Hatsukokoro Kurogane Blue 2 Kurouchi Gyuto 210mm Black ChacateThe Hatsukokoro Kurogane(, Black Iron) can be considered as the Blue 2 version of the popular Kokugei line. Main difference is the core steel is Blue 2 instead of Blue 1, and the slightly blue tint is not present on the Kotetsu, it is just as the name implies, a Kurouchi finished, iron cladding knife.

The Hatsukokoro Kurogane(黒鉄, Black Iron) can be considered as the Blue 2 version of the popular Kokugei line. Main difference is the core steel is Blue 2 instead of Blue 1, and the slightly blue tint is not present on the Kotetsu, it is just as the name implies, a Kurouchi finished, iron cladding knife.For the experienced eyes, it won't be hard to tell that this knife is made in the Tosa region. The wild hammer marks can be clearly seen under the rustic black oxidation layer. Although the finish is on the rough side, its performance is still quite decent. The bevel is a slight convex grind, but left with some thickness behind the edge, it won't fly through food like many other knives but once the cut initiates, the very positive food release will help the cut to be smooth. The additional thickness also means the edge is on the stronger side, it can be pushed a bit harder, which kind of fits it purpose as a budget, rough use knife. For the seasoned expert, the iron cladding means the bevel geometry can be modified with relative ease, and the thicker blade can be turned into a thinner one. I shall consider the Kurogane as a interesting brother to the Kokugei line, with their very friendly price and decent maintainability due to the Kurouchi finish, they are both a strong contender for those who are picking their first carbon steel knife. It's a knife that you can really live and explore with, which can be a valuable thing before steeping up to a more demanding and expensive knife.

spray top lids fail after a few uses
Style: SPF 50, Size: 10 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is awesome. It stays on for a long time, even when swimming. It has almost no odor, which is great if you don't want to walk around with that summer sun screen smell. The reason I am giving this only one star is because of the canister. The spray top lid is very hard to press, and only works a few times before completely jamming, rendering the product useless. This is a huge problem if you are taking it on a river float, or camping where you can't just run out to the store and get another one if it stops working. I love this sunscreen and I really wish I could make it my summer go to, but have had so many of the lids malfunction that I will never buy this product again. It is expensive for sunscreen. They should figure out their packaging.

a fave
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Disappears into skin quickly, feels like nothing, looks like nothing (no white residue, streaks or discoloration). The fragrance free truly is. I reapply after a couple of hours or prolonged time in salt water even though I don't _feel_ like I need to (I'm not naturally pale) and have not had any burns since I started using Alba products, whereas before, I got occasional burns even from the better, former favorite, brands. I love this brand and the products are prominent on my subscribe and save lists. Once in a blue moon, the spray lid sticks and the can goes in the trash. BUT this happens once in a blue moon with just about every brand I've tried.

Great, when the can works
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the only sunscreen I buy anymore. Clear, easy to use and no significant smell. Plus air powered spray and biodegradable. No of which matters, though, when the can won't spray at all or just gives a weak spray that leaves sunscreen in wet spots or no coverage on your arms. Too expensive to not work.

excellent for oily or acne prone skin
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
my skin type is highly reactive to sunscreen and I often have to juggle the desire for sun protection with awful break outs the next day. this is so far the only spray sunblock that's not stupid expensive that hasn't caused acne. only complaint is that it seems there's not much of the actual product in the can, but that could be due to the fact that I use a lot of it. 10/10

Lightweight, easy to apply, and perfect to use over makeup!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This has become my go-to sunscreen, especially for days when I’m in and out of the sun and need quick, reliable coverage. The spray goes on light and even, no thick, sticky feeling or weird white cast. I have sensitive skin and usually react to sunscreens with fragrance or heavy ingredients, but this one has not caused any irritation. I also appreciate that it's fragrance-free and water-resistant, so I can wear it at the beach or on a hike without worrying about reapplying constantly. It feels more like skincare than sunscreen, and I feel confident applying it over my makeup, not worrying that it will make it look cakey or run.
