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

My first shave with the Lavanille trifecta was great. I get much more vanilla in the splash and frag than I do in the soap. The combination is just lovely.
