Above the Tie is proud to offer the 2012 R1 Safety Razor, hand crafted from solid 303 stainless steel here in the USA.
R1 :The R1 Base Plate is the mid aggressive and most versatile of the solid bar line with a .58 mm blade gap.
When assembled, the R1 razor weighs in at 94 grams, total length is 3¼"
This tool is wonderfully machined with very tight tolerances. The blade seats precisely in the head with symmetrical blade exposure. This razor is easy to master because the shave angle is very intuitive. In addition the razor "sings" like no other. This audible feedback is helpful in maintaining a proper shave angle. The Atlas R1 is a very efficient yet smooth shaver.
The Atlas handle also fits the following; Weber, Tradede OC, Goodfella, Edwin Jagger, Muhle, Gillette Old Type and Tech heads.
