Lord L6/GSB (1)
Gillette Super Adjustable@7/ Gillette Platinum
Rex Ambassador + GSB (1)
5th straight day using this since being delivered late last week. I've gotten this dialed-in with GSB to the point I can say this could be a daily driver for me. However, it still has more blade feel than I prefer. It's simply a "it's all about what I like" thing at this point. That being said, I love this razor for being what it is, and I'm glad it exists in the market.
I care mostly about smoothness as the vast majority of my weeks involve 6 shaves. For the past couple years, I've almost exclusively used Rockwell 6S #4 plate daily, and #6 plate on uncommon occurrences it's been 72 or more hours since previous shave. I have sold or gifted 8 razors in the last 6 months, and am currently down to 3 in my den (with a polished Haircut & Shave Co. N075 ordered last night). My quest for a smooth, high build quality/fit & finish daily driver good enough overall to displace my 6S continues.

Merkur Progress @ 2.5 w/ Perma Sharp (3) not a great performer for me in this razor, the Astra SP is still the best so far

Ooo you got the case for the Rex? How is it? Does the razor move around a lot inside?
