I’ve had the Ambassador in my den since 2020, and it’s the one I reach for most often. I always pair it with a Nacet, and that combination goes through a week’s worth of growth like a hot knife through butter.

Great video. I have both the Ambassador and Konsul in gold. I lean towards the ambassador over the Konsul. I know the price is hefty, but I always tell people to watch for Matt’s scratch and dent sale. I got both of them through that and paid a fraction of the price. They’re both fully functional and the cosmetic imperfections are borderline non existent. And honestly, I’d still take my ‘48 Aristocrat over both.

Hey Ken, Congratulations on owing an ambassador. I own 2 Rex ambassadors and 1 Konsul. Those are my daily razors and I wouldn’t trade them for anything else out there. The built quality of those razors is superb! Mat has done an amazing job! I’ve heard there is a Rex adjustable butterfly coming up (fat boy style) Looking forward to that.

Great shave Ken. Jealous of the lovely weather you are having over there. Currently it's 7C here in the UK in Cumbria. Love the Ambassador, I got mine back in summer 2019 and it still impresses me now. Fantastic quality, and the knurling is the best I've experienced on any razor. I only wish the Konsul had used the same knurling on it, rather than the one Matt chose for it. I got the standard version as the place I purchased from in the UK only stocked that model. I'm not sure if the additional finishes etc are only available direct from Razor Emporium. With import duties/tax from US parcels to the UK, it makes a lot of the great retailers you have in the US too expensive and I only purchase direct from the US when I have no other option in the UK to purchase from, which is a shame. I find the Ambassador is certainly a very blade forward/a razor you get a lot of blade feel, but I absolutely love this.

Engineers have disigned the razors we see on your great and practical videos. please bring some explainatory engineering to the videos - it will be cool. Best regards form the land of danish design.

All I know is that when I shave with what I think is a Med Prep and then shave with what I think is a Lab Blue, I can't tell any difference. I also know I won't buy any blades from the "new" manufacturer because their "new" price is a ripoff.

Cool eagle sighting, Ken! That's such a great razor. It feels like a tank. I was lucky enough to get one in immaculate shape on eBay for $118, complete with the box. I recently switched to Bic blades. They're made in Greece, and don't have any other facilities in other countries to switch to. It just seems like a more stable political situation, and the blades feel fantastic in every razor, especially the Ambassador. Have you tried the Gillette Winner blades? They're very similar to their Wilkinson Swords. They have an Indian cricket player on the wrapper, so I can't see them moving production out of India for blades intended for the Indian market.
