Fatip slant

[Dave-the-rave]

So where's all the reviews then??? Somebody must have bought one. It all seems like a big secret.

I am really curious, too.

I saw that Connaught Shaving now have both models in stock.

The only review I've seen is the mad guy in Italy but I don't speak Italian.

Sono nuovo di questo forum. Ho un FATIP delicato, la testa è molto curva, difficile da usare per me.
Ho difficoltà a trovare la giusta inclinazione per fare una buona rasatura. Qualcuno può aiutarmi ? Grazie

I posted some elsewhere. Basically: not a bad slant at all, provided you ride the cap.

It would help if people would name the razor in question. I would expect the Gentile and the OC to be two different razors, much like the Grande/Picallo and the Gentile. If anyone has the Gentile slant how does it compare to the original Gentile?

There's an OC and a CC slant. That's the only difference between the two. Same size, same handle, same "slantiness". What I wrote above goes for both, where I have a slight preference for the OC.

The only difference is one is the open comb and one is safety bar? They don't shave differently? One isn't more aggressive/efficient than the other?
Can you understand why I might be asking those questions? The original OC Grande/Picollo and Gentile SB absolutely do not shave the same so the curious, like myself, are wondering about the slants. If they both shave the same I'll take your word for it but I would be surprised.

Wat I wrote on shavinguniverse:
First of, my CC and OC are both well-produced. No visible issues, plating is done well, no parts breaking of although we know of cases where that happened, just nice. Packaging is nice too, although in my case the inside of the packaging was damaged, as if the razors had been shoved in roughly.
There's apparently some freedom in tolerances: in my OC the blade aligns automatically to the baseplate, nice in the middle, no wiggling room to speak of. In my CC the blade has wiggling room so care must be taken to place it in the middle, and then it is possible to align to the cap or the base.
The handle holds nice, not slippery, stable, all fine. If anything, th point where the shaft changes into the knob (talking razorhandles here folks) is a bit sharp-edged.
When shaving, the razor performs best with the blade aligned to the base. Aligned to the cap the shave is a bit rough, not very pleasant, and not very efficient either. Aligned to the base the shave is a lot more comfortable, though less so than for instance with a Merkur 37, ATT S1/S2, PAA Bakelite slant. First shaves were not that efficient, but getting better each time, and with a few more shaves I'm convinced there will be perfect shaves possible every time. It's just that with some other available options, that point is reached much easier.
This is way better than the Yaqi slant or the ATT S1 in aluminum (I dislike that one utterly, made a mess of my face where I love the SS S1), but lags a bit behind Merkur 37/39, PAA bakelite slant or ATT S1.

Thanks for sticking with me and sorry if I sound like I'm flogging a dead horse. The above part of your post doesn't clarify which razor you are referring to ie the OC or CC. Can you clarify that both shave the same, that both the OC and Gentile ''lag a bit behind Merkur 37/39, PAA bakelite slant or ATT S1''.

Thanks for your patience. Again my reason for asking is because the original (non slant) Fatips in OC and CC are two very different shavers, and one would be forgiven for thinking the two slants would also be different.

It goes for both, even though they shave different. Difference has a lot to do with tolerances: there is next to no wigglingroom for the blade in my OC, and quite a bit in the CC. Aligned correctly, the CC is a bit milder, and a bit less efficient than the OC.
