The head looks like a Fatip OC?

Yes.

Some of the Plisson OC safety razors have 10 teeth, some have 11 and some have 12. All are manufactured under license from Fatip. Often the old Fatip heads from the 1980s are used. So the first ones made by Fatip around 1980 are now installed in Plisson.

Plisson gets the blanks and then the blanks are coated thicker in France. Either with palladium or 24k gold. The handles come from France.

Aaah… I’m glad I was right, when I thought the head looks like a Fatip, because, I could tell by looking at the geometry head and base plate design.

Not to mention an excellent choice of soap. I've been meaning to hunt down a sample of the cologne, but I suspect there's a very good reason why it's so frequently sold out...

Pre Shave: Hot Towel
Razor: Blackland Blackbird Titanium
Blade: Wilkinson Sword
Soap: Noble Otter - Neon Sun
Brush: Troycraft "Rango" with 30mm Boar knot
Post: Noble Otter - Neon Sun

At the risk of sounding like I'm giving an acceptance speech at the academy awards, first of all, I'd like to thank @Wilkshire13 for the Neon Sun. This scent gets mixed reviews but I like it. It's hard scent to describe but it's a fresh and clean scent.

Secondly, thanks to @TroyTools for another stunning brush handle. It's fantastic to hold and looks amazing. Unfortunately the knot I've fitted is going to take some breaking in before it's good to go. It just wouldn't hand over any lather willingly.

Boar knots are famous for it mate. Gotta split those ends and make it splay. Use it, use it, and then use it some more, even if you don't shave with it every time. Maybe even pick your least favorite soap and teach it a cruel lesson with the boar.

Such a nice soap but the scent strength left a lot to be desired for me How are you finding the ErA (or did you use a blackbird?) I'm loving mine!

I know, I think I got a little impatient with this one. It's soaking at the moment.

Used the Blackbird this time but I do love the Era. It's my favourite right now.
