I agree. WHEN YOU HAVE TIME it would be really cool to see one video from start to finish.

The Rex Ambassador is following Gillette style date code. Can somebody please explain why 2017 year is "M" and 2018 is "N"?

Because N comes after M. I think Gillette went A - Z then started over. The date coding is a letter followed by a number, which is the quarter, so anything produced now would be N2.

That I understood, like we are getting N2, 2nd quarter razors of 2018. Why instead of "A", Rex has started with "M" in 2017?.....Thats my question.

I figured if We were to follow in any razor companies foot steps it might as well be the biggest and most Well known. Many other companies have numbering systems but few are fully known like gillette. Their system has been in place since 1931.

Don’t forget they skipped Q.

Thx

Wow ! I am unable to express the joy - it's like I used to see my baby being developed as a foetus and then it was delivered !

The Rex Ambassador razor almost gives me a similar feeling technology wise that is.

Great workmanship and attention to detail which is perhaps what will make this group buy so unique !

Thank you so much Matt

Why did they skip Q? Look too much like a zero or O?
