  • Razor: Tatara Muramasa (316L Stainless Steel)
  • Blade: ASCO Super Stainless (Orange)
  • Soap: Kiss My Face Unscented
  • Aftershave/Post Shave: Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel/Myrsol F./extra
  • Brush: YAQI 24mm Moka Express Synthetic

The Tatara Muramasa has delivered a fantastic BBS shave today to remember. Initially I was not expecting this razor to perform well for me as it has had a bit of a love/hate relationship so I did not even bother using anything special for my soap or exert any effort in creating a lather and yet this razor not only gave me a good shave but a great shave. I started off on level 1 with the grain, level 2 across the grain and then finally level 3 against the grain. I really enjoyed this razor today and if it continues to perform this well I will be keeping it firm in my rotation for the foreseeable future.

I haven't used any of my Mysrol aftershaves in a long time now and have to say I have missed them. They are definitely fantastic but have become much harder to find for some reason whilst being impossible to buy locally in Australia.

Have any of you used this razor before and if so what is your opinion?

Bugger! I forgot to add the Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel bottle in the pic.
