REX Supply Company S/N Date Code Error - Some "W2" Marked Codes Made in W1 Quarter of 2026

Here is my early March, 2026 production REX Polished Envoy, S/N 25352W2, showing the error \"W2\" date code that should have read 'W1' for first quarter per the W1 SN range of 24803-25594.

I purchased this new REX Supply Co, Polished Envoy safety razor, directly through their web page on March 3rd, 2026. It was packaged and shipped out on March 9th, and delivered to me on March 14th. I've been very happy with it, the machining is perfect and the finish is simply gorgeous; it shaves incredibly well too! The only thing I did notice though, was it has a 'W2' date code on the serial number (25352W2). That should mean this was made during the second quarter of 2026 (April 1 - June 30) according to their web page chart, linked here, where the 'W' means 2026 and the number is the year-quarter of production. However, the second quarter doesn't even start until April 1st, and this was mid-March. I reached out to the company on March 15th, and they realized this error and corrected the date codes back to W1 for the remainder of the month's production run. Looks like they simply switched over to the W2 date code by accident on March 1st, instead of April 1st, and this wasn't noticed until I discovered it.

That means there are roughly ~130 REX Supply Co razors out there made between March 1st and March 15th, that have serial numbers falling within the W1 production range (24803-25594), which are inadvertently marked with a W2 date code. These error codes started with SN 25314, going up to around SN 25444.

I just wanted to get this very obscure information out onto the internet now, for archival purposes.

Now for the real question, who thinks these ~130 or so date code error 'W2' etched, W1 produced REX razors will become incredibly collectable and sought after in 100 years? Lol, I sure hope so! I'll try to take good care of mine.

Anyone else get one of these W2 error code razors?
