I know. It came up for sale from Italy, but it sold before I could purchase it. The very next day it was back up for sale. It seems whoever bought it the sale fell through. I was prepared and bought it immediately. The seller had relisted it 30 minutes prior to that.

Has anyone ever tried an old narrower cap on a Gentile? I love mine, I like the feel of the closed comb more, but like the efficiency of the Grande more and curious if finding and an cap would make a difference.

Fumbling about.
Isn't there a rule that you have to have at least as many razors as years of age? I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere.
It looks like you've gotten a great start on your collection, and the Slant has not even hit the market. Think of all the possibilities it may present, Mr. Ambassador.
Happy shaves,
Jim
I haven't. TobyC used to recommend putting an OLD Type cap on the older Mk1 Fatips to tame them. My stock 1980's Fatip Classic has a cap that is 19mm in width like the Mk2 Fatips but thinner. I normally only shave with Fatips stock, but in the case of my classic I made an exception and tried it with the new Mk2 cap for one shave. I immediately went back to the stock cap on my classic because it was smoother. The difference between the 1980's Fatip cap compared to the new Mk2 Fatip cap is pretty negligible though. The OLD Type caps will fit nicely on the Fatip base plate. You should try it on your Gentile, for science, and report back what you find.
I am getting older I guess. I would never want to be 19 again lol. I have two Fatip Noce Woods to get yet (The OC and CC). Then I must have the Slants when they are released. I must have them in both chrome and nickel (everyone knows that nickel plated Fatips are better shavers
) if that is an option. If they release them in all the wood handles as well I must have them all!

Nickel for sure for me. If there are options I always want nickel.
Well, I'd take silver or gold, but in the real world it's...
Right, Rave?
Happy shaves,

Absolutely right!
