Same here. Started getting sick Sunday and last night was the worst so far. Get well soon!

Thanks! You too!

Now just crossing fingers to not spread my germs to the rest of the family

Yes, I hope not! My father visited for Thanksgiving and had to leave early, it turns out he has pneumonia. My wife, my sister's husband, and one of their kids, got a quick stomach bug which has since passed. I just have nasal congestion, thankfully! 'Tis the season!

  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor 1: Fatip Classic Testina Gentile
  • Razor 2: Merkur 34C HD
  • Blade(s): Personna Lab Blue (1)
  • Lather: Martin de Candre - Fougère - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Weinstrasse - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

I think the Fatip Gentile (Italian for "gentle" or "kind") would be a good starter razor so decided to do a side-by-side with another great starter razor, the 34C.

I'll do another comparison tomorrow, switching sides to be all scientific with it.

All I can say is this shave was great, and I love both of these razors.

The blade basically aligned itself in the Fatip today, so I didn't have to fiddle around with it. It was really easy to detect that it was properly aligned since this razor has safety bars that act as a visual guide.

Blade alignment on the 34C, of course, wasn't even a consideration. Like most razors, it just works. I still prefer the build quality of the Fatip. I've had a 34C in the past that had poor knurling and a cracked handle, not to mention the head is made of zinc alloy which isn't as bomb-proof as brass.

The 34C is such a well-performing razor. I can basically shave with it on autopilot.

I'm surprised Merkur doesn't offer a version in stainless steel. I'm sure they'd sell well.

I did find some mention of a Razorock 34C clone here. I'll be interested to see whether this comes to fruition.

The Fatip Gentile sounds like another lovely, mild razor. I'll have to give it a try some day.

Oh that's neat. I'll have to keep an ear out for how people like it once it's available.
