pi_dash_rho@wetshav.ing 2 weeks ago@walden has said good things about it before. Also, I suggest trying the classic handle (hollow HD style). It’s slightly lighter but wider.

@walden@wetshav.ing which do you have?

A few have come across my desk. My favorite is the Classic Testina Gentile in Chrome.
Classic refers to the handle, and Gentile (Gentle) refers to the head. There’s also a slant Gentile I think, and maybe some other handle options.
I don’t know what Testina means. https://www.fatip.it/en/the-razor/
The Gentile head is mild-medium blade feel with above average efficiency. Brass construction.
Fatip threading is smaller than the standard, so Fatip handles won’t fit most other heads, but Fatip heads will fit other handles provided the threads are deep enough. Same as Gillette razors, but the threads are longer/deeper.

I have two FaTip slants. Il Piccolo Storto Originale (open comb, heavy/thin handle) and Lo Storto Gentile (closed comb, lighter/wider handle).
I swapped handles and prefer open comb with the wider handle. I’m a fan of slants and I’m moving towards more aggressive razors. RR Superslant L3 is my daily driver right now. L3++ is in the mail.
