    I definitely recommend the Dovo shavette! Sometimes, I want a straight shave without stropping, especially since I am a sub teacher.

    Happy Friday everyone. When the new razor arrived, I had the intention of waiting until the weekend to give it a try. Given my lack of patience, there was no way that was going to happen. So up today is the Tatara Nodachi razor. The major differences between this and the Tatara Masamune are the increased blade gap, narrower top plate, and heavier handle. The little Shavemac D01 3 band whipped up a nice slick lather with ease. Every time, I think this it needs to go, I realize how much I enjoy using the brush. From the first stroke you could tell this is not the Masamune. The positive blade exposure and gap let you know the blade is there but the shave is still extremely smooth. Much smoother than the OC Masamune and even smoother than the Wolfman I used the day before. Three passes and touch ups caught the baby with ease. I think the two Tatara razors will be kicking my Karve kit to the curb. Time will tell. A splash of the Asylum Colonia aftershave left my face feeling well nourished. I hope everyone has a Fantastic Friday.

    Great shave and photo Gary. I bet the Karve handle did change the dynamics of the razor.

    Just gorgeous Jim. And there is that brush. What knot did you get and what do you think of the brush?

    A couple nice super slick passes for a great shave to finish out the work week. I have a puck of MWF in reserve but cannot open it until I finish my current rotation. The ES is nice substitute.
