  4. My last two shave were with the TARMAX SE by Tom White. The first one was a little rough but I blunted the corners of the blade before the second shave and it made a huge difference. I also did better on the second shade e with keeping the top cap flat to the skin.

    Soap :Razorock Emperor, unique linear sharp scent with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi " Casino club" 26mm timber wolf knot, excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. I like the face feel this brush offers!

  13. Today was the first shave with the TARMAX Injector. After shaving with the DE and SE versions the Injector was pretty intuitive. The shave was smooth and easy. I will most likely try it with a Schick Proline B20 next shave. The Proline B20 is one of my favorite blades.
