Not my daily driver, but it's an excellent razor.Curious about slants and seem to be a few converts on here. Lil bit of research later and got the storto originale on the way - excited!
Are you guys still driving yours daily?

Nice. Got a load of old beginner blades I haven’t used as I quickly realised I prefer sharper blades so will be good to get through them.I think that you've made a fantastic choice with the FOCS!
I've been using mine daily since I got it (today was my 571st consecutive use) and it's the best-performing razor that I've owned. The FOCS delivers excellent results with almost any blade, even ones that are regarded as sub-par, due to a fine balance between efficiency and comfort.
Let us know how you like it when you get a few shaves under your belt!
There is a Piccolo version now.Since that ^ post I’ve been using this razor a lot. Every time I try something else in my collection it’s a disappointment. Nothing is as efficient or as gentle as this in my hand.
Is there anything else like this out there? Thinking of swapping out my tech I use for travel/gym for something similar as it’s so damn good.
There's another razor in the Fatip family which is branded as Schone. It resembles the standard Fatip OC such as the Grande, but seems to shave a bit smoother. I like it at least as much as the FOCS. No longer available new as far as I know, though you can get them second-hand. The same razor (more or less) is available under the Boker brand, but it is more expensive for no good reason.Since that ^ post I’ve been using this razor a lot.

Should the title be F. O. C. S friends? Is it an error type?
Just learned a new word in English. Thanks man.It's not an error. One of the definitions for "fiend" is "a person extremely devoted to a pursuit or study".
We're extremely devoted to the FOCS razor, therefore we are FOCS Fiends.
I stuck a 7mm brass rod in buttI have a question for you-all. I have found this razor on a site, but I see that it is about a third less weight than my 39C. I really like heavier razors. I am worried that this razor may be too light for my taste. Also, I don't think there is any way to make it heavier......?...
Thanks.
Getting even blade exposure at the cap is a mistake (for the FOCS and many other slant razors), Big_T. Check out the text below the third pic in THIS POST.Took a bit of fiddling to get an even blade exposure but I sometimes have the same problem with my 37C.
