The thing about shaving with a Tamahagane razor, at least the one Bruno made out of that nakago section made by Japanese master swordsmith Hata Mitsuyo in 1640, is like it's essentially shaving with a soothing, warm stick of butter. Beautiful heft in the hand, very heavy, it's a smaller blade length, like a Kamisori, so you can enjoy a long shave, and while it's sliding along your face, beard disappearing, is you can forget how terrifyingly sharp these razors are and the edge a Tamahagane blade can hold.
I Got Cut Tonight!!!!! It Bit Me!!!!
Been a long, long, long time since I was cut(f&*&kin Dubl Ducks!!!), or even nicked, and I didn't even feel it till there was a long thin line of blood running down my cheek from about an inch under my eye....
Far too long since I used this razor...of course, I'll have to shave with it again tomorrow or the next day, and get away cut free....
