Nothing like an epic shave.

 

Challenging but rewarding

 

Hi everyone. I am alive and well just too busy with work to visit regularly. Today was an epic shave which reminded me to drop and say hi.

Happy Tuesday Everyone. The Tatara Muramasa was shipped from Protugal last Wednesday and arrived yesterday. They included FedEx International shipping which was a very nice touch given the price of the razor. Since I have absolutely zero patience, I had to give the Muramasa a try this morning. In honor of its heritage, I decided to go with a Portuguese lineup. The Tatara/Semogue boar loaded and lathered the ABB shave soap with ease. The scent of citrus and spice over a woody base lasted throughout the shave.

The Muramasa is clearly a Tatara razor. The design is has the same look and feel of their other razors. While the Muramasa is an adjustable razor, it works differently than other adjustable razors. Most adjustable razors only increase or decrease the blade gap. The Muramasa adjusted both the blade gap and blade exposure. This is done with the safety bar of the razor moving in and out when the dial is turned. The base plate decreases in height as the base plate moves inward thus increasing the blade gap and blade exposure at the same time. The entire process is very cool but it did take me a few minutes to figure out how to load and adjust the razor.

Enough about razor, let's talk about the shave. I set the razor to the middle setting of 3 which yields a 0.73mm blade gap with a neutral blade exposure. I went with a traditional 3 pass shave. During the first WTG I did dial the razor up to 5. Even at that setting the razor felt smooth. Returning the razor to 3, I finished up the shave and did some touch ups along my jawline and lower neck. The shave was a drama free BBS shave. I really can't ask for better. I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday.

 

Glad to hear you are doing well. I hope work settles down for you soon. Take care and stay safe.

 

GREAT shave with a BEAUTIFUL razor and lineup Clint !
