"Small foot print on your sink top" 😂 That’s the largest razor stand that I have ever seen!! And yes, I got it and compare it to my Timeless, Karve, Blackland stands 😊
Man,i just started(2,5 months) shaving with a safety razor brush and soap. I already have 3 soaps a pre shave, 3 after shaves and 1 eu de cologne. Nobody told me this was addicting!!hahahha. Im enjoying every shave!
Hi geo I'm a new subscriber.. I'd like to thank you for introducing me to DE shaving.. Had my first shave with the muhle r89 yesterday and I'm hooked. Really enjoying the content so keep it up mate. Also I've just placed an order for the indestructbowl and a couple of alum sticks... I'm in the UK so can't wait to receive them!
I just started DE shaving a little over a month ago, also have the Muhle R89. Still trying to find a soap and blade I like. I notice shaving is something I look forward to now instead of finding excuses to not shave like I did with disposables
I got the T3 yesterday. Amazing brush and gonna shave with it today using my AS D2 feather with a Tiger blade just to see what a tiger blade feels like compared to feather or Kai.
9:07 - let's be honest. It's taking off your beard that good mainly because you using feather blade. Razor always playing secondary role as a blade holder. Yes there's factors like a blade gap, exposure, angle of the razor. That's play it's part also. But feather blade is the feather blade. It would cut great even if you use it in the mildest razors.
Rex razors are such all-American classics. That itself is a big part of their appeal to me. And stainless steel razors are always hard to resist. I love them dearly. I now think the Envoy is actually a better deal than the Ambassador. It’s basically the same razor - the only difference being that the Ambassador is adjustable, the Envoy is not. But the Envoy is exactly half the price. And a ‘medium’ setting is just alright. I’m getting it soon. Thanks Geo for this great shave review and helping me decide.
Hi Geo, I received this razor yesterday and was amazed at how efficient it was. Beautifully engineered razor. I like my T3 brush too. Another great video Sir! Dave.
Geo, I've had my eye on this one for a few weeks now. The full beard you shaved off should match my every other day coarse hair shaves. Looks like a purchase button is getting pushed soon, suh'!
I received my Rex Envoy yesterday. It's not really mild but it is incredibly efficient. The quality or the tooling is superb! Very impressed as it was my first shave with it. Dave.
Hi Geo- Great shave and razor review; thank you! The Envoy is definitely a beautiful razor and built like a tank. I hope you are doing well. Take good care, be safe and have a great weekend ahead. Best regards, as always, Geo!
Humphrey Bogart maybe? 😊 Question, which will be softer and less ‘scratchy’, Simpson synthetic trafalgar T2 or their chubby 2 synthetic? Grateful for anyone’s views please.
It's definitely the Chubby 2 Synthetic. bit.ly/Chubby2SyntheticBrushSN My opinion and several others who are proud owners of both. bit.ly/TrafalgarSyntheticBrushSN
Pity the shipping costs are so prohibitive but it does look like a nice razor - I have the standard Rex Ambassador one and it is perfect though my go-to at the moment is the Feather popular or the Rockwell Model T but I do like the TOBS my favourite cream :-D
Yo Geo, I am new to wet shaving and probably too young for it😂(17 years old) Ι got a TOBS st. James collection and I want to know what you think... Can you please do a shave using this cream (and Lucky tiger bay rum afterwards).... I would love to see it,cheers form Greece🖐🖐🖐
I noticed in many videos that these simpson brushes do not really hold on to the lather very well. Cream flies all of over the place and yet most of the reviews are praising the brushes. Isnt that a deal breaker?
What do you think of 6S vs Envoy besides adjustability? Does the finish of Envoy makes it glide smoother? Does one shave better than the other? I am using 6C, in a dilemma whether I should get 6S for cheap or save up for Envoy in the future.
Envoy is not adjustable, 6S is flippable... If you already have a flippable razor then go for the envoy: shavenation.com/products/rex-envoy-safety-razor-choose-your-serial-number
Hy Geo, I just purchased the Simpson Polo12 wich is a hudge brush, and i got this problem with my brush stand it simply wont fit in there, so maybe you can help me on this one. Thank you, Best regards from Austria Vienna, Saša
I bought a sample pack of blades and in there was a a pack of astra blades I noticed numbers denoting 1 and 2 in previous reviews not these blades had no numbers can anyone enlighten me.
How aggressive is this razor? I have the Edwin Jagger DE89. Is it about the same, more or less aggressive? I use the Astra Superior Platinum blades (green box).
I have both the Rockwell 6S and the Rex Envoy. Both are good razors. The Rockwell is not as aggressive as the Envoy. To me the Envoy seems to be between a Rockwell 4 to 5 plate. The 6S is my daily driver.
Hey Geo. Do you sell a stand for the Simpson. T-3? I sent your business the same question and received a recommendation for a $50 stand. I’m not interested in paying $50 for a $35 brush. Do you have something more reasonable? Oh, I did buy my T-3 from you.
Hi geofatboy, I have suffered with skin issues for about 25 years now - acne and seborrheic dermatitis on the face. I have always shaved with cartridge razors. I am going to buy a safety razor and was thinking of getting the Edwin Jagger DE89 (I watched your video on it) - would you recommend this one to me? Also what shaving cream would you recommend me? I was thinking to find a shaving cream or gel or foam whatever without oil and without alcohol and SLS and without any other ingredients that may irritate my skin but is proving difficult for me to find such a product. I look forward to your reply. Many thanks.
Nice video as always. Man down! Lmao how does this compare in your opinion to the ambassador? And how does the fatboy rate compared to the ambassador? Thanks
Geo only knows about quality products. Aliexpress products aren’t welcome at shave nation, and thats a good thing! Yaqi is Chinese sweatshop stuff booooooooo 👎🏻 Rex is American as Apple Pie, yaaaaaayyyyy!!!!! 👍🏼 Just Kidding Erick I’d say the knight helmet is a little more aggressive but the envoy is not a mild razor
I have both the Envoy and the Feather (and the Rex Ambassador too). Out of all 3, the Envoy is nice and simple, beautifully weighted and gives a great shave. True what he says about it being same as a 3 on the Ambassador. Both Rex Razors outshave the Feather by miles in my opinion.
Hi geo, I have a problem. I’m choosing between buying a t2 or t3. I wanted to know if there is any difference performance wise, besides just travel? I’m not sure if one can recommend the t2 if you have a smaller face or smaller beard. I want to get the t3, and my face is long, but my facial is thin. Hope you can help, thanks! I’m buying my supplies from shave nation, by the way!
@@geofatboy it wasn't until yesterday that I saw the ones that are affordable. When I first visited ur website the cheapest showed a $60 something but it wasn't until I type ur website in on Google and scroll down and clicked safety razor than I found less expensive ones. Ur website is quite nice, there are so many nice looking razors too chose from. I'm definitely planning on buying from ur website.
I’m completely new to DE shaving, but I think I’d like to start with this razor, from Shave Nation. You have the serial number of my address, and your business is right up the road a bit from my mom. It’s fate.
Hope we get to see you cut your hair again! My wife would like to ask if you have anything for women? Perhaps your wife could do some shows for the gals!!! I do like the Envoy. Do you ship to Canada?
Really? Another haircut video? OK-I have something in mind for another one. Thanks. And- we do have an entire ladies section for her to check out: shavenation.com/collections/ladies
I need this razor to go with my 6 other razors.
"Small foot print on your sink top" 😂 That’s the largest razor stand that I have ever seen!! And yes, I got it and compare it to my Timeless, Karve, Blackland stands 😊
Geo, I always enjoy your videos. I like your sense of humor . Your delivery always makes me laugh. "Man Down." That really cracked me up.
Thanks! I appreciate that.
I agree that it's a great looking razor. Feels super in the hand, and I love the handle length.
Man,i just started(2,5 months) shaving with a safety razor brush and soap. I already have 3 soaps a pre shave, 3 after shaves and 1 eu de cologne. Nobody told me this was addicting!!hahahha. Im enjoying every shave!

Thank you for your support. Enjoy your new indestructibowl!
Great review! A top class safety razor with excellent quality! 👋😀👍
Thanks for watching and sharing!
Perfect shave Geofatboy as always ❤
and the razor was so good !
Thanks Sam!
Think I'm sold on it. Be my first safety razor. Allways wanted to use one or a strait razor.
I got the T3 yesterday. Amazing brush and gonna shave with it today using my AS D2 feather with a Tiger blade just to see what a tiger blade feels like compared to feather or Kai.
GeoFATBOY going with a T2 setting, how fitting
You mean like Terminator 2?
Nice very nice. Love from GREECE
Who else want to touch his face to feel how smooth that is?
Ha Ha!!! Nice! Free Feels!

Thanks Sajjad! It is a beauty, made in USA, all stainless, great shaving, cool stand... As I said in the vid-What's not to like?
Thank you for sharing another great razor review. 🇨🇦😎
Thanks Paul!
Nice looking razor and brush there, Geo. Thanks for sharing the video!
Thanks Spectre!
Hi Geo, sooner or later I will buy this razor, even his adjustable brother, too bad I can't do it with you for customs duties. A hug. 👋🇮🇹
Thank you for the video geo I realy like this bowl and the color and the most important work perfect no problem make my lather thank you.
Thanks Edgar-I'm glad you like your new bowl.
*I Envy the Envoy* 😁
Ice is on his game!
I am buying this for sure
I like that you always have a little bit of hair growth. Keep it up geo!
On my head or on my face?
@@geofatboy your face of course! We want you to have something to shave to demo the products!

@@geofatboy will do. I grabbed some other necessities from your site yesterday. Glad to see somebody here in the States with the new Proraso products.
You forgot the alum bar after shaving! I always like your videos.
Amazing shave and video Geo!
Thanks Sam!
That's one mild razor I think I would love my Rex Ambassador
There are many milder...
I received my Rex Envoy yesterday. It's not really mild but it is incredibly efficient. The quality or the tooling is superb! Very impressed as it was my first shave with it.
Dave.
Nice!!!!
Watched geo shave - and you have a great day!!
Big man! Is back ♥️
Where you been? I've been putting out 2 vids per week since Christmas! Thanks though!
Hi Geo- Great shave and razor review; thank you! The Envoy is definitely a beautiful razor and built like a tank. I hope you are doing well. Take good care, be safe and have a great weekend ahead. Best regards, as always, Geo!
Thanks for watching Mike, it is quite sturdy. Take care.
Lol, I read the title as 'Razor Envy'!
Now that I look at it again I can def see how that might happen!
Rex is out of........ ?glad you gave the blade gap! Thanks! Have a great shave, have a great day!
Out of?
geofatboy Rex company is out of Arizona.... looked it up.... US made
I have s sample of jermyn street it smells great
Agreed! A favorite among sensitive skin types.
Love it!! Interesting design! 👍
Thanks Mike!
Awesome razor now I want it! Lol
Still have a few left!

@@geofatboy Many thanks for your helpful reply 👍
Love your videos. I’ve got a Parker 87r coming tomorrow. Can you do a review on it? Thanks
87R-I'll check into it. I guess there are a few Parker razors I haven't done yet!
That would be cool. By the way I got it this morning and I love it. Very efficient. Short handle with good weight.
For a full stainless steel razor and made in US its a bargain. And in addition to that the razor looks sharp.
Right on both counts Werner!
Lol “Man Down”
Wow, that´s a fantastic design. Are you sure it´s not a German razor? ;)
Maybe the designer has German blood in him...
Pity the shipping costs are so prohibitive but it does look like a nice razor - I have the standard Rex Ambassador one and it is perfect though my go-to at the moment is the Feather popular or the Rockwell Model T but I do like the TOBS my favourite cream :-D
We are always looking for alternative (cheaper) methods of shipping!
@@geofatboy Yep I went ahead and ordered one for the heck of it you only live once eh? :-D
Yo Geo, I am new to wet shaving and probably too young for it😂(17 years old)
Ι got a TOBS st. James collection and I want to know what you think... Can you please do a shave using this cream (and Lucky tiger bay rum afterwards)....
I would love to see it,cheers form Greece🖐🖐🖐
Don’t use TOBS. Use Trumper’s. Far superior.
Hi Dennis. Age is not a factor, you should start shaving when your beard grows. It's not really about age.
6:23 "Got a nice cup of lather already" Licks lips
Num Num.....
I noticed in many videos that these simpson brushes do not really hold on to the lather very well. Cream flies all of over the place and yet most of the reviews are praising the brushes. Isnt that a deal breaker?
You need to shake out most of the water, then you're good. Only on the synthetics, not badgers.
@@geofatboy okay thanks. Ordered the T2 thanks to your review. Will keep the lifehack in mind while making the lather !
Geo, I went to your website, but could not find the shave stand for the Envoy nor the Shave Nation shaving bowl. Excellent video, BTW.

What was your order number? I'll check stands for fitment if we have that brush in stock.
I bought a sample pack of blades and in there was a a pack of astra blades I noticed numbers denoting 1 and 2 in previous reviews not these blades had no numbers can anyone enlighten me.
Enlightened! czcams.com/video/FVcJ3WayzRw/video.html
i use an edwin jager de89. Would this be a nice upgrade?
North to south then up bbs ..
The secret to my success!
How aggressive is this razor? I have the Edwin Jagger DE89. Is it about the same, more or less aggressive? I use the Astra Superior Platinum blades (green box).
It's in the video...
This is better from the ambassador ?
If you prefer a non-adjustable, then yes...
Hello Geo. How would you compare it against Rockwell 6s?
I have both the Rockwell 6S and the Rex Envoy. Both are good razors. The Rockwell is not as aggressive as the Envoy. To me the Envoy seems to be between a Rockwell 4 to 5 plate. The 6S is my daily driver.
is it mild safety razor?

Nice video as always. Man down! Lmao how does this compare in your opinion to the ambassador? And how does the fatboy rate compared to the ambassador? Thanks
how does this compare to the Yaqi Helmet Knight?
Don't know what that is... These names though...
Geo only knows about quality products. Aliexpress products aren’t welcome at shave nation, and thats a good thing! Yaqi is Chinese sweatshop stuff booooooooo 👎🏻
Rex is American as Apple Pie, yaaaaaayyyyy!!!!! 👍🏼
Just Kidding Erick I’d say the knight helmet is a little more aggressive but the envoy is not a mild razor
I get heavy beard hair to man ever shaved your head with a de razor before?
No, I have not shaved my head.... Yet!
Nice review- how does it rate against the Feather AS-D2?
I have both the Envoy and the Feather (and the Rex Ambassador too). Out of all 3, the Envoy is nice and simple, beautifully weighted and gives a great shave. True what he says about it being same as a 3 on the Ambassador. Both Rex Razors outshave the Feather by miles in my opinion.
Hey mr fat boy how often do you trim up or shave the neck under the beard?
Every couple of days, I don't like that messy look. Keep it clean and neat!
Hi geo, I have a problem. I’m choosing between buying a t2 or t3. I wanted to know if there is any difference performance wise, besides just travel?

Undecided? Go with the T2. It's right down the middle. Compromise...
The razors on ur website are so expensive
He needs to make a living too
Really? They range from Like $10 on up... What do you pay for a razor and where are you located? We're no more expensive than anywhere else.

Well, my motto is: I can´t afford to buy cheap. But it took me a few decades to learn that lesson.
Can this razor be ordered with longer handle ?
Now they have a longer handle available

Karma works in mysterious ways... That razor is calling your name!
So the razors u sell do u and ur crew make them
Me and my crew do not make the razors...
Synthetic doesn’t hold the heat. Not very good in my opinion.
Water retention is different as well. I still prefer the badger...
