Stan from Above the Tie is retiring

The interchangeable base plate system as well as the no questions asked 30 day exchange/return were also ATT firsts if I recall.

I had looked at the Above The Tie Kronos razor for some time but never purchased one. At that time I had a Muhle R89 and a Geo. F. Trumper gold Warwick. I did not purchase the Kronos because it looked too utilitarian and more like a tool. I preferred the “thing of beauty” look. I persuaded myself to purchase the 5 piece closed comb set. I took delivery of it about six and a half years ago. I thought I would rotate the three razors. Within 10 days I took the blades out of my my Muhle and Warwick and have not used them since. Once I got used to using the ATT, I could not see using any other razor. This is an incredible hand made piece of equipment. Fit and finish are excellent. And unless you drop it off of a 100 story building it probably will last you a lifetime and with the three different base plates it may be the only razor you will ever need.

Stan was a truly innovative man and was one of the first if not first high quality stainless DE razor makers. I have tried several but keep coming back to my ATTs. I wish him a wonderful second retirement!

I haven't pulled out the Titan H1 in a while. might have to in honor of stan.

I just used the H2 yesterday. I thought the H1 was going to make me put the H2 baseplate away but I got an extremely close shave without any irritation.

I love my S1 and use it all the time. Congrats on the retirement!
