Aleppo Soap: The Experiment

[Raven Koenes]

I have since sourced a Fatip Wood Originale Oliva from St.James Shaving Emporium (UK). The handle indeed is quite comfortable. I use it more often these days than the Piccolo. The increased thickness is just what I needed.
Another discovery I made: I got a pack of Willy's blades. It's actually the first time I can differentiate between blades. 10 comfortable BBS shaves out of one cheapy blade is not too shabby, I think. It's my reference blade. No blade has performed better yet! (And I ordered the very classic Fatip Grande Originale Nichelato, just for the colour of the nickel...)

Jan, I'm happy I was able to do my part to ̶e̶n̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ recommend these Fatips for you. Let me know how you like the Fatip Grande Nichelato. I like nickel better than chrome. Willy's blades? Thanks for the heads up!

The balance of Fatip Woods is phenomenal given the handle length. The weight, for me, seems just right, and it beats the Muhle r41 for ease of use and maneuverability imho. I shave with it and don't notice the handle much at all. That's a good thing. It's a very comfortable razor to use.
