Last night’s SOTN:
Razor: Fatip Lo Storto Origanale OC slant (FOCS)
Brush: Alpha T-400 SE with G4 knot
Soap: TOBS Jermyn Street
Pre-Shave Oil: TOBS
ASB: Stirling Christmas Eve
First try of both the Lo Storto Origanale and the T-400 SE.
I really enjoyed using the OC slant. It’s a very smooth shave and, whilst having more blade feel than the Gentile, it often felt that no blade was present. I compared it directly against the Gentile on the 3rd pass and can confirm that that the Gentile feels a touch milder and is slightly draggier in use.
Onto the brush. There’s little I can say, other than this brush felt the closet I have ever felt a synthetic feel to a top-end Silvertip badger. It’s a great brush and I’m mightily impressed with it.
The FOCS felt like it’s every bit as good as the Gentile, and I thoroughly enjoyed using the brush. I really look forward to using them both again very soon.
