    Thank you, gentlemen.

    The Rex Ambassador is an excellent razor. Craftsmanship is top-notch, excellent grip, nice weight but not too heavy. For me, depending on the blade, I can adjust the gap between 2.5-3.5 and obtain BBS two pass shave. I own eight different models of adjustable razors and the Rex is neck and neck as top adjustable with my Toggle.

    Good to see you back Patrick!

    Nice setup Marine. I see that you are still having that "Pucker" up weather In Ontario.

    Sunday shave March 1st 2020- I'm kind of doing a slow marathon shave with this blade, it's amazing the longevity you can receive from a Twin II blade(Japan MFG?). It is showing signs of getting a little duller but still good for some more shaves.
    Twin blades (2).jpg


    Razor : Stick Schick injector theme razor- MFG 1973
    Blade : Schick twin II injector(29)
    Soap: Colonel Conk Bayrum- good soap- mild scent with great lather qualities IMO.
    Brush : Yaqi timber wolf 24mm - great synthetic brush.
    Pre-shave: brush wash my face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 3.
    Post shave: Razorock XXX aftershave with witch Hazel+ Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG] good shave!

    Have some great shaves!

    I suppose not.

    However, every time I've given the RR Old Type a whirl it's been with a different blade. And they're brands that work well in my Fatip Grande and RR German 37 slant. (Astra SP, Gillette Nacets & 7 O'Clocks, Personna reds, Rapira LUX, Polsilver SI, etc.)

    I'm reluctant to bother trying it again although I do like the handle which will fit the slant so it's not a total loss.

    Jeeves Turkish Bath
    Mamba head - Parker handle
    Vladimir Ferdman Cocobolo-Gamechanger

    Jeeves soaps are wonderful. I appreciate this one - therefore it's home in the old antique glass and silver powder container. I think turkish bath is now barbershop? Can someone confirm. I am going to get backup pucks! Wears well with old spice[​IMG][​IMG]

    What was your impression of the Central Texas Soaps(Sandalwood)? As you may have read from my posts here, I have two others from CTS. Actually, I need to correct that-one other aftershave(Weekend Rodeo)and two soaps(Grandpa's Barbershop and Weekend Rodeo).
