My thoughts and first impression of the ATT:
The ATT was a joy to use and very efficient. Really liked the weight. It made it a lot easier to shave with no pressure.
I used the PolSilver blade for the first time and really liked it.
Again issues with the soap. Not going to go over old ground here.
I had four days growth and the ATT handled it with ease. The finished shave was the closest shave yet, alot closer TBH.
I've been using the Merkur 34c up until now and it has struggled with the first pass at times due to the thickness of my stubble.
The R1 was everything I'd hoped it would be. Efficient and not aggressive at all. No nicks, weepers or irritation.
Really glad I took the advice of everyone on this forum, thank you.
Enjoy the rest of your evening. I'm going to crack open a nice cold beer.
My thanks to you young sir!Great effort with the Fatboy. I've been coveting one for a while. A fine post, too.
OK...really good post, and lots of detail that makes me want to check out the ATT Atlas R1. I also like your choice of AS splash and the fact that you used a Nivea balm afterwards - something that mirrors my own SOTD today. However, I have one question, that maybe on other people's minds too...
What's with the military issue condom in the shaving bowl in your piccy? Children can access this site you know!
A soap that gives great protection...The military issue condom is in fact the Wickhams's sample.
My pleasure... ☺My thanks to you young sir!

Great (and dirty) minds think alike...how sad!A soap that gives great protection...
(I'll get my coat...).
This evenings shave.
I cannot get the Mongoose out of my hand at the moment, I just don't want to use anything els
Dolphin smooth, no stress.
Apologies to any unshaven Dolphins out there.I'm sorry, but given the bad taste about condoms and Wickham's samples left in shaving bowls previously, these references to animals are just going that little bit too far. Please control yourself, Wayne!
