First shave with the Envoy
Rex Envoy
Kai stainless blade
Rex Supply Barber Shop shave soap u(enclosed with pass around Envoy)
Omega wood handle boar
The finish is first class and the grip is second to none with deep knurling. I believe the length of the handle (chunky) and head suppose to mimic the old Gillette razors. I get it and it works for me. I normally do only two passes and I kept to that system of shaving. First pass with the grain and across the grain (chin area). Blade feel (exposure) is perfect without causing irritation. Second pass was against the grain and same results. After two passes my face and neck were BBS. I really like this razor and its performance. I will use the razor four more times or until the blade dulls out. For $125 for 316 stainless steel razor made in the USA its a bargain. Nice work Matt.

I really like the shave soap from Homelikeshaving. Lathers very easy even in hard water.
Second shave as good as the first. Zero irritation and and a smooth and close shave. I can do this in my sleep. If you are looking for a mid aggressive razor that gets the job done this is it.
