Luxury Shave™️
Got a new razor and a new soap. I didn't use the new soap for this luxury shave, but I did use the new razor.
I've been hemming and hawing about getting this razor for well over a year, and finally decided the time was right to part with $32 in order to get one.
I'm so glad I did! It has all of the charm of a Fatip, but, dare I say, none of the bite! It's too early to say, and this is just a first impression, but this razor is right up my alley.
I've used a Fatip il Piccolo (their standard OC non-slant head, and a Piccolo handle), and I have a Fatip Classic Lo Storto OC Slant to compare this with.
It feels mild, but I think it's one of those razors that might lull you into a false sense of security. A light touch goes a very long way. I only had a little bit of growth since shaving 10 hours ago, but as @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social says, "the same number of hairs". A very nice, close shave.
Second Luxury Shaves ++
I've enjoyed the Lo Storto OC Slant, less bite than its reputation.
“the same number of hairs”
That's right, just shorter slices 🙂
I like the slant better than the non-slant. It's slightly less scrapey.
@walden
I've only tried the two slants (Lo Storto, and Lo Storto Testa Gentile). I agree that they aren't scrapey
