This "BBS November" business is ridiculous, so don't get your hopes up that I'll be some sort of regular participant.
I really wanted to use my Fatip Gentile, but I have no idea where it is. I just have a drawer with razors in it, and it's not in there. I just did some digging and I haven't used it since April 1st.
Edit: I searched my Discord messages and I think I've tracked down where it is... I sent it to someone to try in May.
Is this the Fatip Testina Gentile razor?
It's nice that it's made out of plated brass. What do you like about this one in particular?
That's the one. I'm not an expert, but I think "Testina" might refer to the handle, and "Gentile" is the head.
This model is my favorite of the ones I've tried (including Classic and Classic Slant). This is also my favorite handle of theirs that I've tried (including Piccolo and Lo Storto).
I typically prefer milder razors, but not too mild. The Gentile is close to a Gillette Tech, but it's arguably more efficient than a tech.
Cool, sounds great. Another to try when I get the opportunity. :)
Are you CONUS? I'm happy to send you mine to try once I get it back from the guy I lent it to.
I am, that would be awesome. Thank you!
I'm going to use it a few times when I get it back so if you see it in a SOTD feel free to PM me as a reminder.
Will do, thanks again. ❤️

I don't know but from where I'm sitting this looks suspiciously like a second luxury shave in November
I figured I'd give it a try. I won't be able to keep up for a whole month, though.
Not with that attitude 🙂
