Tatara Masamune

Τελευταία γλυκοξοιταζω την Tatara Masamune.
Υπάρχει κάποιος που την έχει / είχε;
Θυμάμαι ότι ο Στέφανος @NYC1920 είχε την open comb και ίσως παλιότερα είχε την cc ο Ανδρέας @vavous
Προσωπικά κοιτάζω για την CC έκδοση. Την απλή και όχι τη Nodachi. Ψάχνω μια μηχανή που θα μου επιτρέπει ξύρισμα ανά 2-3 μέρες και για την ώρα για αυτή τη δουλειά έχω την Merkur 34
Γενικά δε μου αρέσει το (πολύ) blade feel και για αυτό με προβληματίζει η Nodachi έκδοση. Είχα τη Rocca V4 και την έδωσα για αυτό το λόγο. Φαντάζομαι κάτι ανάλογο θα είναι και η Gamechanger .84 έτσι οδηγήθηκα προς tatara, timeless & colonial general
Τα του στρατηγού γνωστά οπότε ζητάω βοήθεια για την tatara μήπως και κατασταλάξω κάπου. Το θέμα είναι ότι με την Tatara μπορεί κάποιος να κάνει πολλους συνδυασμούς πχ bade plate masamune & top cap nodachi και το αντίθετο και το πολύ διάβασμα με μπέρδεψε περισσότερο. Παραθέτω post από το B&B νομίζω σχετικά. Τα φώτα σας!!!
I originally bought the Masamune and it was one the smoothest razor I owned and that smoothness is due to the fact that it’s blade geometry has a negative -0.13mm blade exposure.
This coupled with its 0.63mm blade gap gives the razor its extremely comfortable and smooth shave but because the blade is set behind the shave plane, thus giving minimal blade to skin contact, the razor works best with good sharp blades such as Feathers, Bic, Gillette Nacets and the like.
I also own the Nodachi Head assembly.
This has a 0.90mm blade gap and a 0.13mm positive blade exposure.
While still a very smooth razor, the wider gap and positive blade exposure makes this razor far more aggressive and efficient than its Masamune cousin. I would recommend this setup for the user who shaves once a week or has a tough beard that grows extremely fast and heavy. Due significantly more blade to skin contact, this might not be ideal razor as a daily or someone like me, a twice a day shaver as skin irritation is likely.
The good news is that Tatara’s Razor parts are interchangeable.
My current favorite configuration is the combining the Nodachi Cap with the Masamune Base Plate.
This gives a razor with a 0.63mm blade gap with a true neutral 0.00mm blade exposure.
Extremely smooth, and now with the blade neutral against the skin, it guillotine growth off easily and I have used them twice daily with no irritation at all. True Glass BBS before work and when after I come home before going out for a dinner outing with the wife.
The other possible favorite configuration is combining the Masamune cap and Nodachi Base Plate for a razor with blade geometry of 0.90mm blade gap and a very slight negative -0.03mm blade exposure.
This configuration gives a very smooth and yet extremely comfortable shave and I have use it as a daily shaver with no issues.
A side note.
While the Masamune cap at the moment does not take a standard handle and requires a Tatara Handle to fit, the Nodcahi Cap allows for Standard handles to be used.
That means at the moment there only three options if you want to use custom made or standard razor handles (eg : Bulldog Handle / longer Barber pole Kurled handles) are ;
1) Nodachi Cap + Masamune Solid Bar Plate : 0.63mm gap, True Neutral 0.00mm exposure
2) Nodachi Cap + Masamune Open Comb Plate : 0.73mm gap, 0.05mm Positive Exposure
3) Nodachi Cap + Nodachi Solid Bar Plate : 090mm gap, 0.13mm Positive Exposure.
The only tiny criticism I have is that there blade tabs are slightly exposed.
I hope that we might in the future with V2 get a head assembly that completely covers the blade tabs and we get a Masamune cap that can accept standard handles
Να πω ότι δεν έχω σκοπό να χρησιμοποιήσω δική μου λαβή οπότε το κομμάτι που αφορά τις λαβές το άφησα μήπως ενδιαφέρει κάποιον.
