I'm going to use this combo again tomorrow to ensure it wasn't a fluke. But regardless I plan to eventually use the Piccolo handle again. Since it's only ATG under my nose that's giving me trouble. The smaller handle is probably a little harder to master. Glad I bought those 2 Fatips, Black Tie OC & Piccolo Gentile, at the same time.
Small correction: When I wrote "closer shave XTG helps out with the ATG pass" I was talking about under the nose. I'll probably get a FOCS at one point, so I'll just use that handle, for now it's Piccolo for me, so I'll see how that goes... I think I might end up in the Grande camp
