this appeals to my sense of blade rigidity in a visceral way!!
I'm giving the rigidity edge to the Nodachi over the Karve which appears to have a less sharp bend.. close call with the TB/TA... picking nits .but the greater bottom support of the Nodachi over both is there....But do you go for the Masamune, Masamune Nodachi, or something like a Karve or Timeless?
Yeah in all fairness this is the first time its happened. Ive had this razor for a few weeks, perhaps I over tightened it? I cant say for sure. I will say that this particular 5 pack of Astras has felt off somehow so I cant say for sure its quality isnt just compromised and that contributed to it. Gonna test a fresh astra in it tomorrow and see if everything is as it was. I used my ATT s1 for a few days and then came back to this and ever since its been some weird shaves. Which is odd cause the Nodachi was love at first stroke and every shave was perfect until i stopped using it for 4 days if that.I've used Astra SS in the Nodachi without drama. Pretty weird.

Seems to be fairly snug even before I screw it down, just by pushing the blade over the tabs.The photo suggests it has broken along a fulcrum line of the base plate. One incident is not enough to draw a conclusion, you need a number of such breakages to determine if there is a problem.
I don't know if too much wax on this particular blade stopped it moving freely when clamped down by the cap; a possibility to consider. Check if the blade moves freely within the bars in the cap.
It is not something to worry about unless it happens repeatedly.
I have never had this problem so it is intriguing.

I should mention the Colonial Silversmith is in a similar class with the Karve too in terms of rigidity.That thing is an engineering marvel, just from that picture its clear it is going to clamp the edges like a ..umm .. err .. well Clamp
If you don’t know much about their business, why would you throw around the concept (accusation) of cultural appropriation with no basis for doing so? You had the time to Google the term colhonas, perhaps you should have used that time to get to know their business...I must admit, Tatara sounds more... marketable than Colhona.
Still, one could cry cultural appropriation, in my opinion. But then, I don't know much about this business and I might be wrong.

I would be looking at blade QC before even contemplating an issue with the razor. Unless, as you say, it happens with a different blade.Write an email directly to Tatara? I've had black Nodachi for a short period of time now and it seems easy to overtighten. Might be the issue, might be not. Might be the quality of the blade, might be not. I usually do not remove blade between shaves but this razor seems to leave so much moisture so tight between blade and a head I do it with this razor so it can dry between shaves. Otherwise, there will be moisture left in the razor. At least I think that must not be a good thing at long term storage. That way you could check the blade between shaves too.
But I would, in your case, definitely write to Tatara with pictures attached. At least if this happens twice.

This should in no way make you feel bad. It changes nothing about your current state.I feel bad because you own every expensive razor I’m curious about

The part I feel bad about is that he’s a go-to person for me to pester regarding these wares.
march to Portugal
most ludicrously clamped down razor?
