The fact that you sell these and still are open about any drawbacks or issues people may have with this razor, shows your integrity.
I have never had any blade alignment issues with my Grande. It has been my daily shaver from the day I got it. And I have had it for over 3 years. I get a perfect shave with it every time.
titan90000 it’s very subtle. If you look closely you’ll see it if you tighten your razor down all the way
Thank you for your honesty in another great review video.
I have the v2 version Fatip Piccolo. It's my favorite razor out of 50 that I own. It's smooth and effecient. It rinses easy and as for the blade alignment, I actually enjoy adjusting it. The weight is perfect for a razor. Feels very good in your hand. I shave everyday with the Fatip. If you have good technique it's a great little shaver. The price is amazing, 20 bucks for the Piccolo. I don't agree with your overall rating. I would give it a 9.
Hi, just found your channel and I'm impressed with your razor reviews...well done and thank you.👍
This sets the new standard for video reviews of razors just as Maggard has set the new standard for customer service and shave shops in general.
No, the finish is not that bad! It may not be perfect, but minor imperfections are a sign of perfection. (...and what do you expect for that price anyway?)
A quick and easy way to distinguish the V1 from the V2 version is to look at the back of the base plate. The V1 is unmarked whilst the V2 has a small "Fatip" logo engraved. I have the old V1 and no problem with the blade attachment.
Piccolo is my favourite razor 👍
People are too picky, they post stupid comments on forums about Fatips. I own two since 2012 and I’ve never had a bad shave. I own the Grande and The Piccolo along with a Muhle R41, the king of aggressive razors. Guys complain about the finish but these razors are less than €25 and made of brass. Some pot metal razors cost double and are not half as good. I’ve just ordered a Fatip slant OC now too and a Muhle R94 Rocca stainless.
Hey, do you prefer the piccolo or the grande? I like the idea of the solid handle in the piccolo, but the gold plated grande is also very tempting. I'm leaning towards piccolo as most have said it feels marginally better than the grande.
@@MathiVelan I love all my Fatips. The Piccolo is special and you’ll like it. I bought the Slant and Gentile last January!
@@KRAZEEIZATION Wow your collection must be amazing! Do you think the grande or piccolo has better balance? I'd rather have a slightly head heavy razor than a very handle heavy razor.
@@MathiVelan the Piccolo has a solid handle and the grande is hollow. Both are great but I prefer the Piccolo as it’s heavier.
@@MathiVelan I agree with KRAZEEIZATION. The Piccolo just feels right in my hand. I had a terrible shave with it when I started DE shaving. Gave it another go when I had learnt not to apply pressure, and it gave the best shave ever. I liken it to cars. There are 'better' razors, akin to a Mercedes or a BMW. But the Italian sports car.....
I like your style Mr. Maggard!
Your reviews are exceptional, really appreciate the unbiased approach and the informative discussion of the useful metrics you consider I notice you've stopped with the reviews, I sincerely hope you start them up again!
They stopped the reviews? I just subscribed.. I'll unsub right away then
I ditched my R41 for a Grande. I’m glad I did.
The Fatip is smoother but the R41 is more efficient and shaves closer hands down.
Loved the video! A great unbiased opinion on the razor in question.
I bought the Piccolo in May 2019 brand new, and recieved the V1. So they can be found out there. (and yes, It is pretty aggressive)
I love the video. Due to the all brass construction and excellent design qualities, I feel it should have gotten at least a 7. This razor will outlive most of us.
Thank you for your unbiased opinion. I have tried the V1. Not smooth (for me) and with blade alignment issues. I am willing to try the V2 now. I really like the Fatip Gentile BTW
A great and honest review. 💈👍🏼
A reminder that a reduction in cap span does not necessarily translate 1:1 into greater exposure. It does so only if angle and position of the guard edge remain the same. Everyone seems to confuse cap span with blade exposure, they are not the same measure.
You're correct, I probably should not have used the term exposure during that portion of the video. That said, there is significantly more exposure on the V1 Fatip head vs. V2 :)
A great review. Thanks
Great! Bella recensione.
Grazie.
black metal is my favorite type of music
sounds like a razor i should own
You missed the fact that the shave quality is up there with the best money can buy.
I actually saved with mine yesterday. Since it’s handmade it has alignment problems so you have to make sure the blade is even on both sides before you start your first pass. It gets annoying in the beginning but not that hard to get used to
Thanks for the honest review. When you said the head/blade gap rarely line up I lost interest. There’s far too many great razors out there to hassle with shoddy build quality.
Thanks. Maggard is one of the best, most organized store and great service coz' the videos are quality.
God bless, Proverbs 31
so is the v2 head like a parker 24c or 63c or more aggressive?
I'd consider it very similar -- maybe just a touch more aggressive than the 24c/63c head.
How does this stack up next to the Maggard Razor Open comb V2 razor?
PingJocky For me, all Maggard safety razors are quite good, but for entry level. Grande/Picollo are agressive, but they are also much more smooth than R41. I use Grande for shaving 3+ days old beard, and Fatip Testina Gentile for every-day shave.
The Maggard V2OC is the same as the Parker 24C/26C/63C --- and we would rate that head just a smidge milder than the Fatip 2017+ OC head.
I noticed that when I tightened it down too tight that played doesn’t get aligned but when you tighten down the handle just barely tighten it flush and the razor seems to be fine
Can any of these be used as a two piece razor without tge middle bar?? I use my razor like that and I'm looking for a new one that does that too. If soneone has it or knows please let me know. Thank you
What razor do you mean with R40?
@@km-yx8vl sorry, I paste this in wrong vid. I'll correct it. I mean if any of these can be used without the bass bar
On thursday I will shave myself with a V1 Fatip Piccolo razor,then I will try it without the middle bar. I will tell you how it was... Once a while ago I have tried this already,but I don't know which razor it was. I know it worked well but it is very dangerous. You can cut yourself very easily,but it is a very good way to style and trim a beard or a mustache... I think the old barbers used to do this and nowadays it is almost forgotten. So,on thursday I will tell you!
@@km-yx8vl I've never use a razor with the middle bar on, so it's ok for me. Thank you in advance for your answer
@@nikosk.8216 So,today I shaved myself with the V1 Fatip Piccolo and I removed the base plate for a few strikes... In my opinion,it worked well,the blade was sitting nice and thight and didn't move. But it felt very aggressive and scratchy even thought I've used a russian "Ladas" blade,which for me feels very smooth. So basically it works but keep in mind that I have the older V1 version and absolutly no problem with the blade attachment. The nowadays V2 mostly have this problem and they also have a wider top plate,so the blade exposure is less and the shave is not so aggressive. So,good bye to you,I hope I could help you a little...
Take care and greetings from Germany!
I had the V2 and of course wanted a more aggressive version......found a seller in Germany that had some new old type razors.... got it and......: HORRIBLE shaver.....the issue is that there is little blade support , so the blade "chatters" (vibrates) and this creates some skin irritation.....it did NOT cut my face but the shave was NOT good.....so it went to a drawer....... And the flaw is in the top cap...., when I put a new cap on the old razor....the shave was OK. I have 4 other Fatips.....so I will NOT bother w V1
I have this razor. I don’t care about fit and finish to me as I don’t care really but damn it’s very very aggressive. I almost always cut myself (haven’t got the lame problems) so I’m trying to use it in a better way...it’s very hard to master
although 2 years later ...try to make the razor head head-skin angle smaller
Sale killer was Blade swivel problem.👎
Real men don't shave with gillette
*facepalm*
@@Weeble_Warbles I think the facepalm is because Gillette invented the DE razor
Unless it's a vintage Fatboy, slim or other DE razors.
2:30 and that`s all I need to know, it`s a CRAP razor..
Jan Christian Frodahl Nope, it's quite good
Just letting you know I just received my Piccolo yesterday and I have no alignment issues.
Finally someone who sees reason like me. These are ultra sharp blades we are dealing with. You need the devices that wield them to be machined to very low tolerances. Not even beginner razors should have high tolerances “just because it’s a beginner razor”. Pay a little extra if you have to and get a quality razor. I like Muhles and Ikons.
Um no it IS NOT crap. Very good razor. The blade alignment issue is easily fixable. You just tighten it with the top cap facing down in your hand and the blade will automatically align perfectly.
