Fatip OC design is the best on the planet IMO.

Stopped using the FOCS for a while…experimented with a few other razors and finally decided to come back. Highly doubt I’ll try anymore….this razor just works and exceeds all others I have tried. I like it so much I just received my 2nd FOCS…a backup/travel razor.

I think “efficient” means removing hair with minimal effort but “aggressive” means the opposite of “smooth”.
The
is very efficient without being aggressive.
The PBOCS is very efficient and aggressive.

Used the FOCS just now on a 36-hour beard. One tiny pin-dot of blood on the lower lip (when will I learn not to try for BBS there???), easily styptic-penciled away. Near BBS, no irritation.

Fumbling about.
Loading the blade should be very simple. The video ⬇ below illustrates exactly how. They're not loading a Fatip Slant, but the technique is exactly as they show. Easy as ABC.
My guess is you're overthinking it or you have a weird razor or you have some little loading technique issue.
After you load your razor (as in the video) post some photos of the blade in the razor from various angles. Maybe it will show something.
It took me a while to get my head around how wonky looking a correctly loaded slant's blade can be. My Fatip Slant is always perfectly loaded, but it could look wrong to somebody without a lot of experience with Fatips and slant both of which are kinda weird. I have used other Fatips which required adjustment, but it amounted to very little fiddling once I figured it out. I had to look at how an aligned blade looks with a new set of eyes.
Wish I could help more. Probably somebody can.
Happy shaves,
Jim
I am waiting semi-patiently for a US dealer to get these in stock. I don’t know if I’ll actually pull the trigger and buy one, but they sure are pretty.
I honestly do not have to do anything with either of mine except drop the blade on the pins and assemble.
It is right every time.
I know some have apparently gotten a
with pins not aligned right but I believe a good % think theirs is not right but then find out it shaves perfectly.
The gold one looks so much better than chrome. Glad I held out on the chrome.

Indeed, it's a looker.
According to the retail prices here in Europe (29 Euro) the go-FOCS will likely retail in the US for approx. 36 - 38 USD.
So one does not break the bank to find out if it fits the needs...

The vendor, The Razor Company, is new to me. They have a good and extensive collection of products and an easy to navigate website. Thanks.
Couldn't resist. Gold FOCS on the way. 
I'm still resisting but finger close to the triggerCouldn't resist. Gold FOCS on the way.
I had never heard of The Razor Company until yesterday. Now they owe me.
I hope they deliver, or I'll never be able to set foot in this thread again.
