I almost bought it a few weeks ago, but a day or so before, I bought a different razor (Game Changer 1.05-P). I kind of wish I didn't as I don't like the GC that much so far. I should have just went with the Spirit SE.Looks really nice ..waiting to hear more about it ..before I am tempted

I am leaning heavily towards doing that, or at least trying to. Having said that, the Shaving market isn't too good in AU at the moment, so not sure how much resale value it would have.You can sell it and use the money towards the spirit
Hopefully you move it on..

I have a fair few AC razors:
General V1 (aluminium, brass and stainless)
General V2
Yaqi Romulus
Hiram Commander
Stando Rod
ATT X1
Alpha Claymore Evo
Hawk V3 (standard and A)
And now the Alpha Spirit.
I've owned both stainless and titanium Vectors and sold them.

I’ve had a few! I currently own an Occam’s Oren, Stando Rod, Shield Avenger and Yaqi Excalibur.
I’ve had a Vector, ATT SE1, Hawk A plate, an Claymore and tried a few others! They are probably my favourite style of razor and am looking forward to giving it a go tomorrow morning! It’s very light, but not too much. The grip and balance seem superb so can’t wait! If it is indeed a tad more efficient than the Claymore and the head being so svelte more manoeuvrable I can’t imagine it being anything other than a winner!

Ah I forgot I had a Romulus! A very disappointing razor for me, I had high expectations as I love the Excalibur shave wise but it was far too mild for me!

That is a darn good list of AC razors. That list actually gives me hope now that I've read your last sentence. I have the Vector too, but don't like it that much (only had it for a few months and am already thinking of trying to sell it, but not sure if there's any resale market in AU for higher end razors).
I'm guessing all the other ones you've kept, you like? I've heard the General V2 is awesome and I tried to buy it a while ago (emailed them asking), but I got a reply back saying they have no plans to product any more of them
.Haven't heard of the Hiram Commander and Stando Rod, I'll have to take a look at those two (Are they still both in production?). I was also interested in ATT X1 (this is the AC slant, right?), but can't access their site due to the selling of the company, and not sure what Blackland (Correct me if I am wrong, I think it was Blackland that bought them out?) are going to be doing with all their razors and company. Is the ATT X1 pretty good?
I was also looking at the Romulus at one point too, but passed on it as I already have another Yaqi AC razor.
Which one is the Shield Avenger? Is that only available in Ti? I am going to order the aluminum versions of their SE, AC, GEM as I want to try them all first to see if I like any of them before looking at their SS, Brass or Ti versions.
I have the Yaqi Raster/Excalibur V2 (Is this the one you have?), and for the price it's a really good razor. It shaves well, but it's way too mild for me.
I'll have to have a look at the Occam's Oren and Stando as you're now the second person that mentioned that one. Is the Occam's and Stando still in production?
What are you thoughts on the ATT SE1?
Darn, I almost bought the Romulus, but passed up on it due to having the Excalibur. Are you saying the Excalibur is too mild or the Romulus, or are you just saying you didn't like the Romulus at all after already using the Excalibur?
For me, as I mentioned above, the Excalibur shaves well, but I find it too mild, so I have the exact same opinion if you're referring to the Excalibur there as being too mild.

I always sell any razor I don't get on with. I really like the Generals but you'll struggle to get hold of one. They'll also likely be grossly overpriced- they're no better than other nice AC razors. The X1 will also be a difficult one to find, along with the Hiram Commander.That is a darn good list of AC razors. That list actually gives me hope now that I've read your last sentence. I have the Vector too, but don't like it that much (only had it for a few months and am already thinking of trying to sell it, but not sure if there's any resale market in AU for higher end razors).

Stando are a Polish brand and offer good razors at good prices. The Stando Rod offers a shave somewhere between the General V1 and V2.
Yeah, I want to start doing the same thing, but my cheaper razors are probably not worth selling due to the postage cost, I don't think many buyers would care to pay when they can get them brand new for just a bit more.
However, razors like the Vector, I think I am going to try and sell (it's just a matter of time as I don't think I want to keep it), but just not sure what the market would be like in AU. I don't think we have much of a resale market here for high end razors. I wonder if I'd have any luck if I list it up here at ATG Shaving, or a US site like Badger & Blade and pay a good portion of the postage cost out of my pocket. Where do you sell the razors you don't want to keep? On shaving forums, or elsewhere?
Is the X1 worth buying if when Blackland re-open ATT make it available, or was that already a discontinued product from ATT before the sold the business?
How is the Hiram Commander performance wise? What country is that brand from?
I did want one of the Generals, but couldn't find one, so I'm not too fussed as there is other options. I definitely would take one if I could get it for a decent price, but I don't think I'd ever overpay just to have one. When I emailed them at the start of the year, he said that they're working on a new DE razor with no plans to rerelease the General V2 (I didn't ask any details about the DE as I thought he might not want to give any in the early stages of it). If paying full price, I'd probably rather get something like the Alpha Spirt SE anyway.
I'll have a look at the Stando as that sounds interesting.
