What's new

Fatip/Joris handle sizes and handle name thread, post all here!!

I spent some time last night comparing my Chrome Fatip Grande with my neighbor's, he got the same model razor. It does appear that someone at Fatip or the retailer packaged this razor with the incorrect head top. The lug on my Chrome does have a narrower lug than my neighbor's. Perhaps this is a Polished Nickel head on a Chrome model base, as it appears Fatip's Polished Nickel razor takes a different handle size than the Chrome--ugh! It may have been that someone simply made a mistake during final assembly. So it goes. My neighbor called me this morning and raved about his first Fatip shave. I gave him a couple packs of Astra SPP blades to try and he feels that the Astras are sufficiently sharp for him. Here's an aside for you, I thought this was funny, he put a note near the razor addressed to his wife, "Don't even think about it!" I'll give my Fatip update when I get my new one next week.
How unfortunate, at least you now know that it was not a proper razor. Hope you get the correct one soon.
 
Parker 91R handle
Just took receipt of a Parker 91R and tried the handle on my Fatip, Gillette Tech, and DE89. The handle fit all three razors.

Improper fit on my Fatip
However, even though the handle locked up on my Fatip, it had a lot of play in the threads on the way to locking up and when tightened against the head, it had a less than firm feel as it locked up--it actually lacked that firm thread-to-barrel feel. I'm sure the handle will fit a proper Chrome Fatip Grande, as others have found, but on my *** Fatip, lock-up was not true--the lock-up felt mismatched. I'll wait for the other Chrome Fatip Grande I've order to come and try the Parker 91R barrel on it. There's no reason to post photos since Win and Tony have posted exceptional images of their Parker handles on their Fatips. May I share their Fatip-Parker joy in the near future. The 91R barrel is decent for about $28 U.S.

Revised for tomorrow's shave
Too excited to wait: I placed two wraps of Teflon tape around the Fatip's lug and threaded the 91R; it fits good and I'll use it tomorrow--I miss shaving with the Fatip that much. The razor weighs 2.8 ounces (80 grams).
Thanks for the update, and try to restrain yourself from shaving with a improper threaded Fatip.:thumbup:
 
A few additions to the Fatip Piccolo:

Weber Classic (original) does fit
Feather AS D1 does fit
Gillette New Fat Handle does fit
Gillette Tech Fat Handle does fit

Special Note: my iKon Bulldog handle DOES fit my Piccolo (I see where someone else's did not)

Thank you for your help Sam, B&B will appreciate it very much.

Alex, you're right. I shouldn't allow my zeal to override common sense re my current Fatip/91R handle admix. I'll wait for the new one to come in. If it is flawed, I am moving on to a Joris; if, however, the 'incoming' Fatip fits other handles as other Chrome Grand Fatips, I'll feel the love. Time to be a patient wet shaver--Thanks for the sensible suggestion. Had a great shave this morning with my Tech/Feather blade. Awaiting the new Chrome Fatip Grande... will update after I've taken receipt.

My Chrome Fatip Grande is 'out for delivery'. I'll have later today and fire it up tomorrow. I'll let you guys know if my EJ and Parker barrels fit (fingers crossed this time 'round) when I get it late this afternoon. The mantra for the day is, "Fatip--come home."

Fatip Received
First the good news: I got it; the not-so-good news is that the lug fits only the Parker (91R) barrel and Feather AS-D1 barrel. EJ barrels don't fit. It appears, judging from the guys who have their Fatips for some time, that Fatip is now using a narrower lug than it had been using. Perhaps they have a different head manufacturer--I don't know. I also had to watch how the blade locked up: I had to hold it to ensure equal blade exposure on either side of the head. It may shave great, I'll find out tomorrow a.m. However, I'd say my next move will either be an R41 or a Joris, and I'm leaning toward a Joris as I feel the R41 may be too much razor for me. Even if the Fatip shaves great, no more slipshod manufacturing for me and no more Fatips. I simply cannot say that I 'love' the newest run of Fatip razors, I may, however, like it if it delivers under 'load' tomorrow. Let me off this soap box before I get knocked off.

Also
I use Omega boar brushes, and prefer them over my badger brushes, but I ordered (and received today) a Semogue SOC--I've read so many favorable reviews on B&B that I felt compelled to try one. I'll give it several weeks to break in before making a judgement call on the SOC. I found an Omega that I love, 80080 Beehive Variant: great size and great lather for about $11.00 U.S. I'm sure the Fatip will deliver when I shave with it, but the company's rationale for using the odd-sized lug escapes me.

Tried the new Chrome Fatip Grande this a.m.--just didn't feel right. I put it down, may end up 'chucking' this hay rake, and reached for my Tech. I'm done with Fatip, guys. It's an official SK, for you code guys. I should have been keying CQD with this razor. The Gillette Old OC I had tried actually delivered a far smoother shave--the Fatip just didn't feel right.
 
The first one I bought cuts great and I like the way it shaves, but has a lug issue re fitting handles. The second one I got, Chrome Grande, still had a lug issue, and this one didn't position the blade properly, so I centered it as best I could and the shave just didn't feel comfortable and the razor wasn't cutting uniformly. I'm done buying Fatips but will use the first one I bought with the original handle, I won't, however, be buying any more Fatips or trying to fit them with other handles. It's simply not worth the expense. The first one I bought cuts great and I'll use it--but I cannot alter the handle I use on it without wrapping the lug with Teflon tape to get another handle to fit and I dislike the cheap stock handle. Anyway, I'm done with trying to fit a barrel to a Fatip and with buying Fatips. I still like OC razors, but I will not invest in any way in Fatips.

I have to say as I said on either this or another thread that my neighbor got a Chrome Fatip Grande last week and it fits different barrels and the blade sits properly in the head. I can't figure out Fatip's manufacturing and quality control.

Tried the new Chrome Fatip Grande this a.m.--just didn't feel right. I put it down, may end up 'chucking' this hay rake, and reached for my Tech. I'm done with Fatip, guys. It's an official SK, for you code guys. I should have been keying CQD with this razor. The Gillette Old OC I had tried actually delivered a far smoother shave--the Fatip just didn't feel right.

The FaTip is a great razor head, but with a heavier handle. I would never use a FaTip with the original handle. its too crude in balance. You must try a Joris which is what many love once they try it.
 
The first one I bought cuts great and I like the way it shaves, but has a lug issue re fitting handles. The second one I got, Chrome Grande, still had a lug issue, and this one didn't position the blade properly, so I centered it as best I could and the shave just didn't feel comfortable and the razor wasn't cutting uniformly. I'm done buying Fatips but will use the first one I bought with the original handle, I won't, however, be buying any more Fatips or trying to fit them with other handles. It's simply not worth the expense. The first one I bought cuts great and I'll use it--but I cannot alter the handle I use on it without wrapping the lug with Teflon tape to get another handle to fit and I dislike the cheap stock handle. Anyway, I'm done with trying to fit a barrel to a Fatip and with buying Fatips. I still like OC razors, but I will not invest in any way in Fatips.

I have to say as I said on either this or another thread that my neighbor got a Chrome Fatip Grande last week and it fits different barrels and the blade sits properly in the head. I can't figure out Fatip's manufacturing and quality control.
Thats why I started this thread, they have fit/handle issues.....get a Joris, 10 times better.

I am getting more and more tempted to try one (Joris). I just wish they sold only the head, I am not a fan of their handles to be honest. They're too elegant looking for me, and a bit bulbous...odd thing to say I realize but it's the best way to convey how I feel about them. Depending on how happy I am when I receive my replated nickel Fatip back from Dave @ West Coast Razors, I just might get one.
