Nope. Both my excellent condition fatboy and boxed near mint slim adjustable cost much less than £150. Both fantastic razors with real history. 2 razors for less than half the price of the Rex. Not judging anyone for buying expensive razors it's just not something I would be comfortable doing.Surely you need to pay the same kind of cash for a decent vintage.
Especially in tip top condition
Here he goes again... Mr Tyranoarsus Rex (that's his porn name btw)It's called nirvana and it's where all Rex owners find themselves

You'll reach here one day
iv been looking at vintage recently but haven't seen anything under £150 but saying that I do like perfect conditionYou can buy lots of very good vintage razors for far less than the price of a Rex. On the other hand, I have spent more on a single fountain pen (twice) than a Rex costs, and I use the fountain pens far less frequently than a razor.
Sometimes that bug just gets in your head and it won't go away...I always make a joke of it but I do secretly envy those who own a Rex...but then again my own 'defence against the dark arts' spell is to chant a list of all the things I could buy with the cash instead of a Rex...and that's one hell of a lot of cool stuff for shaving or otherwise!
Point me in the right direction, The rex is bought & paid for but its nice to have a choice ahNope. Both my excellent condition fatboy and boxed near mint slim adjustable cost much less than £150.

An extremely excellent and most pertinent point...one that I wish i made myself. A Fatboy is of course the ultimate that all wet shavers crave...way beyond the Rex is owner credibility ratings (I understand the 1961 is most prized of all)Nope.

There's a brand new, never used boxed with paperwork and outer sleeve 1966 Gillette slim adjustable on Facebook marketplace. Seller wants £100. That's a bargain for a NOS never used vintage Gillette.iv been looking at vintage recently but haven't seen anything under £150 but saying that I do like perfect condition

It's gone. Somebody must have bought it. Must admit I was tempted.There's a brand new, never used boxed with paperwork and outer sleeve 1966 Gillette slim adjustable on Facebook marketplace. Seller wants £100. That's a bargain for a NOS never used vintage Gillette.

Well that's that then. BTW, when you've tried it out, don't forget to let fellow Rex owners @Boycie83 and @Dcshaves know how it went...it will cheer them up no end. They're both currently in a special home for the clinically insane...I believe they went in together for mutual support. Ahh! Isn't that nice?

Porn at its bestWe do both love our Rex Ambassador but not as much as we love winding you up about not owning one
Heres a wee picture for you.
