Fatip Grande / Ralf Aust Straight

I got this razor recently from Charlie in Kentucky. He received a box of shaving stuff from Chris Massey's Dad. Chris passed away the first part of March and his Dad wanted his gear to go to good homes. Charlie contacted me and I received some soaps, a straight, and this Fatip Grande. I have heard of its reputation as an aggressive razor, so I used my skills to tame it. I have shaved with it all week, and I have gotten very close shaves.

The  straight was a Ralf Aust straight. It had a nick in the edge, so I have sent it off for a refurbishing of the edge.
