Tatara Muramasa adjustable.
The dial numbers are indeed pretty darn small, but it's going to be a good exercise in tuning up eidetic memory, and shaving at the same time.

Not a review, but an interesting Tatara Muramasa foible. All the other adjustable razors I have (Gillettes Slim, Fat and Black, Rex, Pearl) adjust from Low to High by a lefthand, counter-clockwise turn of the adjuster. The Tatara does the opposite, and goes from High to Low by lefthand turn.
Note to self: must remember this for those less-than-fully-awake mornings.

Meandered into a local Marshall's store today (sister store to TJ Maxx) and found these goodies!! Old Spice Original liquid body soap and Old Spice Original deo/body spray. They don't make/sell these over here now and I think these were made for the Asian market. Regardless, they smell great!!
The huge bar of artisan soap is one I whiffed and was mesmerized, Patchouli Musk.

If I understand correctly, my Parker variant does the same. Counterclockwise goes from aggressive to mild.

I have the GR set too and you won't be disappointed. My favourite so far. Well, the alcohol in my splash is a bit reminiscent of sanitiser but the GR scent is there when it dries. I'm yet to try the Eucris but I'm told that if you like GR then a tube (or bottle) of Eucris will fit the bill.

Picked this storage box up from an antique shop, guessing from the label printing its 40s or 50s, in great condition for its age.
Clearly it doesn’t take all my collection but it’s a start!

That is lovely! What a super piece for storing vintage equipment.
Here's something a bit different. There's a chap who owns a very small company called JJ Shaves. He's started to do replating as a hobbyist and takes orders. I corresponded with him by email and he's a lovely chap. He's given my Tech and Fatboy a.new lease of life with a tune-up and new nickel plating. The pictures don't do them justice.
Some of you will also remember my brass Stando Rod SE razor:

He's also plated that in nickel for me and polished it. Looks fantastic and is now one of a kind.
