I could send a chrome one to my nephew when they bring out the gold ones...
Out of all the threads I’m in this is the best.
That’s a great idea. See, problem solved.

And it’s every time I use this slant. I’m surprised I haven’t bought another with my purchasing habits.Shave 20200630

May I ask how the Fatip Lo Storto Originale compares with the Blackland Dart?
The Dart has way more blade feel and audible feedback. Efficiency I can't say without a side by side. They're probably close, I have a feeling the Fatip has the edge.

Thank you. I‘m on a delusional, shifting quest and enjoy these data points. And the Lo Storto Originale’s cool handle.
I always loved Fatips, and I love the look of slant razors, although I was never a huge fan of their shave. Seeing Fatip had released a slant was enough to pull me out of the straight razor habit I'd got into. Just ordered the OC version.

Fumbling about.
Oh, my...
So folks, are we FOCS folks funs?
Visiting this site for the first time in a couple years, it's interesting to see that Fatip still has a mixed reputation. I owned two (the first of which came in the blue & white box), and really liked them. I'll be the first to admit, they didn't look "refined," yet solid brass construction, well plated in chrome, and still very reasonably priced. At the time there weren't a lot of options on new razors, so it really stood out.
Ultimately I found I preferred my vintage razors and flipped the Fatip. That said, their slant looks great, I look forward to trying it.

The young challenger comports itself well. But Shake Sharp still takes it. With the two blades it has a bit of an efficiency advantage which is enhanced by the feedback it gives. It's much harder to do pick-ups to get to BBS with the Fatip because you just don't get that feedback. It's a near silent killer (perhaps even more with the shim?). It's amazingly efficient but does not quite dethrone the Shake Sharp as my favorite. Fresh Tatras. Two stacked blades in the Shake Sharp, one bottom shim in the Fatip.

My twisted FaTip with a classy soap.
Fatip Lo Sorto OC
Derby Premium 2 in one, first and last use ever.
Brush Muhle synthetic
Soap RR Aqua
3 pass head and face, face felt a bit rough (burning)
Alum block (dont use often)
Witchhazel medicated
Speick AS
Speick balm.
This was a BAD shave, that blade left me w 6 blood spots..(I have had 2 in 18m before); and this burning sensation
I think it's time for some Aloe Sun Burn gel.....
Last shave I used GSB in an R41 and was perfect.
Won't try these blades again....life is too short.....

Try something like Silver Star, Wizamet, Gillette 7 O'clock Yellow if available. A good mid-sharp blade.
I've used Silver Star, Wizamet and Bolzano in my FOCS with great success. I'll have to try a 7 O'clock Yellow next time.
