    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This was my first use of the Tatara Amakuni. This is a very clever and extremely well executed razor for artist club blades.

You can never go wrong with Bleu Man on Bleu Teusday!

That’s a really sleek looking razor. Nice!

Also DBS++; Always a pleasure

Thanks! I used it again today. Lots of thought (I think) went into the weight and balance of this stainless one. Feels really good in-hand.

I have the Tedalus Essence, which is a good shaver. But I must say that for all the cleverness of a magnetic fixation, I prefer the good old mechanical pinching.

I prefer the good old mechanical pinching.

Why is that?

[–] PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The magnets in the Tedalus are very strong, and its not as easy with it to properly align the blade.

Ok. That makes sense.
