Another excellent presentation. I'm up to 3 razors now having discovered SN in January and considering what the 4th will be. The geography of the razor blades is interesting, crazy how geopolitics can get in your face every morning....

Bought this beautiful little razor the other day. Absolute bargain for what it is and gives a glassy finish even with the mild Derby extra blades I use in it. Honestly so good!

After watching your review I ordered this beauty and honestly it's the first razor I own that shaves that close. A lot of blade feel to it but it does a great job on my tough beard. Used an astra green blade in it, but I think I might even try a more aggressive blade in it. All in all an amazing razor! Both visually and performance-wise. And as always, great presentation by the almighty Geo. Respect!!!

Hi Geo- Great shave and razor review; thank you! Beautiful-looking razor! I don’t have a slant bar razor, but this could be my first, with the solid bar. Have a great weekend and be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Geo!

I watched your video on rinsing the razor with cold water, I’m glad you’re still doing that. I will never rinse my razor with hot hot water again. Great video by the way. That’s a strange look razor, I’ve seen them, but this is the first video I’ve seen someone actually use one. Great video, keep up the great work.👍🏻👍🏻

Geo💈🪒💈 Nice shave with the Fatip, took off the growth no problem. Don't see too many videos of Fatip razors, used to years ago but not lately. Refreshing to see them showcased again. Right now I'm guilty of not owning one given the aggressive nature of the brand but that may change shortly. Great demo and review, well done, thanks. See ya next time. Enjoy!

Awesome to see a whole new collection of Fatip razors in your store. Brass will last longer.

Well thought out-out and well designed slant razor. If Geo only does two passes, it’s gotta be real !

Geo! Nice looking FaTiP! Didn't know they made a slant. Love my IKON 102 slant. Have a great weekend 👊🏽❤

The Lo Storto Originale is my favorite razor. I was very sceptical before I used it for the first time, because of the small handle. But it has a good weight and fits perfectly in my hands.

This is my favorite razor to use, I love how it shaves 2-3 days of growth like a hot knife through butter. Although I am not brave enough to load it up with a Feather blade.

Thank you for sharing another great review. ❤️🇨🇦

Beautiful shave Geo! Fatip makes some good looking razors:)

Hey Geo. Nice razor demo with the FaTip slant. I own the chrome one and love it now that I have gotten use to its. It seems to do best with a multi-days growth. Not for the beginner IMO. Take care and be safe.

Yeah Fatip make some great and very affordable razors. I have the Piccolo and Grande (same head, just different handle) and those are very good, in terms of aggressiveness similar to the R41 I thought about buying the Lo Storto, as the only slant I have is the Razorock german 37, which is fine, but I like having a variety of razors to choose from.

going to Rome at end of April- was already on the lookout for Fatip and other italian shave products- would be my first slant!

I like Fatip razors. I have the Lo Storto as well as a Picolo handled special edition (which is a great razor but too small of a handle) and a few of the wood handled razors. All are very nice, but the wood handles are exceptionally nice feel.

Geo, I miss seeing your stock of supplies on shelves ready to pick and ship to your customers. Perhaps you can shoot an occasional video with that as your background like you did in your earlier videos. Stacks of supplies neatly on display have their own appeal.

Hey Geo, love the videos! I had a question about blade alignment on this razor. It looks like there are people who say aligning the blade to the top cap is right, and others saying this razor should be aligned to the comb. I understand that some slants are made to be aligned differently. Previously I had a Razorock German 37 slant which just would not align right, the left side of the blade always had more exposure, and the slanted right side barely showed anything. Wanted to hear your thoughts on what you feel is the right way to align it!

Love the shave videos. I cant believe how good the TOBS sandlewood smells. Would love to see gio review some scents and colognes from proraso and tobs🤙

Hey Geo, greetings from Italy! Such a timely video, for i happen to be searching for a top-notch slant bar razor. But forget Fatip, but rather tell me, truly: between the Fine Slant and Ikon Slant B1 or even the latest Konsul by Rex, which one would be the best for sensitive skin and for a someone who shaves once every three to four days? Let me know and keep up the great work!

I got my fatip today and used already good razor

Which do ya think is more aggressive what you’re using in this video or the Muhler rocca?

I've had a Fatip Lo Storto for years now, and it's still one of my favorite razors. The feel is super smooth and very efficient. For the money, it is practically impossible to get a better razor - especially in Europe. The only "negative" is that the Fatip handles do not fit with any other razors. Meaning, just pick either a grante if you like the handle to be on the girthy side or a piccolo if you want it to be slimmer.

OK I am more interested int the Fatip lo storto. closed comb safety razor. any reviews on them. supposed to be a mild one.

You should take a glance at the El Fantasma from Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements. This thing has an unusual slant that gives the blade uneven exposure.

Is there a difference between slant and normal open comb ? I am thinking of buying a Fatip open comb..

Nice looking razors. I have heard that the finish on Fatip is poor and wears quickly. What is your take ?

Stop! I have too many DE razors already. Now I have to get Lo Storto. Open comb, check. Slant bar, check. Gold bling, check. Quite a unique little razor also.

I just got mine yesterday, and had a shave with TOBS grapefruit and Trafalgar T2. Not sure if I would call it aggressive, but very efficient while still being gentle to the skin. I'm curious how the Fatip would compare against something like a Merkur 37c

@frankseyen9156

2 жыл бұрын

I have the Merkur 39c and the Lo Storto Originale. I wouldn't call them both aggressive. The Lo Storto is more efficient, you are done after two passes. With the 39c you definitely need 3 passes and pick ups. Like all slantbar razors, it's best to pair them with a carbon steel blade like Astra green or Treet black beauty. Stainless blades are too stiff and you will easily get nicks.

@@danieltimonen103 the Black Beauties are a bit more sharp then the Astra green. But they only last like 2.5 shaves for me. With a honing device you can get another shave out of them. Trig blades are longer lasting and a little sharper. The Treet New Edge is not very sharp, if you like Derby Extras you will also like these. The Treet New Steel is extremely sharp, to me even sharper than a feather blade. They have lots of different blades, I haven't tried them all yet. Also Tatra (Tiger) has some carbonsteel blades (which I haven't tried yet). The only non carbon steel blades that I can recommend in a slant are Derby Ustra because they are very thin and because of that also very flexible. They are a lot sharper than the old green Extras, a bit more sharp than then new blue Extras, but not as sharp as the Premium. They are a bit hard to get because here in Germany they are only sold to turkish barbers. You have to order them via eBay directly from Turkish sellers and wait like 3 weeks. I have 4 slantbar Razors that I have used so far. The Parker 55SL is very aggressive. The Lo Storto and the Windrose are medium aggressive, the Li Storto can handle longer Hair better. The the Windrose is a great razor, you can choose from lots of different handles. But the head cloggs if you try to shave a 1 week old beard. The Merkur 39c is very mild. If you are daily shaving then go with the Lo Storto. If you want your shaving done in less than 5 minutes without being extra carefully, then this or the Windrose is your shaver. If you want something more aggressive, go with the Parker. I have 3 other historic German slant razors, but they are NOS and I want to keep it that way. Those are collectors items to me.

On the count of 1 to 10 what number will you give it in aggression

Dear geo, please shave with a wilking sword razor, the plastic one. You did it a while ago, but doesn´t count cause your beard was light. I buy that razor and i want to see your humble opinion. Thank you for being a good person for the community

There are so many Indian wet shavers who have made a review video on BSC razors. I own that razor and from my personal experience, I suggest you don’t buy it. The razor works and it helped me in learning the ropes of wet shaving but it’s not very efficient & soon I craved for a more aggressive (or efficient) razor and bought Parker 94r (after watching geo’s review of course) Also, FYI, I had to exchange the BSC razor multiple times because of blade alignment and exposure issues. BSC has great customer service and always replied on time and resolved my query. If you don’t have a coarse beard (which I do not have either) and want a milder razor as compared to 94r, you can go for 87r by Parker. Geo has reviewed both on his channel. 94R should not be your first DE razor as it is aggressive enough and you will nick yourself. I hope this helps you in making a good purchase!

@@geofatboy​​​ I’ve been wet shaving for only three years and unfortunately haven’t tried many products, but Astra (green) and Feather are my go to blades and I really love both of them. Didn’t you say, “I guess, maybe, I shouldn’t say any Voskhod, Rapira, any of those, even the Astra is made in St. Petersburg”? So it made me wonder why?

This is an excellent razor, but I find it is most aggressive (not efficient, aggressive) when shaved with a steep angle. Shaving with a shallow angle retains the efficiency of the razor but makes it shave substantially more smoothly. If you can see the open comb marks in your lather, your angle is too steep!
