I liked the Nodachi when I used it on the passaround, but have wondered what I would get if I wanted slightly less blade feel - a Masamune cap to use with the Nodachi baseplate or a Masamuni baseplate to use with the Nodachi cap. Does anyone have experience with both combinations?

Slightly would be Masamune baseplate, more would be Masamune topcap

Nodachi + Masamune cap = -0.03
Masamune + Nodachi cap = neutral

Nodachi and Masamune cap has less blade feel (but the larger gap). I find this combination the most comfortable of the two.
However, I prefer full Masamune or Masamune OC when I skip a day.

Thank you. That table has appeared in this thread a couple times but nonetheless usefull. Unfortunately on my phone on the road

Anybody know if there are any new razors from Tatara in the works? I saw mention by Fedsbackhand in another thread that there may be an adjustable in the works. Thanks

I can reach out to the guys - will get back

Hey Ali, like I said in my PM the adjustable is definitely happening. They have even named it.

For this year we have planned :
Open comb Nodachi;
Finest quality Semogue/Tatara badger brush-Dark and Mate;
Finest quality Semogue/Tatara boar brush- Dark and Mate;
Muramasa - Adjustable razor =D

Thanks!
