Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Nebulagance" - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm Synthetic
Razor: Tatara Masamune Open Comb
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (1)
Lather: Elysian - Augustus - Soap
Post Shave: Catie's Bubbles - Miracle - Aftershave
Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Lavender, Interrupted - EdT

Taking a break from Micromatic May to try out this Masamune that just came in on a passaround from u/Engineered_Shave.

First impressions are very good. The razor has a good balance to it, the craftmanship is excellent, and it shaves efficiently and comfortably. I was also surprised by how grippy the handle feels when wet. I was expecting it to feel pretty slippery.

I want to try it with a few different blades over the coming days, but I'm impressed after the first shave.
