Used a 1940 Feather SE that my father gave me at 16 yrs. Then a 1953 DE dad gave me. Now have same problem he had, hands shaking. The Rex fixed that. It's weight and precision along with Kai blade set at 3 did the job just fine.

Let me start out by saying as the title says that this razor is pure perfection. I have began using the Ambassador exclusively in my shave den and it continues to give me the best shaves of my life. The proof for me came when I tried a feather blade with it. I have never been able to comfortably use feather blades in any of my other razors both adjustable and non-adjustable. I have a very sensitive face and the Rex Ambassador tamed the feather blade. It made it super comfortable to use on my face. The design of the razor is simply beautiful. It has some elements that remind you of a vintage razor but the 316L stainless steel reminds you that this is an adjustable made for the 21st century. The balance point being directly under the adjustment nut makes it super easy to hold the razor in the perfect position and find the correct blade angle. Anyone who has ever watched the youtube videos that Matt makes for Razor Emporium can tell you his knowledge of razors is immense and when I heard he was creating his own razor I knew I had to have it. The attention to detail in the Rex Ambassador is second to none and unlike anything I've ever seen in a razor. I've heard some people knock the price tag of the Ambassador. Honestly after using this razor I would have been willing to pay double the asking price. There honestly is real value in paying a higher price for higher quality materials and craftsmanship. As someone who has used dozens of razors varying in price I can tell you that materials and craftsmanship does matter and this razor is the best one of them all. Great job to Matt and everyone else at Rex Supply. I cannot wait to see what new products fall under the Rex Supply line in the future.

It's great to see fine safety razors made in the USA again! I own the Ambassador as well as modern competitors' products and the Rex Ambassador wins in every category. Great detail, feel, and workmanship.

I've seen people here compare the Ambassador to the Rockwell 6S. I'm not here to complain about the 6S, but apart from the fact you can change the base plate on the Rockwell to alter the aggressiveness of your shave, this is like comparing a kitten to a jaguar. And I very much like the 6S. It's just not a good comp and as such, not in the same conversation. The Ambassador is an amazing razor, one of my four favorite high-end razors, and the only one among them which is adjustable. Someone mentioned the Ambassador 'fails to replicate the features of the late 50s/early 60s Gillette Adjustables'. It wasn't supposed to! The Ambassador is modeled on the Gibbs Adjustable head, a French adjustable from 10-20 years before Gillette crossed the finish line on the 195. And that's where the comparison ends, because the Gibbs doesn't hold a candle to this. For modern machining, fit and finish, tight tolerances, infinite adjustability, incredible heft and weight in the hand (while not unwieldy at all) and the best knurling I've ever seen, the Ambassador beats all other adjustable razors for comfort and quality of shave. If I had to knock just one thing, I'd say it's not an inexpensive razor. But it's aimed at high-end users, and there are even more expensive non-adjustable modern DE razors out there. What's clear to me is that Rex Supply Co has delivered a high-end, high-tech, heirloom quality adjustable razor, and that there is no other adjustable whose performance comes close to measuring up. The Ambassador is top of class.
