Prep: Hot shower Nivea face scrub and face wash
Razor: SE1 with Kronos handle
Razor blade: Proline (lost count)
Brush: Elite Manchurian
Bowl: Little Wren Pottery
Soap: Stirling coniferous (sample)
Post: Thayers witch hazel and Fine American Blend
Second use if the SE1 on loan from @Acer89. I tried changed the handle from the Atlas to Kronos but prefer the Atlas. Also changed the blade from a Feather Pro to a Proline. I've forgotten how many times I've used the blade but it must be up to double figures. It still performed brilliantly, very smooth and sharp.
I had five days growth, so plenty for the SE1 to deal with and deal with it, it did. I even had a couple of hairs ping off, which I wasn't a fan of TBH. I'm sure this was down to the length of my stubble.
I love the shave this razor gives and the end results are impressive.
The MASSIVE soap sample was kindly sent to me by @patw , thank you. You are a gent.
The soap performed well and the scent strength is very good. If you love sniffing conifers, you love this soap.
Have a restful and peaceful day......Stay strong and stay together. X
How do you find the ATT SE1 compared the the general?

Could this be the razor you've been seeking out, if I could only have one razor it would be the SE1.
Thanks for the tag Rob
It's more efficient by some margin. After 3 passes and a couple of touch ups I end up with a very close shave. Probably the best shaves I've had since I changed from cartridge razors.
The ATT S2 and Fatip piccolo are still up there but the SE1 has surpassed them both.
I do have a SE2 on its way on loan, so we'll see how that fares.
It's early days but I'm pretty confident I'll end up buying one.
With The General (both versions) I need four passes and a number of touch ups to get a close shave. I really enjoy The General, you can really throw it around your face and perform a very quick shave.
Emit the Alum Block for a few shaves and see if that helps....I personally only use alum when i get a nick, it doesn't agree with my skin, and i have skin like a rhino.
A beautiful looking razor you have there Billy.
