Looks like a scalloped ambassador.  Nice price for USA made steel adjustable

I contacted them to ask a few questions. They are not affiliated with Rex Supply or Razor emporium. They state they designed the razor from the ground up based off the gibbs. They do have a three piece razor currently in the works. Haven't seen any reviews from shave forums, just their own videos and a bunch of 5 star reviews that came in at the same time. Seems you can get 20% off by entering your email on their website.

There's a video about it in Russian that was uploaded two days ago

I sent the owners an email to see if they'd want to pass around a razor on DFS.

looks like it's a family-run business in Mesa, Arizona..

According to Matt, Razor Emporium these guys are his original machine shop and are reselling rejected Ambassadors from 2017. Look closely at the top photo and you can see the uneven head/blade gap. I'll let him chime in if he wants to give more details.

From what I saw on B&B I’d thought it was being acknowledged that they’d been affiliated with RE, but Marhos24’s post that they’re saying otherwise is a little concerning. The part about them selling older reject razors is certainly interesting though if its true…

They were early contracted machinists from 2017-2018.  They were ceased being used by Rex but apparently still have some old parts.  Buyer beware. IMHO.

RAD is just a permanently temporary condition.  I'll get over it.. eventually.

Unless I misinterpreted something, this was their reply. I did notice the blade gaps are different compared to the ones on the Rex pages, but I'm not sure how accurate that is.
