ATT SE1 - First Shave
I am old(er) and my beard is grisly gray and feels like 40 grit sandpaper. I have been shaving forever, or so it seems. I started in 1969 with a safety razor (don't remember the type), wilkinson sword blades and Noxzema brushless shaving cream. I soon switched to carts and then the horrible BIC disposables, but I was a college student then. What did I know? In time I settled into the world of carts and shaving GEL. Those were the dark years of lousy, expensive shaves. 5 years ago I rediscovered wetshaving and it has been a fun ride through memory lane and great shaves.
I have a fairly large collection of vintage GEM razors which I enjoy. My favorite daily ride is the Bullet or the Clog Pruf. The MMOC is a little too aggressive for daily use. I also own a variety of vintage safety razors with my favorite being the Gillette New Open Comb. Over the years I have owned most of the ATT line at one time or another. The one in my cupboard at this time is the ATT S2 open comb slant mated to a kronos handle.
There is nothing quite like trying out a new razor. In the case of the SE1, it is also my first try with a modern SE razor mated to a shavette blade. My very first thought was that the shavette blade is really wide. I wondered if I would be able to control it. (Turned out not to be an issue.) I screwed the ATT Kronos handle onto the SE1 and I was not happy. Visually, it seemed off to me with too wide a head for a skinny, short handle; and the razor seemed head heavy as well. I pulled out an Apollo handle (97mm; 100gm) that had been sitting in a drawer for several years because it always seemed too long and too heavy for a standard safety razor head. The SE1 not only looked right with the longer and wider Apollo handle, but the balance was better as well. The combo is beastly heavy but felt right in my hand. Loading a Kai Captain Titan Mild into the razor was a snap.
I went through my usual prep and lathered with my favorite TTFFC soap, Get In Lime. I started at my usual spot, the right temple, carefully set my shave angle and reminded myself to tread lightly. (More than once an aggressive razor has taught me a lesson about proper technique.) The first stoke was smooth and easy. Really smooth and really easy. Shave angle was intuitive and, unlike some aggressive razors, I could apply a touch of pressure without worry. The shave was very efficient and the razor, despite the wide head, was agile and able to get into all of the nooks and crannies on my face. I am a two pass kind of guy with a WTG pass followed by a XTG pass. When re-applying the shaving cream for the second pass, I could feel that that SE1 had done a great job on the first pass. Very impressive first shave.
Stan, the man behind ATT razors, once described the ATT SE1 as shaving like a H but feeling like an M. I think that is a very good description. The razor felt smooth like a mild razor, but the results were far more efficient in line with a more aggressive razor. For those of you who are familiar with the ATT S2, I would say that the SE1 is a smoother operator.
I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
Cheers

Can not make lather with my new boar brushes
So I went ahead and bought couple of semouge boar brushes, ownwers club and 830 models.
I defuncked them and have used them handuful of times and each time I can not make good lather like my Synth or Badgers. Its really bad in comaprison.
I presoak for 10 minutes in warm water, squeeze the water out, load soap for 30 seconds, face lather, or bowl had resluted in no steller lather, and the lather disapears after first application on face.
Seems like the boar bristles soak up the suds.
What am I doing worng!
