Does a heavier handle change the shave Rob?

Hi Michael,

I've only used the Fatip piccolo once with its original handle once. I found it too small and basically cheap.
I've used the Fatip with the ATT Atlas, Kronos and the Blackbird 85mm handle.
I only use them for comfort. I don't think the weight adds anything to the shave.

I did try a heavier handle with Colonial The General aluminum version and I didn't think it changed the shave either.

However I did try the Weber wave handle on the ATT R1 and there was a notable difference. It made the shave move aggressive, which I didn't like.

Cheers
Rob

Sunday Shave

RazoRock Syn. 24mm
Tabac
ES S/S Claymore V1
Schick Proline Type P [ 13 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Tabac A/S Lotion

Another Shave with the Claymore, as I am rather intrigued to see how many good shaves I can get with the Schick blade. I most certainly never expected to get so many shaves out of one blade, as I really have quite a strong beard growth and have to shave daily.

With a nice slick lather from the Tabac, all went very well and without any problems attained a good close all round shave. For me this Razor/Blade combination seems ideal, though I have not tried it with the Feather Pro but somehow think the Proline might well be my blade of choice.

Pre....Shower
Razor....Parker adjustable set to 2
Blade....Personna 74 #11
Soap....SV Tundra Artica
Brush....Omega 48
Post....BBA Post shave balm
EDP....Oud 24 Hours

The more I use this razor the more I like it, helped along no doubt by the excellent Tundra Artica with its fab scent and great protection and slide, was left as smooth as can be. The Personna blade still going strong with no signs of drop off in performance .
Finnished with the wonder balm and a good spray of Oud 24, a good shave. :)

Have a good day people.......:)

Yep the Kai Captain Titan Mild (Pink) is still going smoothly I flip the blade over every 5th shaves, my next shave will be #25 when I finished my shave I flip the blade over again and keep going until I reach up to a total of 30 shaves max. and then I replace with a new blade. YMMV and some guys can reach up to a maximum of 30+ shaves either with a Kai Captain Titan Mild (Pink), Feather Pro Super, Feather Pro and the Schick Proline single edge blade.

After I reach up to a total of 30 shaves my next blade will be the Schick Proline with my General SE razor ;)
