Tatara Masamune Dark : Portuguese pride.

Trying to get one for another passaround

Anything new regarding a possible pass around ?

I have the OC Masamune and love the design, fit and finish. I'm a head shaver and it's a touch too aggressive - debating on purchasing a close comb baseplate, or selling it any picking up their new Nodachi. I like the idea of swapping handles, but am not clear on how enhanced blade exposition will impact aggressiveness.

I have the closed and open comb, I mostly use the closed comb. For me it's the better option, a nice combination between efficiency and comfort.
I would recommend to acquire the closed plate for your Masamune and shave on!

The Nodachi will be more aggressive. It has positive blade exposure and the Masamune has negative exposure. I think the gap is larger as well.
