With the right blade, the Rex is efficient but smooth. I appreciate this is completely subjective but the Rex on #2 feels like a Fatboy on #5 for me. Strangely I've got the other feeling with the Personnas in that they feel like they're lacking the desired sharpness. I'm going to give a Treet Platinum a go in the Rex soon as I was impressed by that blade despite initially preparing myself for disappointment.Thanks for the info about your favourite Yaqis. The Rainbow has a faux horse knot and they are different fibres to the others, they seem to be thinner. I find it a good brush but if I was nitpicking it doesn't release the lather as well as some others, I find at the end of the shave it seems to hold onto lather in the middle of the brush a little more than my Yaqi synths.
I presume the Rex is a bit more on the efficient side of things? I've found Personna Reds and Crystals are a bit more on the efficient side of things, and I can just manage to use them for the mildest razors I own!

A post night shift shave. It was a bad night and a worse day. The eldest of our 3 dogs has been going downhill and was scheduled to visit the vet this afternoon. Unfortunately when I got up early afternoon he had already passed so the rest of the day was spent organising a cremation .
I decided to go for something simple this evening and ended up with a really nice 3 pass shave.
