Who is getting the ATT Bamboo SE1?

Holyzeus · Friday July 1, 2016

As a further PS, i normally shave every morning when at home.
Tonight's shave was after 36 hrs so I don't think it can be a daily shaver, we'll see next week
However to get such a shave after a longer than usual time is impressive

Second shave

wintoid · Sunday July 3, 2016

I've got three shaves on mine so far with a Kai mild blade. The first was terrible, but I think I may have messed up something else because the second and third shaves have been excellent. Really close and comfortable, although probably not quite as thorough as my Ikon B1 Deluxe. More practice and it might even be better. At the moment, I prefer it to my two Mongoose razors (SS and aluminium). It hasn't displaced the Streamline or OCMM yet though.

Second shave and stand by my initial thoughts.
Its a closer shave than the Goose, two passes and touch up and i have possibly the closest shave i've ever had, BBS on 95% of my skin. One nick and some irritation though
I used a Triad handle, thicker but still needs longer for me
Unfortunately the only one i have is off the Goose, heresy..

I don't have many tallow, i do have two other CRSW i can try

For me personally tallow is a must (for a really good shave) with any SE blade or straight.

That's because your farts are probably radioactive.

My bad shave with the SE1 was with a tallow soap. The other two excellent shaves were with a vegan soap (Soap Commander).

As an aside, I hated Soap Commander when I first got it, and thought it had been overhyped. It's now my favourite soap of all time.

Sounds like you need some Wickham 1912 next.
