It is very well made, no issues to report. I really love the branding and serial number, all manufacturers should do this in my opinion. When I loaded a blade and looked at the side profile I thought I was in for some trouble. The bottom plate does not extend out very far on the blade so I knew there would be some blade chatter. The gap also looked larger than what I normally use and the blade exposure was positive. I was cautious during the shave and could hear lots of feedback and I knew where the blade angle was at all times. After the shave was over I thought for sure I would have some weepers on my neck and some irritation. This razor feels similar to the Blackbird when it shaves (for me anyway). But after the shave was over I not only had no weepers but also no irritation. That was the confusing part. It felt more aggressive than apparently it was (to me it feels like the Ambassador on setting 4). I get a really close shave without any issues using it daily which makes me a happy camper. There is no other razor in my collection quite like it. I really do enjoy this razor a lot. I'm not used to a razor being so clear in the blade feel and delivering a shave with no irritation. This is really a unique razor that I feel everyone should experience. Also, I have the Ambassador and I think I like the Envoy better. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense since they have the same design profile but what can I say, it is what it is.
Interesting feedback thanks!
Out of curiosity what serial number is your ambassador?
Thx
