First shave this morning with the O series Rex I just got from a honourable member of this forum (thanks @TheChrisC).
I have to say that the finish is a lot better than the N series, almost no machine marks and the knurling is a lot more refined. As stated before, the spring is a lot stiffer.
I can confirm that for me the first 3 settings are not effective at all, the razor starts becoming alive on #4. I had a nice deep shave on #6 and #5 with a couple of nicks (not the razor’s fault, but just a reminder that you can get nicks with this razor, unlike the Fatboy!).
Now, the reason I sold my first Rex was the drag, i.e. this feeling of the hair being pulled rather than cut. I experienced this again this morning but not as much as I remember. I want to give this Rex more time and start playing with angles. I should be getting my overclocked Fatboy today or tomorrow so I’ll post some comparisons.
