Wow! Yesterday I had my ATT M1 plate for sale on the BST I thought I'd off load it for what I paid for it as I struggled to get a decent shave out of it without excessive passes which led to irritation. I had a brainwave, not like me, to try it with a shim. The difference is night and day. I took an old blade and carefully cut both edges off it with scissors, then used this between the blade and bottom plate (for anyone who doesn't know what a shim is or what to do with one)
Anyway it has as Fly said probably turned it into a M 1.5 plate and it is still smooth and less aggressive than the R2 and it gave a wonderful shave. I had it on BST for nearly a full day but with no takers and boy am I glad now. If you have a mild razor why not try a shim you have nothing to lose and it may just put a razor back into your rotation.
