Fumbling about.
:facep: But then it wouldn't be a Piccolo. :a32:

The Piccolo is a great razor if you swap its handle for the handle of a Grande.

Happy shaves,

You are aware that Fatip makes other razors besides Piccolos and Grandes, right @Raven Koenes ? :a30:
Yes, I have them all! I think what you are suggesting, when I read between the lines, begins to borderline on a kind of calculus matrix. To get back to the OP, if you replace a Piccolo handle, with a Grande handle, it's not a better razor than a Grande.

Razor: Fatip Lo Storto Piccolo
Blade: Gillette Platinum (2)
Brush: Omega Evo Ovale
Soap: WK King of Oud
Post Shave: InstaSkincare Hyularonic Acid
Aftershave: Figaro Monsieur Ambre

My new Fatip Lo Storto Piccolo is absolutely perfect. It is now, officially, my favorite Fatip. I have two shaving accoutrements that I've now deemed the best in the universe: My Omega Evo Ovale and my FOCS Piccolo. A friend said that if I swap my Piccolo handle for a Grande the razor would be my favorite. I swapped handles and it was not better than my FOCS Grande. :tongue_sm I like my Piccolo handle better. It's more sporty. At least I gave his suggestion a try.

The Gentile is closed comb, right? How would you describe the difference in experience between the OC and CC Fatips and why your preference for the CC?

It's early, I meant to say Piccolo not Gentile. Having said that, I have the Lo Storto Gentile and Gentile. They are close to the Closed comb with a gentler feel. They are slightly less efficient. This makes me want to do extra work to achieve the same result. If I just do a quick shave with them, without worrying, the results are fine. They are definitely more efficient than Merkurs and Muhles. I just really like the results with the OC models because they give a very efficient shave with minimal effort.
