    There is only one Fatip OC head, highly recommended. Handle mass is the selectable option. And you're right! Very aggressive geometry, smooth as silk if you know the angles. My fave three piece razor, bar none.

    Edited to reflect @Linuxguile corrected info. Thanks Andrew.

    Its Fatip time. Best $25 you can spend at this time.

    We are having a little bit of fussiness due to excess gas, but we are hoping that a change in formula will help relieve his discomfort. Other then that he is quite well, thank you for asking Jim!

    Actually, there are two. Fatip also has a closed comb head that is sold on the Testina Gentile razors.

    Ah, I was unaware. Same geometry? Only one OC though?

    Yeah. It might be rule time.

    Excess gas makes me fussy as well

    Gasiness has been a problem for several of our kids, too. We had to resort to some of the infant gas drops, which did seem to help. Hope it gets better, I know it isn't fun when they are fussy.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    :signs011: I'll third the advice. All of these razors will be available just as they are now. Do a Rule and you'll be in much better position to judge what actually is and isn't working when it comes to gear. Technique trumps tools! There's a reason I can pick up any non-defective DE razor and produce a high quality shave. And it has nothing to do with the razor itself. It's all about technique, and the sooner you nail it to the wall the better!

    No brush... I just used the soap like a shave stick after noticing how slick it was all week. Smooth two pass before heading back to my prairie home. Only 18 hours since last shave...techniques win the day again. Other than that...all is quiet in Waikoloa.


    Have a magnificent Monday evening!

    Beautiful setting Doug. How is the Kai Captain blade working for you?

    Thanks Clint. The Kai Captain is working pretty well. I would say I prefer the Feather over the Kai. IMO.
