Hey Gents, I've been considering purchasing another razor. I've been doing some research and narrowed down my pickings to either the Gillette Slim Adjustable or Rex Ambassador. I just need a little help choosing between the two, price aside. Does anyone here own both razors and maybe favors one over the other? Why or why not? I'm a one razor type of guy, I don't really rotate between different razors like some users prefer. I've been using the Rockwell 6S exclusively for about a year now, just getting a bit bored of it , and thought it time for a change.
That's a really hard comparison. I don't own a slim but I have a Fatboy and a Black Beauty. I can tell you that on it's highest setting the Rex is capable of being more aggressive then any of the Gillette adjustables. It is also a very precisely made razor that exudes quality in every detail. It is however about 10x more expensive then a slim and I doubt anyone who owns both would say that it gives you a 10x better shave then the Slim(or the Fatboy or Black Beauty). I personally like the looks of the Rex better. And considering that all razors are just blade holders anyway, looks then become the deciding factor at least in my mind.
That's an interesting way of putting it. I do tend to favor a more aggressive setting on the first couple of passes..
I would go with the Rex! No, the Slim! Both! Yeah, both is the answer. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
Hrmmmm.... Neither. Write in vote for a Gillette New Improved 3 piece so you can put it on your favorite custom handle.
If the money it no object get the Rex. It's a more durable modern razor. If there is an issue with it the Razor Emporium will take care of you. If there is an issue with the Slim again Razor Emporium but will set you back for them to do it...
Hi, I have a Rockwell and first bought an additional gillette super Adjustable, later the Rex. The Gillette was sold. The Rex is by far the best though I rotate between the Rex and the Rockwell now, as the Rex made me improve technique. The Rockwell is very fool proof, the Rex requires a bit more attention but rewards you with a smooth and close shave. Go for the Rex. Gesendet von meinem Redmi Note 4 mit Tapatalk
