Yeah, right, I say with baited breath.Lets not forget the fabled Fatip Slant. It should be out any day now, right?
I love my Fatips!
Nickel Schone for me.

No, Jim, no it's not.
Well, Rave, you do have to actually submit an order. It's not magic, it's just business.
Some people - not saying who they are but if the shoe fits - just expect too much. The Fatip Slant looks like a stellar razor.
Expect my review any moment now...
Happy shaves,
Jim
Did I just hear that???
Placing my order now

Not everyone is holding their breath and engaging in wishful thinking.
I'm not usually a fan of razors over 100g but I had a good shave today with a Fatip OC baseplate mounted on an Ikon Bulldog handle, 85x12.8mm and 73g. I used a Yintal Bronze top cap for the M5 thread, making total weight 107g. The Bulldog handle is very grippy and good to hold, and the extra weight seemed to go well with the Fatip resulting in an efficient shave. Blade was a Nacet, and I think you need to go sharp with the Fatip, since it's inherently quite smooth.
This is just to illustrate that once you have the basic Fatip OC baseplate in whatever incarnation, there's a lot more you can do with it if you're a bit of an experimenter.

Works fine with the SLOC, Fine Marvel , and Old Type caps but whether these offer improvement is pretty debateable. Certainly not necessary.

The Fatip baseplate does indeed work with a variety of M5 caps. My point is that a M5 cap is necessary if you want to try your existing M5 handles out. Fatip thread is M4.5.
To my surprise the Piccolo handle became a favorite. I have big hands yet that handle feels most natural and compliments my technique.
