Another new acquisition, the Tatara Masamune Cap Nodachi Open Comb plate. I’ve not used the more aggressive plates or an open comb razor before so this was a first. The plate makes it instantly more strong and efficient, there is a lot more blade feel than the Masamune solid bar. The quality shines through and the Nodachi plate on the Masamune handle and cap, fit perfectly. While it’s a tad too aggressive for me to use everyday, it will fit nicely into the den and rotation and be a welcome addition!
