    Had a great 3 pass shave.
    RAZOR: TNNSER Adjustable
    BLADE: Gem CS (4)
    BRUSH: JR427
    SOAP: APS Sandalwood cream
    AS: Clubman Whiskey Woods.

    This adjustable is a direct melding of the TNNSER and Igor adjustable. Best of both worlds.

    Use my 58 Fatboy tonight with a little Barbasol, followed up with Stirling Coniferous Witch Hazel & Aloe.

    I also trimmed my van dyke and buzzed down my hair.

    So when I first tried out Tom's TNNSER 3D SE, I was really blown away and had a new #1 razor! Then I got Roger's 3D printed SE Adjustable and it too was mind blowing and therefore sat tied at #1 with Tom's TNNSER 3D SE. And THEN I got a GEM Clog Pruf "Peerless" SE razor and it TOO was mind blowing and there it was... a three-way tie for the #1 position, neither one better than the other but all three giving the best shaves I'd ever experienced!

    This morning, I took the most beautiful razor I NOW own, which arrived to me yesterday, in hand... Tom's IN TARMAX RG adjustable injector razor with roller guard! I loaded a fresh Personna 74 "in disguise" blade. Put all the pieces back together and set the adjustment to #5. Lathered up and went to work!

    I am literally flabbergasted. On everything that is holy and divine, the IN TARMAX RG adjustable injector razor is without a doubt my new #1 razor!!!! Knocking his TNNSER 3D, Roger's SE Adjustable and the GEM Clog Pruf, all three still tied but down to #2, and my 1936 Gillette Aristocrat in new rhodium plating down to #3!!!!

    The IN TARMAX RG adjustable injector shave was ridiculously, incredibly awesome to shave with! Feeling the roller guard roll across my skin, the blade perfectly set and swiping away 2 days of stubble... One WTG pass, one ATG pass and one XTG pass and not a single hair was missed, even in my usual trouble spots of my sideburn strips up close to my ears and my jawlines. Pure literal wet dolphin smooth!! This razor is the definition of art craft. A home run by Tom and I'm beyond honored and proud to own the only one in existence (that I know of)!

    The tools:
    • 2021 IN TARMAX RG adjustable injector razor
    • Fresh 1970s Personna 74 "in disguise" injector blade
    • Italian Palmolive shaving cream
    • 1950s Fuller brush restored in 2011 with a 22mm Super-grade 3-band badger hair knot
    • 7" suribachi bowl
    • Finish: Tet-A-Tet After Shave Balm

    That is not what I wanted to hear. Now I need to make one for myself. HAHAHAHAHA!

    I will actually just modify my spare TARMAX IN. I try to make 2 or 3 hoping to get one good razor.
    Glad it went mildly well for you.

    may it give you years of shaves.
