New Fatip Closed Comb

Gairdner · Saturday November 14, 2015

Or to give it its proper name, the Fatip Testina Gentile. Anybody used one of these?

Looks very interesting and I'd be keen to read folks thoughts and opinions whether they've used one or not. Are Fatip handles also brass or is it just the heads?

The handle on the Piccolo is solid brass,not sure about the larger handles.

Weight is given as 2.4oz = 68g so not overly heavy.
$33 which is about Â£22 ish - might be worth a punt at that price. Would be easy enough to pass on I would have thought if you didnt get on. The advert claims that this is a milder razor.

Well, Ive just pulled the trigger on the black one.
I'll let you know how it shaves! Shipping was a bit steep at $10

I've been hovering over the open comb for months. Reason for my hesitation is I just don't need another razor.

Taking one for the team, good man! I'm too skint with Christmas coming and a wee girl who just doesn't seem to know what she wants. Hasn't asked for anything beyond a 101 Dalmatians notepad and keeps saying, "I just don't know what I want". Least she's not being greedy....

Ach I just pressed the button on the Fatip Grande.
Months of restraint to no avail.
You guys just grip my shit.

I can find no 'hands on' reviews as of yet.

Bogeyman · Sunday November 22, 2015

Still no reviews as I am nervously scanning the Internet and being very curious about this razor. VERY.

Father Ted · Sunday November 22, 2015

I'll let you know when it arrives.
Got my Semogue brush from Portugal (which was ordered after this razor) yesterday, so Im hopeful it will show up next week.

Bogeyman · Sunday November 22, 2015

Thanks, Ted.

Still waiting for this.... Order placed on the 14th - assuming they are closed Sat & Sunday, and then taking into account the following:

Is still 8 or 9 days since it should have been put in the post. Surely it cant be far away - I could have hitch-hiked from Italy quicker....

I do hope its worth the wait!
