What's new

Fatip/Joris handle sizes and handle name thread, post all here!!

Alex the Grande Nickel shows the Weber Bulldog on both the do fit and do not fit list? I bough one for my Fatip that on it's way. Will it fit or do I have to get my tap kit out for a bit of adjustment?
It is what members have posted, dont forget that the Fatips dont have exact specs, so most likely a few members had the fatip fit the Weber Bull dog and for others it didnt fit.
 
I tried 1 Grande and 2 Picolos. With all three, they fit my Weber Classic and didn't fit my iKon OSS or my Bulldog II.

It is what members have posted, dont forget that the Fatips dont have exact specs, so most likely a few members had the fatip fit the Weber Bull dog and for others it didnt fit.

For my FaTip Piccolo, Razorock Jaws aka Pearl SS-04 fits. Handle length 100mm.
And an obscure one, Everkeen shavette (1920s) fits. Handle length 75mm.

2013 Muhle R41 DOESN'T fit.

Did it fit?
My Fatip just came in the mail on Wednesday and I tried it for the first time last night.

As I've seen here the fit and finish aren't that great. The finish is actually pretty good but I have to hold the pins as I tighten the handle to keep the cap strait.

Still once it's ready to shave the Fatip is a BEAST! It shaves just as aggressive but smooth as I had hoped. I've added this razor to the short list of ones that can actually give me a BBS under my strong jaw line :) and that makes me very happy!

Oh and the Bulldog handle fit perfectly on my Nickel Grande. It had no problem at all ;)

Sorry I am late to this discussion but I have a question regarding the Bulldog handle fitting the FaTip Grande. Mine doesn't seem to fit snug and I'm concerned the threads may be different and i don't want to strip the threads. Am I missing something or do some FaTips just have different threads?
 
Sorry I am late to this discussion but I have a question regarding the Bulldog handle fitting the FaTip Grande. Mine doesn't seem to fit snug and I'm concerned the threads may be different and i don't want to strip the threads. Am I missing something or do some FaTips just have different threads?

Do you mean that it doesn't fit snug on the thread or up against the head? My thread seems a tad loose when I first start threading it on but it snugs up nice and tight against the head.

The Weber being an American razor you would think would be 10-32 but it makes sense if it's actually M5 X 0.8 so that it was a bit over sized and would fit a larger variety of razor heads. While the thread my seem a bit loose it shouldn't have any problems getting tight.
 
Do you mean that it doesn't fit snug on the thread or up against the head? My thread seems a tad loose when I first start threading it on but it snugs up nice and tight against the head. Both. loose while threading and not totally snug at end.
 
Do you mean that it doesn't fit snug on the thread or up against the head? My thread seems a tad loose when I first start threading it on but it snugs up nice and tight against the head. Both. loose while threading and not totally snug at end.

A discovery update... As I said, I was cautious that by really tightening down I would strip the threads. I carefully tried it again and the blade would not snug up all the way. I added a small (5mm) stainless steel washer that fits perfectly in the depression under the bottom plate where the handle threads onto the screw. Viola! That did the trick! I finally have my Bulldog handle matched in a tight fit with the FaTip head. Nice improvement!
