First shave with my Piccolo (OC) today. Put a RazoRock handle on it, as the standard one is too small for my liking. Quite hefty for its size though, being brass.
The posts seem a fraction smaller than the holes in the blade. This means you have to check it has the same amount of blade each side, even though it is sitting straight. This can be forgiven in such a cheap razor, I guess.
I thought this was going to be a bit of a beast. It isn't. I used my standard Shark SS blade and the razor was very smooth and quite a bit milder than my usual choices. You can feel the "teeth" but the overwhelming feeling was one of a "safe" shave. After 2 passes my face was super comfortable, but my neck was not quite as close as usual.
I wasn't sure where this would fit into my collection. I'll use it all week to be sure but my initial impression is that it'll make a nice easy-shaving travel razor and that the R41 Twist will jump back into the main rotation.
