Fumbling about.
OopsI know that, Jim. It was the brush that dropped my score to 80%.

How about a nice Stainless Steel Lo Storto with BOSC engraved on the cap, and it will tuck us all into bed with the same diligence and care Big Nurse takes while tightening the straps?80% SOTD
Brush: Shavemac Olive Wood 20/44 Silvertip 2-Band
Soap: Vitos Red
Razor: Fatip Lo Storto Originale with custom olive wood handle
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (2)
ASL: Proraso Red
Another excellent shave courtesy of my superb kit.
I've finally decided that Lo Storto Originale is the best DE Razor on the planet. Fatip have got the "twist" just right, and that along with their "best-on-the-planet-bar-none" OC tooth design make it a true winner.
Hey Rave (@Raven Koenes B&B's Fatip Ambassador), what about arranging a precision made stainless steel model? I know you can do it! You got them to make the slant after all. I for one would gladly pay ten times the regular price for that.

Obviously all the opinions above are mine. YMMV
I was one of those All-Italian August participants back then. Most of the regular posters from back then have disappeared.I was just reading back through this thread and at one time several guys would do an "All Italian August."
Isn't the 2nd Razor: Fatip v2 OC head w/Lo Storto handle, actually a Schone handle?Aug 7: Grudge Match - Lo Storto OC vs v2 OC
Lather: Saponificio Varesino Felce Aromatica
Brush: Omega 10104 "Pro-104" (26/57mm)
Razor: Fatip Lo Storto open comb slant
2nd Razor: Fatip v2 OC head w/Lo Storto handle
Blade: Bolzano Superinox [4]
Balm: Aqua Velva Sensitive 5 in 1 After Shave Balm
After 2 shaves with Lo Storto, I shaved with the v2 OC head and remarked that they shaved very similarly, and I should do a side-by-side shave to confirm. Today was that shave.
I could not detect any difference in face feel (and I wanted to). The blade at 4 shaves is no longer invisible in the slant, but just a subdued presence in both razors. For those who don't know me, I routinely get 30-60 shaves on a blade, and shave steeeeeeep.
Blindfold me, hand me a razor and I would NOT be able to tell if it was Storto or not.
Still a darn fine razor Lo Storto is, but you know what, so is the Grande v2 OC. I would love to hear from others who try a side-by-side shave.
Yes, it's a Schone handle - it came with the Fatip OC head in an Amazon mixup that the original owner (who ordered a Schone) never realized.Isn't the 2nd Razor: Fatip v2 OC head w/Lo Storto handle, actually a Schone handle?
Ah, I misunderstood, sorry.Yes, it's a Schone handle - it came with the head in an Amazon mixup that the original owner never realized.
I didn't use the Schone handle in my shave - I used the Lo Storto handle with both heads. I didn't want to take a picture of just a head with no handle.
No worries SirAh, I misunderstood, sorry.
