Earlier part of last year I was fortunate enough to participate in a group buy of the REX Ambassador. This was a fully stainless steel CNC machined razor taking design elements from the Gibbs adjustable. Because I do not own a Gibbs, I cannot comment on how closely it related to the Gibbs. This razor was unique in many ways, first being an adjustable stainless steel razor (for those that may think otherwise, I do not consider the Rockwell 6s to be an adjustable, just one razor with many different base plates), it had a unique serial number, and it brought back the old Gillette date/quarter codes (translating what would have been the code in 2017 had Gillette continued). Mine is N2 which is second quarter of 2018.
The razor has a top dial similar to a Gillette, however the marker moves and the numbers are stationary. Because of this, there is no marking on the base plate and top cap to align the cap properly as with the Progress.
Tonight I shaved on 3 for WTG pass, then down to 2 for ATG, then up to 4 for touch up. I have shaved with the highest setting just once and there was significant blade feel, but not significantly more efficient a shave.
