My favorite razor is my Paradigm Diamondback, of which I have 2--the stainless steel 2020 and the titanium so those would be 1a and 1b. In no particular order, the others would be my H&S Z074 Ti-5, my Timeless Ti .68, my Charcoal Goods Everyday and my Tatara. Edit: add Lambda Athena to this to make a top 6.(4 hours ago)Southsider Wrote: Tatara Ti Masamune with Nodachi CapHate to put you in the spot but would you say this razor makes Top 5 or Top 10 in your collection? I’ve been wanting one but never pulled the trigger.
Gillette Silver Blue
Sitting just outside of this top 6 would be my Paradigm Ti II, H&S Ti Efficient, Charcoal Goods Level 2, and Timeless Ti .95, with the latter 2 being a base plate switch using my Timeless and Charcoal Goods razor parts. I also like my Feather AS-D2 and Rockwell 6S.
The Tatara is well engineered and crafted. I spent a good deal of time picking the parts (matching a Nodachi cap to a Masamune base) that give me the type of mild yet efficient shave that I seek. It seems somewhat blade dependent and the GSB was a really good choice.
I like a mild shaver with little to no blade exposure. I also prefer a razor that clamps the blade firmly next to the edge of the blade. My configured Tatara meets these criteria. An example of a razor I don't get along well with is my standard Blackbird, liking it only after buying a Lite plate to tame it and make it work for me.
