Wow...great, detailed review of the different Tatara combos. Thanks!
The fact that it’s so great but still second to the Henson Ti22-Medium is noteworthy!
What surprised me most was the Nodachi base and cap combo was my favorite. I thought for sure it would be the Masamune base with Nodachi cap since I tend to like milder razors with neutral blade exposure. Nope, the large gap with the most blade exposure performed really nice....comfortable, smooth, and efficient. Only shaved with each combination once, so my experience is limited, but I could definitely tell the all Nodachi setup left me with the best shave (and best post face feel). My face felt like I hadn't even shaved except there was no whiskers left. Really nice shave.
