Today is the last of the Open Combs for this month; a Fatip Piccolo.
The Good & Bad. The Good is that it shaved like all the Fatips I've used and that I still haven't found any blade alignment issues. I simply put the cap down, drop the blade on the cap, put base plate on the cap/blade assembly the put the handle on the post. Once the handle is close to snug turn the whole assembly over and snug down.
The Bad is the handled machining. This example show obvious start stop points on about half of the guilloche cuts. It could have been a dull blade but most likely simply inattentive operator. This isn't something that can effect performance but it do look fuggly.
Soap was again the old Old Spice and the brush was an even older Strongset boar. The shave was a close. comfortable, effortless two pass with only minor touchup; PDG but not PDG+. Between the two Fatips this month I really prefer the Grande and since the heads are close to if not identical, the difference must be the handles.
The aftershave today was Veggie and I really like it.
Tomorrow a short summary of all the pairings for the month.

To be vintage it must be older than me!

Lovely photo, Clint.
Thank you Celestino. My daughters painted pumpkins this weekend and wanted them included in SOTD photos. So one for today and one for tomorrow.
