How is the Alpha Spirit in comparison to the Shield Brass? I just received the Brass Shield after seeing your beautiful SoTd pics and I simply love it, I actually like it better than my black cerakoted Ti Shield, which doesn’t take Prolines

The brass shield ac is my favourite out of the Shield offerings. After quite a few uses, I seem to have settled on the Kai protouch MG (guarded blade) as the others have turned out to be a bit too much for my taste. With the Alpha, a shave with a regular Kai probably gets me a similar efficiency to the Shield with the guarded blade. So, it is just slightly toned down vs the Shield, giving me more blade options to choose from. I probably would have preferred the screw through the blade closure like with the Vector or the Shield, but that is just nitpicking, the Spirit is very maneuverable, even without this design feature.

Thanks so much, valuable feedback. Much appreciated. Cheers!
