  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!

      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.
