A day of firsts: Rex Ambassador

I have M3 062 and love it, but seeing the improvements done since then, I might have to order another!

I purchased one of the first 100 razors made, and recently picked up a N2 Ambassador.  I'm happy to say that the finish and operation of the razor has been greatly improved.  The Ambassador is one of the finest razors on the market IMHO.

+1  Totally agree

This razor quickens my pulse, and will be an early acquisition this coming  year. I was considering adding a RE restored Fatboy to my Fatboy/Slim collection, but this razor would bring a very fresh approach to the adjustable world of shaving.

I also am going to get one in 2019 , I think they now got all the little issues fixed

I'm waiting for them to get to the price at $199 with the savings from Cost of less time on the machines , I think I seen where he said he was hoping to get them to that cost

Or if he decides to have a sale again , the Canadian dollar is killing us

I’ve seen enough reviews on the Rex Ambassador, but what about comparisons to the Gillette Fatboy and Slim? I own both Gillette’s and what would be the incentive to buy a Rex Ambassador?

I have a slim and it doesn’t come close to the Rex, in my opinion. The Rex has a better feel to it and in easier to maneuver. I don’t like TTOs though as they seem awkward to me, so you might want to wait on more opinions.

What a great shave today. Paired it with a Topaz Platinum blade and it was near perfection. Just an excellent feeling shave with about as good a feel and balance that a razor can give. I say this because I am not a fan of the shorter handles as I like to have some maneuverability on razors in terms of hand positioning. But, the balance and weight bias of the Rex just feels so good. I have never, ever had a bad shave with this wonderfully made tool. Precise and very comfortable is what I can sum up overall as to how the Rex has performed for me. A true pleasure to use and view....
