The Atelier Razor (Aylesworth)

[MPF9]

Does anyone have both this razor and the Alpha Spirit in SS? If they do, how do they shave side by side, and which is both the smoothest shave and the most efficient?

I should have said that I do have very strong coarse growth, so getting a close all round finish with many razors is a Challenge.

Have you tried the Vector?

The Aylesworth Atelier is more mild than the Alpha Spirit, correct?

In my opinion no. The spirit is milder and more intuitive to use.

Agree.

Agree.

Which do you both prefer?

 

[p.b]

I’m only two shaves into the Atelier so it’s too early to commit. However, I prefer my Vector to the Spirit as I find the Spirit a touch too inefficient and like to use it with the Pro Supers.

Tuesday. 30th June.
Today broke off from Atelier sequence, usd Alpha Spirit with SP ( 5 ).
Very easy to use, good blade feel and unlike Shaves with The Atelier I was able to get a nice clean finish around the mouth and chin, Finish on Cheeks excellent. Looks like The Spirit works better on my beard than The Atelier.

How does the razor compare to the Amakuni and LF?
