Enjoy it, Andrew. But I would caution extreme care. I didn't look intimidating, but for me it requires more care than the R41, Fattip, or the Futur opened up all the way.
Michael, I found it smoother than the R41 for some reason.

Great shaving tool but requires attention. I would not recommend it for sensitive skin...

has anyone used the ATT H1? how is it in terms of aggression? I have the M1 calypso (full razor). if the H1 has a nice level of aggression, I may see about selling my M1 top cap and buying an H1 to replace it.

I just picked up an H1 about a month ago. If you've enjoyed the R41, you'll be underwhelmed by the H1. I actually prefer my Fatip to the H1. I find the Fatip just a tad more smooth, but they're probably pretty close in terms of efficiency. I'm planning on picking up an H2 plate at some point to see if I like that one better.

thanks for the feedback. I just checked and Stan does offer full refunds for the base plates so I might pick up the H1 base plate (he doesn't make the H2 in aluminum from what I can see) to give it a whirl and if it's not to my liking, I'll ship it back.

please let us know how you like the H2 if you do pick one up!

So I have the Futur, R41(2013), Timeless 0.95 OC, Charcoal goods lvl3 OC, Gillette NEW, and the Gillette NEW LC.
All of them feel more similar than different. All great blade feel and I have to be very slow and deliberate. But, if I am careful, 3 pass BBS shave with all of them.

Not terrifying, but a very aggressive DE razor. Well, for me, it was. Shy
