Recycled picture from the first shave with the Tatara Nodachi. I duplicated that shave with the Nodachi today.
Tatara Nodachi
Feather Blade (2)
Simpson T3 Trafalgar
Cella Soap and AS Splash.
Last Tuesday was the first shave with the Nodachi and an inferno of alum that followed. Today's shave was much better.
The Simpson T3 is just a joy to use and produced some excellent Cella this morning.
Three glorious passes with the Nodachi left me smooth. I probably could have got by with two passes but if you got the soap why not. The alum was a just noticeable in a few spots.
A little witch hazel followed by the Cella splash and I am ready for Tuesday.
Thoughts on the Nodachi. Excellent and beautiful machine work and finish. If you ride the bar you are rewarded with an awesome shave. I seem to prefer the Astra SPs in it. The only negative thought I have about the razor is the handle which is a little long for my liking. My favorite combo is probably with the Rockwell 6S handle.
So will I add it to den? I think I would like to make it a permanent part of the den. If Clint
@clint64 would like it back and see if he can tame it then I will get it on the way. If not, we will see what we can work out. Either way I appreciate the opportunity and trust to drive this fine machine.
I hope everyone has an awesome Tuesday.
