War of the Adjustables!

I forgot that I have The TAR (Tom's Adjustable Razor). It is a real heavy weight that gets the job done easily providing a work out at the same time. I also have the Bunny V3, a Rockwell 6C, and a Supply Provision. And at this writing, I have a Merkur Progress on its way to join my den. When it gets here, I will have 10 different adjustables of various types.

 

Thank you for the kind words. i love coming up with new razors. I however have zero interest marketing anything. Not my cup of tea.

If you ever want to try any of my creations. Please feel free to just ask.

 

I just finished another adjustable. This one is based off of a razor I made for @Primotenore it is a devette that holds the blade completely flat. I tried to make it as simple as possible.

Very interesting, Tom. I love the name, TARMAX.

 

Maximum blade support.

Soooooo hard thinking of names.

Let's not forget his slant..(which I used today).

Gap. It is just a simple lifting of the blade above the safety bar.

Blade angle adjustment is an interesting concept.

i have always thought that an adjustable razor wasn't necessary as the blade is what cuts the whiskers.yes,a wider gap allows thicker whiskers or longer growth to be cut,but a proper technique will allow a decent shave in a pass or 2.blade exposure or how much a blade sticks out from between the cap and plate is the bigger factor.that said. i do have a gillette slim i like to use once in a while.,just to keep my foot in..beyond that it's gadgetry..

 

Very true proper technique and you will be successful with most any razor. That being said. For me I like using a different razor every shave. Keeps things interesting for me.

As for my razors I make. They are for my personal interest in a particular idea. This one will not be for the vast majority of users. As it comes completely apart when changing blades. So those who do not like fiddling with things will hate this one. You will most certainly get a runaway spring.

Those however who love tinkering and fully cleaning their tools. This is the one for them.

absolutely.. variety rules.especially self built.i always thought a bold gent could cut the safety bars off a tech..cap and blade left exposed..should remove aeverything at skin level.me ? not so brave..

 

No plans on making more. Vlasta was trying to get the Bunny made but nothing came of it. As for the others. I have no plans on making more. I ended up making 26 I believe of the Bunny V3. All my other razors I only made 1 to 4 of them. If I had multiples I gave the extras to those running the pass arounds. I have also given some to my son.

shoot me a PM with your addy and I will send a few your way to tryout. If you want.

 

I love my Gillette Toggle, Slim and Super Adjustable razors. The Vikings Blade Emperor is good. I’d also add the Rockwell T2 in my list of favorite modern adjustable razors along with the PAA Ascension. All of them give me great shaves.

 

The Toggle is my favorite of all the vintage Gillette razors because it’s mechanism is so unique and was the beginning of the adjustable Gillette razors. The VB Emperor is comfortable even at its highest levels but can be wonky when adjusting. The T2 I find to be a great improvement over the Model T.

 

I just added to my adjustable arsenal. This is my first and only Merkur adjustable, the Progress. It came without packaging, but it looks pristine. I will put it in next weeks line up.

 

I tried many adjustables but nothing appealed to me until I tried the Rocnel Sailor 2020 and 2021

 

Great razor Jim. You will really like it.
