THE MOST EFFICIENT & COMFORTABLE SHAVE

My 3rd razor from Tatara. The first 2 have been fantastic, yet the appeal of the adjustable has been very tempting and I finally purchased on Black Friday, together with the Boar shaving brush. The big drawcard is that its like my previous ones, still handmade and engineered by these guys in Portugal and nothing comes close to this workmanship. In a few words , their razors work of engineering art , unmatched quality and in a class of its own. The first thing I noticed is the Murumasa adjustable system is really great in teh way its designed, tooled and the weight is excellent and finishing perfect. I can say its value for money given what clearly goes into this razor and the extreme quality of it. The other key take here is the actual shave experience. I paired it with A &E “Chasing the Dragon” shave soap and had a brilliant shave. started on high setting and finished my 3rd pass on mid setting. The weighting is excellent and the shave result is 100% BBS with no nicks and incredibly smooth. This is so rare for a first shave with a new tool. Yet this is the Porsche 911 of razors, an engineering master piece and of unmatched quality.I can without hesitation recommend this razor to anyone looking for excellent value for money over time and wishing to find and own the ultimate DE razor!

For almost a year now I have been shaving with the Masamune set + Nodachi cover. I can confidently say that this is an excellent bond in any shave mode. I can shave calmly every day and every 48 hours. This razor provides a smooth, comfortable and soft shave with any blade. Well, a lot has already been said about the appearance, it never ceases to please the owner of this razor. I recommend with all hands to purchase the products of this manufacturer. This is the standard.

The Masamune Premium Boar Brush really is a thing of beauty. Pictures don't do justice to how good the handle looks, and it feels equally beautiful in the hand. Very high quality product. Stainless steel boar brushes are much harder to come by than badgers or synthetics and I spent many hours online trying to find a stainless boar brush to complete my collection. I couldn't be happier that I stumbled across the Masamune. I'm still in the phase of breaking in the brush bristles but it performed wonderfully straight out of the box.

Escribo en español para la comunidad hispana del afeitado clásico que somos muchos. Yo tengo la Masamune completa y la peana. Estuve entre ésta o con la tapa Nodichi para darle un toque más "apurador". Me decanté por esta por lo que suelo decir, prefiero tres pasadas placenteras que una puñetera. Lo primero que llama la atención es el estupendo embalaje y una vez en la mano la calidad que rezuma, tanto en mecanizado como en acabados. Imposible encontrar una defecto. En cuento al afeitado, la catalogaría como suave a la par que efectiva. Una grand compra totalmente recomendable. Saludos. Jorge Dolz

I wanted to wait a while before posting my review on my recently purchased Muramasa razor, and 100+ days later I can do so objectively and honestly. I have struggled for years in finding a razor that works for my sensitive face rather than against it. The Muramasa is just such a razor, no razor burn, no irritation, nothing but close and smooth shaves no matter the blade I am using. Even with a Feather blade I have no concerns and that is really amazing to me. Of course I use a #1 setting most times, because it works for my face. If I don’t shave for a day or two I can bump up the setting to a 2 or 3 and with subsequent passes can notch it down. It’s taken years of frustration and varying degrees of facial discomfort to finally find a razor that i can call my own and the Muramasa is just that, mine. A razor for all faces and before you balk at the price, ask yourself how much longer do you want shaving your face to be something to dread? I thank Tatara for bringing back the enjoyment of shaving.
