      How do you like the Gentile? The non-slant gentile is my favorite Fatip, but haven’t tried the slant.

        It’s definitely an easier daily shave. Lining up the blade is always a thing with FaTip. On the open comb, I generally line up according to a shine on the radius of the OC. On the closed comb, the blade lines up with the inner edge of the safety bar. This is more repeatable, especially early in the morning.

        FaTip’s slants are odd; on other slants, the blade usually lines up with the edge of the cap and the gap between blade and safety bar really shows the slant. These look wild against the cap.
