Basically a straight razor shaver here, but because of old age face changes or more likely, inherent laziness, I find myself looking towards my double edge more and more often these days. Since I am used to the comfort of the straights, when I do go double edge I use the mild razor, sharp blade approach with the black Tatara Masamune (not the Nodachi). To this point, I have been very pleased with it but wanted a new mild razor (ya' know - just 'cuz).
After doing a lot of research on the forum, I found a couple of posts well buried that mentioned the Hone Razor (stainless) and decided to give it a shot. I have to say I am very impressed with it. It is definitely a very different beast than the Tatara, but for me, it feels smoother and easier on my skin than the Tatara; and yet, it gives a closer shave as well, better even than my straights.
The main reason for my post is that I wanted to give a shout out to the forum and in particular to the someone (sorry I do not remember who) mentioned the Hone. I had never heard of the brand before, and probably never would have without his mention this and the results have been great.
So whoever you are, thanks!!!
