Let us know how you make out with it. A small change in angle, seems to make a pretty big difference in feel. At least for me.
What is your most efficient razor that you can share with daily?

I think that’s pretty spot on about the Fatip. You have a lot of control about how you want your shave to be and I think that’s part of the appeal.
For me it's the ATT Windsor H1.
I can use a Gillette pre war tech to get bbs every day. Also can use an att H1 daily
Brother Czar,
You mentioned the Muhle R89 as being ineffective with your tough whiskers and sensitive skin. I too have tough whiskers and sensitive skin My best performing razor arguably is my Muhle R89 that is double shimmed below the working blade.
And amazing shave, that is close and comfortable!

I tried it and you are correct. But you have to maintain a precise angle, slightest change and it will not work for you. While it is OK for above jaw are where you are doing straight down strokes, it becomes a hustle when you are going down and especially in curved spots. I have a couple of razors which don't have this problem so I will stick with them.

I use my Gillette birth quarter (H2) pretty much daily. DFS everytime. Love it and some Arko.
ATT Windsor C R. I have about a dozen DEs, some vintage, some modern. The Windsor cured my RAD. I never reach for anything else now.
Difficult choice, but for a tough beard it would be either my Gillette New type or Old type.

Muhle R41 is the most efficient in my den. Before I entered the vintage rabbit hole, I used it daily.

For me it's the Wolfman WR1/WRH1. 3 pass BBS with no touch ups ever.
My Gillette Toggle on any setting.
If you go back to it every once in a while, your opinion might change at some point in the future. At first I wasn't much of a fan. It's still not really my favorite razor, but I do enjoy using it. Especially when I want to try something quite different. The Fatip really came into its own for me when I loaded it up with a Voskhod blade.
Rockwell 6S with plate 4, though plate 3 is really enough for me for daily use.
RFB & close behind is my New DeLuxe
Karve SB-C or Gillette red tip.
My preference is mild/moderate razors paired with sharp blades! I can use these every day without problems. For example the Wolfman WR1/GSB that I used for a BBS this AM!!
