FaTip Piccolo/Weber Wave
Astra Superior Platinum Blade
Proraso PSC
Old Spice Original SC
GT G4 Scuttle
Omega Boar
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea Replenishing ASB
Old Spice Classic ASL

I have not been happy at all with the little FaTip Piccolo's performance in the past. (It tends to want to eat my face; very unfriendly!) I love the FaTip Grande's performance so it's just got to be that skinny little handle that is the culpret. Problem is; the Piccolo head has a different thread than most any other razor on the planet! I swapped around and found that it fits on the Weber Wave (and Weber Bulldog) handles (however, the Piccolo handle will not fit on anything else.) At any rate, I love the look of the FaTip head on the Weber Wave handle and I think the extra thickness, length and heft of the Weber Wave handle will bring this little demon under control. I haven't shaved yet so; the proof is in the pudding as they say. I'll edit results later today after I shave. :001_unsur

Edit: BINGO! Problem solved! The Weber Wave handle gave control of the Piccolo head and the shave performance was outstanding. This is a keeper! :thumbup:

Today's shave:
First shave with the Schick Simplified Magazine Repeating Razor, C-type, open-comb. Loading mechanism works perfectly, to my surprise.
Ted Pella injector blade
La Toja shave stick, face lathered
Omega 31064 boar brush
Osage Rub splash
A light touch of Guerlain Habit Rouge

The Schick open-comb head has a blade exposure and aggressiveness akin to my GEM Micromatic, but the slimmer head profile took a little getting used to. Still, a comfortable and close shave all 'round.
