Dave Q said:Got my S1 Kronos yesterday morning. Though it arrived after I had already shaved. So this morning I could hardly wait to shave. Loaded with a Personna Lab Blue it gave a very smooth, close shave. Blade hardly felt as though as it was touching my face. Got to say, it was well worth it. I may now have to try and source a R1 plate.

I can second this experience. I received my S1 from a fellow member a couple of days ago and tried it this morning. I also used a Lab Blue, and had to keep checking that I had put a blade in there. Scarily smooth and efficient. Definite game changer.
browngeek said:I would really love to get an ATT razor (birthday present to myself!!). I presently have a Shavecraft 102 with special edition handle. I was lucky enough to get that from ebay for about GBP40. Overall quite impressed with this set-up, but in terms of looks it seems ATT looks nicer (yes if I'm going to spend serious money on a razor, looks are important as well).
From reading this thread it seems in terms of shaving the S1 head will give a very similar shave to the 102 head. If that's the case I may forgo getting an ATT slant and maybe getting one of their standard heads. Or does the S1 actually differ in terms of shave from the 102?
When I wanted a different one, I couldn't find any in the UK. You're probably better off looking at other ss handles like Windrose, unless you buy an ATT direct from them.I was thinking that it may be too aggressive with this handle, is there anywhere in the UK that sell different ATT handle's? I've only seen the Colossus for sale separately.
I have an S2 on a Dr. Bomber handle so similar length/weight and I love it. I'm finding Astra SP's and Gillette Spoilers are working well for me. I'm struggling to decide which I prefer between this and the blackbird.I've got an S2 Colossus incoming, has anyone tried this combination?
I bought the S1 and S2 heads "kit" direct from ATT, which came without a handle. My preferred handle is a UFO Kaiser long, or a stainless I got from shaving.ie. +1 for the Astras.I have an S2 on a Dr. Bomber handle so similar length/weight and I love it.

If you ever fall out of love with that handle I'll swap a kidney for it (plus cash).I bought the S1 and S2 heads "kit" direct from ATT, which came without a handle. My preferred handle is a UFO Kaiser long, or a stainless I got from shaving.ie. +1 for the Astras.
