  • Piccolo = small handle; Grande = big handle. "Testina Gentile" is the closed-comb head and it's available with either handle. They don't have a specific designation for the open comb model afaik.

    Neither handle is Large. I would describe the Piccolo as Teeny (like a ball-end Tech) and the Grande as Medium (similar to a typical Merkur / Edwin Jagger / Muhle handle).

  • Those are both pretty decent razors with their own quirks. Both can be quite comfortable and give good close shaves once you master them. Both are durable as heck.

    I would probably get one of the Grande Gentile instead of Piccolo Gentile razors if you go the Fatip route though; I prefer the larger handle, personally.
