(Fatip) Piccolo Lovers’ Club: PLC

Buddy,

How's the piccolo compared to the NSC?
Review required lol!

You've really perked my interest in it again and I feel a case of RAD flaring up again lol.

I should really stop reading such posts and look for "this sucks type of thread"!

@mawashi the Piccolo has unseated the New Short Comb. The balance is better. With a Feather the NSC is slightly more efficient than the Piccolo, but the trade-off is in comfort. After 2 weeks and not a single nick or weeper, the Pic is a keeper. Last night I decided to use a little pressure on the first pass with a Nacet and the second pass it felt like I took the blade out........... ZERO irritation.

But I digress

Oops... I was kidda expecting that.

Astra only seems to work on just a few razors with me.

Feathers, Nacets and then a long way down are the astras in terms of smoothness.. With a feather or Nacet because they're so sharp, I seldom need to buff where as with the astra I need to go over the same area a few times and that leads to razor burn.

Astra sp have become my travel blades, I shave em and chuck em every few days unlike the Nacets or feathers which can last at least 2 weeks.

Take it easy buddy.

today was shave number two on a crystal in a Piccolo, not the smoothest of shaves, but definitely did the trick.

My Fatip Piccolo mk1 is on its way from Germany to join its bigger siblings in Macedonia, the Grande OC and Testina Gentile. Will share my impressions here. Blades will be Astra SS, SP, Gillette Platinum.

How do you know if your Piccolo is a mk1, I just got mine last month and I don't see that listed anywhere.

German ebay seller actishaves keeps NOS Fatips mk1 in stock.

The Mk1 cap is ~18mm wide and there are no markings on the baseplate. The Mk2 cap is ~19mm wide and the Fatip logo is stamped on the underside of the baseplate.

Thanks, that being said, my Piccolo is the Mk2, and I am , ahem, very happy with it.
As I am looking to add another OC to my club, what would the difference be between the 2 caps as how they shave?
I'm thinking the Mk1 might be a little more aggressive.

Yep, a little.

 

[mawashi]

Yep, a little.

I think the Premax branded razors for sale at the Zamberg website are ‘Mk1’. For those of us who are CONUS, Florida is a little closer than Germany. I have one and have checked the measurements.

Good time to all. Today I’ll start testing blades SATINEX 2000 PLATINUM PLUS, received as a generous PIF from Igor (Spase_Cadet), on the Fatip Piccolo SE OC razor. In the soft razor Feather Popular this blade has served 8 times, let's see how many times it will be enough to use in Fatip Piccolo. Today, the first shave, for shaving I used cold water, pre-treatment of the face with oil, foam, which I whipped with a brush, two passes - one in the direction of hair growth, the other in the opposite direction, and minimal polishing. After shaving, I treated my face with an ice cube from a tincture of steppe herbs, and after five minutes with an after shave cream. Cuts, blood and irritation are completely absent. I got a full bbs. The SATINEX 2000 PLATINUM PLUS blade in the Fatip Piccolo razor was sharp, but not excessive, and smooth. The razor felt a slight resistance on the stubborn chin of the chin on the first pass. In other places and in the second pass, the razor slid like a knife in butter. Today's shaving brought a lot of positive emotions. Sincerely, Eugene.

I greet everyone. Today, the second use of the blades SATINEX 2000 PLATINUM PLUS, received as a generous PIF from Igor (Spase_Cadet), in the Fatip Piccolo SE OC razor. Today's shaving was practically the same as previous shaving, except that the growth of stubble was three days, and I cut off two small pimples on my lower lip, getting two small drops of blood. Again BBS and a large number of positive emotions from shaving. The blade test continues. Sincerely, Eugene.

I just had the best shave of my life, and had to tell someone so:

Fatip Piccolo (mk2) / Feather blade / Extro bay rum soap / Simpson ‘the Duke’ 2 brush / alum / Floid vigoroso / Nivea sensitive balm

Just wished I had a more face so I could keep going...
... That’s all. Thank you
