I'll take that advice and pick up a pack once my restraint is over.
I've got a super from try a blade I've not had enough guts to put in my feather AC. Will definitely try with the SE1
[MENTION=64064]Dngolden[/MENTION] - no worries. It is a closer shave with a Super, but the difference is not as great as between say a Gillette OT and an R41! Get a few from Tryablade...
Is this blade alignment supposed to be like this? Doesn't look right to me. 1) There are gaps between the cap, blade, and base plate and 2) the blade curves at both ends. Please advise if I am doing something wrong.
I tried to shave with it but switched to my DE after a 2 swipes.

Stan replied. Wish there was a way to modify or delete posts...thanks MODS!^T^%(&*^
I had the same problem. The blade has to rest flat at the cap.
A replacement cap sent to me after a nice chat with Stan solved the problem. Great great customer service!

I agree that the customer service is excellent.
Same problem, same quick solution, same great service. BTW, the SE1 has turned into one of my faves. Easily my closest shave short of using the feather blades in the Artist Club straigt.
How does the ATT se1 compare in aggressiveness to the B3 Mongoose stainless version?
the B3 stainless is milder. I use the AC Supers with it, and with the ATT I use the Pros. This doesn't mean that it is harsher - it gives a smoother shave (for me at least) and is more effective. Didn't try the ATT with the Supers, since the Pros work well for me. I'll be parting with my mongoose in the near future.
In terms of aggressiveness I'd say that they are pretty close. What complicates things is that the SE1 is noticeably smoother, leading some to say that it is less aggressive.
I had a B3 Mongoose and liked it, but it seemed to me that everything the Mongoose could do, the SE1 could do a bit more elegantly and with more finesse. The Feather Pro worked well for me in both razors.
I ended up selling the Mongoose.

I think the AT SE1 is the the smoothest modern SE razor made. As Bob said above, it shaves so elegantly. You can change the way it feels by changing the type of blade you use. Above The Tie did a great job with this razor as always. I put an Atlas handle on mine and it is so nimble and easy to move around my face. Great razor.
It's worth every penny and more, in my opinion. Such an elegant design and wonderful shaver.
Not read the rest of this thread yet but I've just searched for this problem as I've just had to send back 2 SE1 heads with precisely what you explain here.
its definitely an issue. I'm surprised as i know the quality of ATT with my awesome M1. The store I purchased from here in the UK say that they've had quite a few returned due to this issue and will be sending them back to ATT. I hope this can be rectified as I still want one.
Yep this exactly the issue I had with both heads I tried.
Funny you should mention that; I was just wondering about these various AC blades in the ATT SE1. I used mine for the first time this morning and started with a Kai Captain Titan Mild blade. Extremely comfortable and a very close shave. But I was thinking I could go more aggressive. I also have some Feather Professional and Feather Professional Super blades (same as Feather Super Pro?). Is the progression among those three Kai Mild, then Feather Pro, then Feather Pro Super?
