I'm not sure what it measures all I know is it feels good. Not real aggressive like some razors I have, like an Ever-Ready 1914, but it has just enough feel to it.
That Windsor feeling! My journey with the Windsor from Above The Tie.

Living vicariously, please keep those photos coming!
We all like pictures. I try to include one whenever I can. Glad you like them.

This thread makes me smile big time! Isn't it remarkable how much everybody loves their new Windsor Pro?! 
2 mm for the Classic is correct and I remember have read 1.7 mm for the Pro, I think it was in some review. Above The Tie writes in their blog article about the Pro: "By slightly increasing the blade exposure compared to the Windsor, we were able to retain the smoothness of the Windsor but bring back the sing of the Classic. Yes. You really can have it all."
The blade reveal of the Windsor Pro is considerably increased when I compare it visually to my Windsor. So that looks much more like the Classic than the Windsor, however the new angle seems to do much magic.
Welcome to the thread and thank you sharing the picture and your excitement!
At your service, Sir!
Here's my Easter Monday set-up with the Windsor Pro. Back to basics and this time it's für richtige Männer!
P.S.: A short note on 'Für richtige Männer' as stated on the Pitralon box:
Simply translated it would be 'For real men' (Für echte Männer) or 'For true men' (Für wahre Männer).
While that's both correct, 'Für richtige Männer' to me is an enforced variant like 'For real true men' or 'For damn real men'. Saying 'richtig' in this context is a bit with a wink and everybody I show it to instantly laughs. I don't know if Pitralon had used this slogan already in 1927, when they introduced it and probably way back then there was not much with a wink included as it is perceived nowadays.

thanks for clarifying!
here is my morning, full of TOBS haha
Here are a couple images of my ATT Bronze set. These were a part of a limited run produced a few years ago. I have not polished mine deciding to let it slowly attain that classic bronze patina.

Für richtige Gentlemen!
WOW! Thank you very much, this is just pure excellence in beauty!
I just wonder, if you kept it in the stand as I would have expected to have a less even patina built up then. However I want to note that I'm glad I'm not much of a collector, otherwise I would instantly begin the hunt for this numbered bronze set. So nice!
When they were received polished, they were stunning if I say so myself. I have seen some that had ageed quite a bit and had a very eye catching patina. However, if you want to keep the morror finish just polish them up and they look like gold. I may polish mine a post some photos. Perhaps someone here here will show their Bronze ATT razor.Für richtige Gentlemen!

The biggest difference I have found between the models is the blade reveal, not blade exposure.
The classic has about 2mm of blade show.
The Windsor Pro aluminium is about 1.7mm.
Windsor Pro SS is 1.5mm.
Windsor is 1mm.
My skin doesn't tolerate high blade reveal (or exposure) and the Windsor is by far the smoothest, most comfortable ATT razor.
It's so good that it currently holds the #1 position in my den!

As much as I would love to see pictures when polished, as much I love the patina there. I wouldn't touch it.
Argh! Shame, shame, shame! It was your review that had the data ... and I even linked to it right in the beginning.
Thank you for giving the info again! And yes, I agree, it's more the blade reveal than the exposure - and the new angle.
Tempted to get the SSH1
Same here, @nav . The Windsor SSH1 is my undisputed king.
@J.Atique , you need one! The duality of tenderness and efficiency of the SSH1 is unbelievable. Think of an R41 that understands. The SSH1 loves your skin. It's magic!

Wonderful, thank you, my friend!

Have a great start into the new week all!
Excellent photos, attention to detail, unmistakable alignment (to fraction of mm). It is something a person either has or don'tWonderful, thank you, my friend!

Have a great start into the new week all!
So thanks to this thread I purchased my first new razor in about 7 years - and I really, really appreciate it!
I already had 4 ATT razors, so at least I didn't need a handle. It's a very nice razor.

Congratulations Keith, enjoy
Has anybody had experience with their "Returns"? Google reveals little unfort.

As shown in my opening post my set had 2 caps. One was a new one as part of the Windsor set, the second cap was from their returns. If there was a difference at, it must have been the minimal difference in the polishing I seemed to notice.
Later as I was so happy with my Windsor and as I like the mixed metal look, I ordered 2 copper plates from their returns. I don't know, how 'new' copper plates would look like, but honestly I wouldn't have complained if those plates had been declared as new, so immaculate they look.
Above The Tie doesn't do monkey business, I bet you will be fine with anything you order from their returns section. I strongly assume, that what has been returned, hasn't been returned because it was faulty, but from the test drive they offer. So I would only expect slight marks of use.

After 7 years with already 4 ATTs in the den ... this is so cool! Thank you for returning and sharing and I'm glad that you like your new piece!
So, which one did you get on top of your M1, M2, R1 and S1?
