Isn't that a fixed three if you use a straight?
Only kidding, of course.
will give this some serious thought tonight and tommorow.Your choice camo, but we'd love your company.
My FOCS Piccolo has the edge over my Piccolo. Both are enjoyable to use. My Lo Storto has the edge none-the less. Of course, that's my opinion, and the user will always have their personal preference. I'm just saying that as someone who has tried a few Fatips.You could read the *Fatip Slant* thread, it's only 116 pages long (currently).

You can get the Fatip Slant Piccolo now which is very nice. I've been using it most of this month and will be using it in the Fixed Four. The slant shaves very similarly to the standard Piccolo, has most of the same attributes, a very smooth and effective razor. I like the slant a bit more, but don't think it's an earth-shattering difference.Just one question...as I'm on edge to buy it...is FOCS so much better than normal FaTip Piccolo or is it just popular choice now? I'm really enjoying my little FaTip...but seeing here that most of you use slant...well...? Is it?
Update with pic.Razor: Razorock SLOC

I was going to try to wiggle around the rules by swapping different Piccolo handles on my Piccolo Lo Storto throughout the month, but Cal said swapping handles is out. So, I'm making an educated guess that swapping out Proraso scents with the same base (white, red, and green), and using my multiple Omega S-brushes with the same shaped, different colored handles, and same knot size is out as well. I guess this means having to narrow down my fixed four to a fixed four?Not a problem. Much appreciated, my friend.

Somebody needs to do a Fixed |
Probably me |
To think, you were my inspiration.
Assumption correct.Pictured is the B plate on the razor. I assume there is no swapping plates allowed.
I've just taken a while making up my mind, Eric.@Cal i didn’t see your four, unless you are using the same four as last year?
What do you use for your seamless background?I've just taken a while making up my mind, Eric.
