Without even seeing this thread, I used my Fatip, Omega 49, Cella and Proraso Green AS this morning. I just didn't have an Italian blade!

This thread has single handedly piqued my interest in a Fatip.
I have successfully narrowed my razors to 5. I thought I was done. How does it compare to a New LC? Thats the only OC I have and my favorite razor of them all.
I find that one shim is perfect for me. A few others have tried it on the DE sub-forum; some found that it made the shave smoother, and some did not. Give it a try and see what you think.I'm curious about the shim. I've got my EJ shimmed but haven't tried it with the Fatip. How many are you using?
I have all 6 major varieties of the NEW and the Fatip is way more aggressive than all of them. It can easily cut you if you're not paying attention, but once you master it, it's so smooth and easily a daily razor. I found that adding one shim made it even smoother.I have successfully narrowed my razors to 5. I thought I was done. How does it compare to a New LC?

I have both and find the Fatip more aggressive/efficient, and at the same time smoother. I like the Old Type, but find it a bit more harsh.I have read opinions that put the FaTip with the Old Style open comb but I have no experience with that.
So we're getting pretty close to a R41? I've tried to handle that beast but never did completely tame it.
I have both the Fatip and the R41, and almost equal experience with both. I can shave with the Fatip completely on auto-pilot as fast as I want and don't worry about getting nicked.general opinion is a little less scary than the R41 but maybe some with experience with both will weigh in.

With the R41, I still have to pay attention; it's "grabbier" and the blade chatters more.
