How does it compare to the Gibbs? Is it as good, as smooth, or is it too early to say? Thanks. P.Pre: Cold water face wash

First of all many thanks to @Blackmass for lending me this beautiful razor, cheers Rob.
I've been itching to try this razor ever since reading the head was based on my favourite adjustable DE, the Gibbs.
At first glance the Ambassador looks very similar to the Gibbs but on further inspection the head is larger with a thicker SB. The handle is about a centimetre longer and it comes in 40g heavier.
My last shave was about 18hrs ago, so not a great test for its efficiency but a good test for its smoothness and I found it quite smooth for a first shave.
It's rather heavy for such a compact razor and gravity alone provides more than enough pressure.
As with most razors new to me I use an alum block afterwards and there was a bit of sting, I'll put that down to the weight and my inexperience with the Ambassador.
All in all I'm pretty impressed and not just with its looks.
Have a great weekend everyone.

I found the Gibbs more instinctive but I think that's just a weight thing and with practice the Ambassador will become just as easy to use.How does it compare to the Gibbs? Is it as good, as smooth, or is it too early to say? Thanks. P.
Thanks for the loan and I'm sure I will.Thanks for the tag mate. Enjoy.
