Full-voiced singing is always good. There’s not enough of it these days

Ah, the good old Sea Shanties... and let's not forget Lulu:

I just ordered a chrome Fatip Piccolo because I don't have one in chrome. Well my Lo Storto Piccolo is chrome, but it's not the same. This makes sense to me. It's not like I have enough Fatips, right?

RIGHT!

SOTD:
Razor: Fatip Lo Storto Piccolo
Blade: New Gillette Platinum (?)
Brush: Omega Evo Ovale
Soap: Proraso Green (Tub)
Post Shave: InstaSkincare Hyularonic Acid
Aftershave: Proraso Green (Splash)

I had a really nice shave using my Fixed Five For March line up. Everyone else is doing a fixed four. My fixed four line up goes up to five just like Spinal Tap's amps go up to eleven instead of ten. That's how I see it.

P.S. The chrome Fatip Piccolo I ordered shipped today.

This was my last shave of my Fixed Five For March Madness. I've participated in them every year. This was the best one ever for me. I will miss it and look forward to next year.

Here's my participation badge I gave myself:

There is one and only one solution, Rave.

Questions...

• Is there any such commercially available thing as a FOCS Piccolo?
• When is the nickel FOCS coming out?
• The Joris-Plisson FOCS (which won't be what it's called and it might have nine teeth)?

Happy shaves,

Jim

Have seen them for sale at Maggards

When is the nickel FOCS coming out?

Yes, when does Fazzini Ilario d.i. Premana want to take my money?

Okay, at least two places selling Lo Storto Piccolo razors and none selling nickel plated Lo Storto Originale for now.

...and Gifts and Care was a long standing B&B member. I don't know if he is still current, but his customer service is above top notch.

Rave, yours is an amazing collection of Fatips. Who knew there were so many?

I did not know you already had a good representative of this rabbit hole.​

Maybe when they come up with a slant?

Mrs. Rave is undoubtedly planning to buy you one of these on your 50th anniversary.​

At least there is hope, right?

Now, we have here the true unicorn.​

Your collection is amazing, Rave. I loved seeing the great photos.

Happy shaves,

Jim

Piccolo SE

Wait! I thought no KBG was allowed. What gives?

Shhhh! I snuck it in under the radar. I told her it was gunmetal black and brass.

Thank you Jim. The cost of some things begs discretion, like my Joris and MdC Vetyver. I won't be holding my breath until my 50th. That's a ways off. It would be splendid though. I can picture it, gold Fatips raining down on me like Premana Mana from Italy Heaven.

Good thing there is no King's Butt Palladium, right.

Yes, thankfully there isn't, but if there was a KBP my Joris could handle the job in one wtg pass, easily.

⬆ Been there. Skeg aground. Fouled the prop.

Sometimes wind. Sometimes gearbox went on strike. Sometimes too much beer on board.

My 16' V-Drive Hemi boat was a hot-box, no neutral, no reverse. Start the motor and you are moving. The trailer was made of wood and floated once the boat was launched. Six drunken boaters had to stand on the trailer to sink it and load the boat for the drive home. We usually didn't remember the drive home.
