I hate the handle, but otherwise a nice razor. Quite aggressive, but smooth if you use a shallow angle.
I also have its cousin, the Fatip Testina Gentile, which is also a really nice razor, and a little bit milder but still plenty aggressive. Both razors are plagued by blade alignment issues, but if you visually align it every time you load a blade, it works out fine. There were a lot of QC issues in the past, but recently it seems that the quality has improved.
My Fatip is perfect and fantastic! Alignment is on the money, and it is one of my favorite razors. It's all brass, has good weight, and is one of those razors that everyone should have at least one of.
I've been using my Grande since June of this year. No alignment issues. Great, efficient shaver that works equally well with my favorite blades (Astra SP & Personna reds).
One word of caution: If looks are really important to you, do not get the gun metal finish. I did and it has just about all worn off. Doesn't bother me, but others may be put off by it. Here's a couple pics from a week or so ago.
