Definitely an improvement on psycho-man. I could live with that. Looking forward to some more southern scenes you may have in the future.

To answer sj184, yes, the ATT slants do twist or torque the blade in a similar way to the Merkur slants. Beautiful machining on all the ATT items.

Re: RE: Above The Tie Slants
Perfect thanks. If the heads fit on my ikon SE handle that would be great. I guess purchasing is only available directly with ATT at the moment?
Here's what I like about the ikon 102 after just 1 shave:
Smooth smooth smooth
Well made
Efficient
Blade alignment is so easy
Very easy to to sideburns
If the att head can offer all this and a bit more then I will place an order very soon.

Wow. Did not realise we are talking about so many £s!
I was hoping to get a head + top cap for 60-70 dollar mark inc p+p.
Had a wonderful shave with my 39c this morning which makes the decision even harder! Sure, it's rubbish for my sideburns and aligning the blade can be a pain, but it does the job.

You know, the cost is very high anyway/where you get it, and I have both S1 and S2 heads, as well as a 39C. Truth to tell, the 39C shaves just as well as the S1.
The absolutely flawless construction of the ATT is worth the money IMO, but if you are expecting an exponentially better shave, I think you will not find it so. The aesthetics are certainly worth a great deal, and the longevity of solid stainless is a formidable factor to consider as well - especially if you fancy the idea of an heirloom.

The heads will fit on your Ikon handle no problem Sj184, though i would take this into consideration as well.
If you order from Stan at ATT the rough cost would be about £110-111.00 if customs get hold of it add another £22 ish, total cost £132-133.
Or you could order from Brian at Executive Shaving the Complete slant razor, with either the Atlas or Kronos handle for £155 plus your TSR discount which I think is 10% plus postage so say about £145.
I know its a bit more but you get the handle of your choice, and if there is a problem with the razor its a lot less faffing about sending it back to Brian than it is to the states.
But whether you choose to buy direct from Stan or from Brian, the customer service you receive will be excellent.
Forgot about the pirates at RM as well

I am curious how it compares with my only razor: Merkur 1904
I hope i will not regret spending so much money... :angel:
I sincerely trust you'll be as happy with your S1 as I am, today, with my S2. It's just arrived and I used it within 30 mins of it turning up...and I'm chuffed to bits.
Fabulous service from Executive Shaving...I just rang Brian to thank him and for chucking in a freebie sample tub of Orange and Sandalwood E-Shave shaving cream. Very happy to recommend them.
The Weber(s) will be here soon....can't wait for that either. It's better than Christmas !!

Yes, would be very interesting to hear how different the S1 and S2 are in use, preferably from someone who has tried both.
