Tatara Amakuni | Schick Proline & Kai Mild | Romera finest | Pantarei Via Delle Magnolie | Zingari unscented Recovery Splash



First use of the Amakuni this morning. Naturally, it’s too early to draw any firm conclusions about the shave itself. However, I can confidently say that I love the design. While in use, the razor feels like an extension of your hand, with an intuitive shaving angle that makes the experience smooth and natural.

I experimented with two blades today—Proline and Kai Mild—and swapping blades mid-shave was effortless. Thanks to the magnet holding system, it was significantly easier and faster than with the Shield AC1 or Vector razors.

As for the shave itself. Unfortunately, I used too little soap, resulting in a disappointingly thin lather that offered minimal protection. Too lazy to return to the soap, I decided to push through to the end. Despite this, the Amakuni didn’t feel rough at any point. I’m also pleased to say it’s more efficient than I had anticipated from Tatara, especially compared to their adjustable razor. The Kai blade felt slightly more assertive, and the result on that side of my face was noticeably smoother.

I’ll definitely revisit both blades with a proper lather to explore their full potential, possibly with a bit more pressure.

Overall, it was a promising debut—even if I botched the lather.

Fantastic Brush Alex !!


From that perspective I like Tatara better but I imagine it will not be close to La Faulx :okay:

I was going for a no-nonsense shave today, and that worked out fine ;-) The GC is a very friendly razor with heavier handles, but with this lighter vintage thin bar it feels like a Tech (weight wise). Very easy shaver.
The Omega has opened up nicely already and is very soft. Still loses a few hairs with each shave, but I think that will stop shortly. If not, at least I have a handle left ;-)

Gillette - Perma-sharp stainless (1)

Stirling - Naked & Smooth
Speick - Active AS
