The problems I have had with two Fatips in the past were not normal for 'a vintage style razor'. I have had many vintage razors and a few modern made razors and none were as badly made as the Fatips. $40 for two unusable razors is not excellent performance for the money. I bought them despite the many bad reviews going around at the time. I ignored those bad reviews and took a punt. I lost. Twice. The quality of manufacturing is hit and miss and always will be as long as people keep buying them.



Here's the bottom line for anyone thinking of buying one. You might get a decent one you might get a bad one. Hit and miss. That's it. If you get a bad one and want to support a Company that doesn't give a **** about you, buy another few and mix and match parts, until you have a competent razor. Fatip will thank you.
