For the money, it would have to be the Osprey. The Muramasa is very nice, artistic, innovative, ete., etc.. It is short-handled, which may or may not be a big deal for any given individual. It's adjustment range is brutally narrow, to the degree where I would recommend a replated Slim or Fatboy first. It is not by any means "bad", but you can (IMO, YMMV) get the same shave from a classic Gillette at significantly less cost (~10X less).Hey there! If a complete stranger asked you to make a recommendation between the Tatara Muramasa and the Blackland Osprey, and this stranger gave you zero indication of their preferences in shaving experience, how would you answer? Thanks
The Osprey has a longer handle (which I like) and broader range in blade feel/exposure, which I greatly prefer. The greater adjustment range means it will be suitable to more shavers, all other factors being equal, e.g., if handle length & weight don't make a significant difference in your handling preference, and if you like the option of going pretty mild to pretty aggressive. Muramasa goes from lather-mover mild to modest blade feel.
