ATT R1, R2 vs S1, S2

Hello gentlemen,

I recently aquired the ATT Atlas 5 piece set, which has become the only razor brand I use now. Initially, I got the M1, M2, and R1 plates, my favorite which was the R1 by far (much closer shave, still without any irritation). I loved this brand so much that I also got an R2 plate. Now, this R2 is amazing (just as the R1) and even more, it might be even smoother for some odd reason than the R1. I get amazing BBS with both R plates (even in the first try with each razor)

Considering how much I like the R1 and R2 plates, do any of you also have the S1 or S2 so you could compare the quality of shave to those R plates? I'm thinking of buying the Slant Combo Pack (Slant cap, S1 and S2) plut the Kronos handle for variation.

I just can't imagine a better razor brand than Above the Tie. Quality is superb, shave quality is unmatched and customer service is top notch. I will sell all my other razors soon, as I know for a fact that I won't use them anymore.

I agree with all comments- Stan at ATT is a vendor who really stands behind his product. My wife gave me a set for my birthday this past year and the R1+2 are my "go to" plates. The H is solid but I can get just as much out of the reduced gap/exposure of the R for perfect compromise. M is tougher for my beard but I still enjoy using.

I have the Atlas and Kronos handles and find that I use Atlas most but the Kronos, like all their stuff is extremely well finished and just plain cool.

I don't have any of their slant gear but eager to see what others may say.

Good luck!

I started out with an M1 and R2 that I pieced together with trades etc. I found the M1 way to mild and the R2 gave me a great shave but the points on the OC were a little sharp. I traded the M1 for an R1 and the R2 for an S1 and bought a top slant cap. The R1 was great, all the greatness of the R2 without the sharp OC. Then I tried the S1 and wow....It's the only razor I reach for most days. Paired with a Gillette Silver Blue for me there is not better shave. Feels very mild while shaving and I always get a BBS shave with it without much effort or discomfort and zero irritations. My only advice is to trade some of your plates around, buy the slant top cap and see what you like.

I will surely post my impressions of the S1 and S2 here!!!! I estimate I will buy the Slant Kit and Kronos in about 3 weeks (if i Dont get deperate before that, hahaah)

Wow I can't really control my addiction. Just purchased an ATT S2 Kronos................hahahahah (and I said 3 weeks). Will see how I like it to then order the S1.
