My Experiences with Rex Supply Co Ambassador XL and Laser Ultra Triple Coated Edges
Day 1: A Pleasant Surprise
Equipment:
- Machine: Rex Supply Co Ambassador XL (Setting 2 on first pass, 1 on second).
- Blade: Laser Ultra Triple Coated Edges (#1).
- Preparation: Proraso White Pre-Shave.
- Foam: Truefitt and Hill Apsley.
- Brush: ZENITH 507MC MB Manchurian.
- Foam Bowl: Fine Accoutrements.
- After Shave: Saponificio Varesino Cubebe.
The result was excellent: smooth feel and perfect cut without any irritation. I can’t wait for the next shave!
Day 2: A Dose of Freshness
Equipment: Similar to the previous day, but with a different shaving cream (Truefitt and Hill West Indian Limes) and matching after shave.
The shave was comfortable, and the scent of West Indian Limes proved fresh and refreshing. Despite initial skepticism about the fragrance, its over 6-hour longevity won the day.
Day 3: Incomparable Comfort
Using the same Laser Ultra blade (#3) and my favorite products, the shave was just perfect. Irritation was non-existent, showing the superior quality of the equipment.
Day 4: Meringue from Cubebe
Changing to soap making with Saponificio Varesino Cubebe made all the difference. Although there was slight irritation on the cheeks due to persistence, the cream created with the Manchurian brush was reminiscent of meringue, offering comfort and pleasure.
Day 5: The End of the Blade
Using Mitchell’s Wool Fat as a shaving soap and the Laser Ultra blade (#5), the result was satisfactory. However, the blade started to lose its sharpness, and I noticed slight pulling on the skin. I decided to retire the blade after five shaves, a remarkable performance.
Conclusions
The combination of the Rex Supply Co Ambassador XL with the Laser Ultra Triple Coated Edges blades provides excellent results. With the right preparation and the right products, you can achieve a professional shave at home without irritation.
Try the experience yourself!
