As you are the only guy with your face... there's only one way to find out, Private Ryan.So would the OC and Gentile plates that come with the Piccolo actually offer that much of different shave to what I already have?

Let us know how it works out for you.Just ordered mine from Connaught this very day.
I'm as happy as a pig in a mud wallow!
Will do!Let us know how it works out for you.
Nice! I thought it best if I went with the standard Pic in the end, seeing as I'd also slipped an ikon X3 in my basket too!Just ordered mine from Connaught this very day.

Mine arrived today to join the rest of the fatip razors mk2 as well as mk1. Can't wait to use it !
I love both the original open comb and the more recent testina gentile and this is a good deal but.....
damn, this color combination hurts my eyes. It is so 'the godfather' bad taste. Sorry.
"Bad Taste" is a subjective matter. If we all liked the same thing then life would be dull and that thing would be very expensive.I love both the original open comb and the more recent testina gentile and this is a good deal but.....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.It's truly hideous, agreed.

nice. Hope to grab one soon.Here you go:
First shave with the Piccolo Special edition using the Gentile plate, hampered a bit by my having caught a bug, which put me off.
After three passes ATG I ended up with what could have been a BBS, but I spoilt it. There was a tiny area that I missed completely - my fault entirely.
I feel that this setup delivers as clean a shave as the Rockwell 6c on R6. This razor is more agile somehow and is much easier to use between the nose and upper lip. However I let the shave down today - I feel sure that the razor could do better if I was feeling more like my normal self. Operator error - bah!
The "Gentile" name is very appropriate - a smooth shave with no nicks, weepers or irritation. This makes it ideal for "a shave in a hurry" when needed. It does not allow "chatter" and does not skip, even on neck area "folds".
The blade was a fresh Asco (Orange pack), soap Arko, brush Omega 10083 S-Brush Pro.
This razor is a pleasure to use, and this was a great start marred by human error.
Sorry to hear that. How do you hold it? I use my thumb on one side and the two fingers next to the thumb on the other, which works for me. However , my hands are small. I don't feel the need to have the end of the handle against my palm or anything like that.Well my Piccolo arrived and I've given it a test drive. Whilst it gives an 'ok' shave, I just can't get on with the handle. Great weight, but just a tad too small for my hands. Oh well, you live and learn!
