Fatip alternative?

[Trem]

Consider a vintage Gillette New with a long comb.

Or alternatively, the short comb (my personal preference between the two, but my sense is that opinions are fairly split on that issue).

Is the gentile more or less aggressive and efficient as the fatip oc grande or is it the same sort of boat?

I have not used a Gentile but my understanding is that it is a little less aggressive and efficient than the OC's.

The Gentile is Less aggressive and less efficient (still works well). They both work best with a steep angle (ride the guard). Really enjoy both!
If you buy the piccolo special edition you will get both open comb and closed comb plates.
