Hi gents! My go-to razor is a Fatip Originale Picollo (Special Edition) that I bought just under a year ago. Virtually from day one the finish on the cap started wearing off. Now, despite that it is still by a margin my favourite razor. (Even the golden Lo Storto Originale I acquired later cannot match its efficiency.) As far as I can see, the brass cap seems to have three finish layers, a lacquer layer on top, black paint underneath and a bottom layer that looks chrome/nickel. The chrome/nickel layer is super glossy and perfect for my needs. I believe the lacquer layer is pretty easy to scratch off, even with my finger nails. I read before that some people 'repolished' their caps. What tools did you use? Chemicals or mechanical removal? (I don't have a professional workshop at hand!)
I mounted the head on the handle of my Lo Storto as the original black handle is also wearing off a bit.
Please don't try to convince me to buy some stainless alternative! It's Fatip for me. Nothing matches its performance!
