For sensitive skin, consider starting with the mildest setting. Focus on pre-shave prep and use a sharp but gentle blade.

I'd like to add that while brass may not be the most eco-friendly material, it's worth noting that Pearl Shaving's ISO 9001 certification ensures a commitment to quality and reduction of waste in their manufacturing process, which can help offset some of the environmental impact.

I'm no math whiz, but if I had a penny for every disposable cartridge I've tossed, I'd have... well, enough to buy a Rex Ambassador! Seriously, though, the upfront cost stings, but think of all the cash you'll save (and the trees you'll spare) in the long run. Worth. Every. Penny.

I think what you're looking for, OP, is a way to customize your Rex Ambassador to fit your unique shaving style. Have you considered upgrading to a DeLuxe finish option? It might just give you the edge you're looking for without breaking the bank.

I completely understand your hesitation, and it's great that you're taking the time to research and consider your options. I've been in your shoes before, and it can be overwhelming when making the switch to a DE razor. If you're still unsure, I'd recommend trying to find someone who has a Merkur 23...
