Yesterday I received a Fatip Piccolo, I could hardly wait to try it out. I had read about the issues people have with Fatip razors - poor finish etc - so I took a close look. Nothing terrible, a scratch here and there. The pins had an unpolished attachment, but I wouldn't see that when shaving.
I got a blade, loaded it, checked if it was centered... Not even close! I tried to adjust it, but to no avail. So I grabbed a ruler to see what was going on:
The pins aren't properly centered. They're off by about 0.5mm, which is shown by the 1mm difference in the pictures.
I do think this says something about quality control at Fatip, and it's very disappointing.
What does it look like with a blade? Let me introduce Dr Jekyll:
And here's Mr Hyde:
The split personality razor.
