Use the Fat, Luke!
This new club is for the distinguished gentlemen who have found the Holy Grail of shaving: the Fatip Lo Storto Open Comb Slant (also known as the FOCS).

This is a place that FOCS fans can continue the ongoing dialogue about one of the best razors on earth. Feel free to post pictures, tell stories, ask questions, or simply check in to let the world know that you used the magestic FOCS today.

Tried a German Wilkinson Sword in the 🦊 and it did well. So far the only bad one has been the Dorco Prime. I have a tuck of Dorco Plats I will try.

My go-to are still Shark Plats and Astra SP.

Feathers were harsh as they typically are for me .... but talk about effortless....
 
I'm in. I might try some other slants at some point since this is the only slant I have ever tried, but it beats most of my other razors on efficiency combined with smoothness. I love the open comb look just need a gold FOCS :001_wub: On more rare occasions these days I still enjoy techs, super speeds and my SE gems.

Having tried a bunch of slants myself, the Focs is very, very special. No other slant provides that level of closeness tied to so much comfort. A couple like the Wunderbar are closer, yes, but at the sacrifice of much comfort.

Tried the FOCS today with the blade aligned to the cap. Used a more neutral angle than I normally use with the FOCS. The result? Smooth as silk, still efficient and effective. The FOCS is proving itself to be very adaptable and flexible. If I want to go steep, align to the plate and go steep. If I want to go neutral, align to the cap and go neutral. Both methods seem to work just fine. :cool:

Really nice shave! :)
 
Used the Wilkinson Sword blade again tonight, it was definitely on its way out. Will toss it before shaving again. Only 4 good shaves where a Shark Platinum or Astra SP gives 6 or more.

Still a great shave, had to buff a little in a few places but as we all know, the 🦊 is so easy to buff with.

Used Mitchells WF soap with Nivea afterward.

Definitely plan to let the Game Changer 68 P and JAWS go, it’s not even a race compared to the Fatip.
