Aluminum handle on a copper head, that would make for a different feel for sure. I had a very nice shave with ATT copper today.

The ATT Copper is a beautiful razor.

The Aluminum/Copper balances nicely. A nimble feel.

Sure shaves well.

Very nice, those copper plates.

@all:

I already have the S2 (splendid razor on two days worth of growth) and the H2 (it's a beast), I wonder if the (C)R1 might be a good plate for daily shaves...

If you had to compare the R1 plate with another razor in you den, which one comes to your mind in terms of efficiency or aggressiveness? Is there any razor which behaves similar to the R1 plate?

Appreciate your feedback!

Thanks. The CR1 is a great daily shaver. I shave daily and use the CR1, the CH1 Is used twice a week, it is very efficient. I have the Muhle Rocca 95, it is slightly more efficient than the CR1. Ikon shavecraft and slant are slightly less efficient. Other razors like are either less efficient or more efficient than the CR1 (Muhle R41, D89) If my memory serves me well the CR1 is close to Futur setting 2-2.5.
I must say it also depends on the blade. I use sharp blades with mild razors (e.g. Feather ASD2) and the CR1 goes well with a ray of blades.
Hope this helps

ATT is having Sale on the copper plates among other items, it is a great opportunity to grab. I think the sale will end soon.

Yes it truly does thank you for taking the time to respond on my query.
Of those razors mentioned I have the R89,R41 and the Rocca v4 in my den.
So I can make an educated guess now if the CR1 plate might fit my need. It likely will. Thx!

If you have a Rocca, then I would suggest the new SSRH plate. It's a little more efficient than the CR1 (I have this as well) but is still smooth and can be used daily......more comparable to the Rocca's performance. The Windsor is a great razor with either the CR1 or SSRH....no way to go wrong IMHO.

Thanks for the recommendation.
Unfortunately the SSRH plate isn't offered as a copper version.

That's why opted for a CR1 plate instead. A level of efficiency in the range above the R89 and below Rocca seems to be a good addition for me.

Beautiful razor. But that cherry Semogue photo bombing there kind of steals the show.

Right you are! It is the brush I used today. It is an excellent brush for it's price, enjoy lathering with it. The color of the photo is dull, but it is the shelf where I put my shaving gear.

Todays shave, Windsor Pro Aluminum CM1 base plate, Nacet blade. WTG & XTG. Great comfortable shave, not seeking BBS.

Thanks Jim. I find myself using ATT razors more than other razors, and not the same plate (which I used to do long time ago) every day. I like it’s traditional looks and fine quality.
Happy shaves

I agree. I've taken an interest in ATT razors because they seem of good quality and I like the thin head profile design. Their H plates and the SB90 is probably what I prefer.

That said, it was hard to understand how all the razors were compatible and which plates had what efficiency. Also, the name of the handles were a bit confusing: Some would call one a ATT Calypso razor which doesn't give any info on the efficiency. I had to search through several of their pages to piece all the information together. I think a one-stop FAQ page would be a big help for newcomers. The current FAQ seems more of shipping/ordering process rather than how their razors work.

I took advantage of their recent sales so I'll be trying out the Windsor Pro lines and the H2 plate. Excited! And I hope to give a positive feedback .. I already have a slight bias given my excitement but we'll see.

Thanks for the suggestion! We will look into providing a more comprehensive info chart for new and old comers alike.
