Very nice dude! May you have wonderful shaves with the Rex Enjoy, and hopeful that it doesn't turn into the T-Rex the Ambassador to chew your face off. I am eager to see where things go with this one. Thats a stainless razor last I checked, much like my Rex Ambassador. You should find your's to be an medium aggression, so don't be sticking no Feather blades in there. I am glad you got those Nacet's, they should work well in your razor. Lovely purchase, and good luck!
Today was a Rex Ambassador shave day.
5th use Astra SP, Gentleman's Apothecary eucalyptus shaving cream, 26mm AP Shaves synthetic brush, pre-shave soap, cold water shave.
Decent shave on setting 3, dropping down to a 2.5 for the XTG pass. Actually felt harsher on the second pass, and I got a couple of nicks, which was more down to the blade than the razor. But efficiency was good, and the shave largely smooth. The Ambassador is nicely balanced, although I really don't like the two piece design, and find getting the blade loaded a bit of a chore. TTOs and 3 pieces are much better in this regard.
Still, the Ambassador is a very nice razor.

Envoy day today
It's Envoy day every shave for me, with few exceptions. 
Ambassador Day today
I don't shave as often as I used to, but my "old faithful" combo is a Feather loaded into my Konsul set on 2-3. I've used a slant or a Fat Boy set on 10 for years, but the Konsul knocks the experience out of the park.
I'm very impressed with the Konsul to say the least!

Earlier this week.
Grew a short beard for about 8 days; couldn’t stand it any longer. Set the Konsul to Mow (6) and took it most of it down in one WTG pass. Another pass on 3 got me to DFS. Neck needed another ATG at 1. 3rd use feather blade.
