Active Tatara pass around - part 2 - their new Amakuni SE razor

I ended up having one more shave with the Amakuni and a fresh Proline blade yesterday.
As well as a few comparison strokes with the Yaqi Romulus OC and RazoRock Hawk v3 OC.

A very nice shave yet again. The Amakuni felt the mildest of the three, but so easy to find the angle with that it was just as efficient as the other two for me.
The Hawk felt the most aggressive of them, and the Romulus was in the middle.

Handling-wise, they all felt nimble, although the Hawk slightly less so.
On the other hand, it felt like the Hawk offered the widest range of available angles, followed by the Amakuni and trailing by the Romulus (even though it felt more blade forward than the Amakuni).
The difference, though, was that the Hawk would go from potato peeler grade to almost mild feeling, the Romulus felt slightly forward all the time and the Amakuni felt like there was barely any blade at pretty much any angle.

I also felt that swapping blades was, of the three, the least faff with the Amakuni.

While not an OC, the lather channel on the Amakuni is also reasonably large to accommodate mowing down a week or two of growth (I'm sure because I took off a bit of the hair line at the back of my neck and it rinsed out nicely).

It's a shame I don't have the Colonial Razors General, because from (now fairly distant) memory, it exhibited similar traits.

Thank you for the opportunity to try the razor and letting me participate. :)
 
This morning's shave concludes my time with the Amakuni and wish to thank @Masamune and TSR community for the opportunity to giving it a try. It's now on my wish list :)
Amakuni is now on its way to the next participant.
Thank you again.
