April 16, afternoon shave
I've been working with my Schick Krona almost exclusively this month and the shaves have been VG, but I received a new razor today, a Fatip Piccolo SE. And of course I had to try it out! It comes with an open and a closed comb plate. I went with the open because I had never used one. Well, what a beautiful shave! Not a nick or any irritation, just a smooth, comfortable shave.
A 4.5 out of 5. I'm not sure it can get much better! Everything else was pretty much the same as I've been using, Treet blade, Preraso cream, alum block. Aftershave however was Noble Otter BarrBarr. Beautiful scent, Old Spice like, but a little more subtle.
The Fatip is gorgeous to look at, with above average plating and a lovely handle. The gun metal and gold finish make for a beautiful combination on this. It's quite heavy with a short ish, easy to control handle. Kind of like a vintage Gillette Tech maybe(?) It wasn't as aggressive as it looks, maybe a 5 out of 10. I've heard of some QC issues with Fatip, but it all looks great so far. It's a fantastic $30 razor IMHO.
