I do! All my Fatip Woods have nickel plated heads! Now where to spend this wooden nickel? I'm feeling blessed.

Please do!The Big Bruce is my wife's brush, and she uses the Fatip Wenghe more often now I have the Black Tie. I haven't used the Musgo yet, but am dying to get to it. Will report!
Hey, It took a while but I did break into that Claus Porto Musgo Classic Scent. It's green. The two main aromas are coconut and witch hazel, it's not as bad as you might think. Not a super-masculine scent and does not linger after shaving. The green shaving cream turns to kind of white once rubbed on your face (I was on vacation and I didn't bring a brush).Please do!
Just got the Fatip Piccolo Mk1 and I'm happy to report that blade alignment is SPOT ON PERFECT.
This is a completely different animal to the Mk2. Lots of blade feel, flexing, chatter, very loud feedback. Despite this I shaved as carelessly as I do with the Mk2 and got no nicks or weepers. I'll keep on using it during the following week, then go back to Mk2 and decide which should be kept as my daily driver.
This is my first Piccolo handle and I honestly like it more than the Grande.
Interesting how we like different handles. I strongly dislike and don't do well with the Piccolo handle. A Grande handle transforms a Piccolo razor into a far better instrument (for me).
Congratulations on the Mk1. I like all my Fatips (and the Schöne and the Plisson), but my favorite by far is the Mk1 Grande.
I suspect my in transit Fatip Slant will be another favorite but already I'm hoping the model they "copied" was the Mk1 and not the Mk2.
Happy shaves,
Jim

God, will you guys stop it with the whole Fatip Slant being in transit thing...Only one shave in. Time will tell what my preference ends up being. I'll try it with the Grande handle after a week. We must amuse ourselves while the slant is in transit.

Thank you for the write up. Now you have me curious. I'm going to go through my Fatip drawer and compare all baseplates. So, the Mk1.2 is a notch up. At some point I'm probably going to have my caps and baseplates all mixed up because of threads like this...thanks, Vlad, thanksToday I changed the base plate between the Fatip Grande mk2 and the Piccolo mk1. I noticed the mk2 base plates are thicker and slightly heavier, profile/curvature being identical. The result is absolutely perfect balance for the Piccolo in the hand, and a notch up on efficiency + aggressiveness. This little thing is amazing. The Grande even though is with pleasantly thicker handle, it's less balanced, less manoeuvrable, less grippy.
Today's shave was with the tweaked Piccolo mk1.2 and a BIC Chrome Platinum on a second shave, and I barely survived. There was blood. A proper gore.
