has been cleaned and given a swish in alcohol. It will be boxed up today and sent to next participant Monday Morning (Tomorrow). Have a great day !

Nice review, Dave. I appreciated the comparison to a more slanted razor, and your honest comments. No bashing, just honest opining!
