This is my second shave with Tom's Adjustable Razor (TAR) by Tom White. It was a great success. I did the shave on setting 2. Tomorrow, I will move up to 3.

The CTAPT Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #340 badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the TAR (2) by Tom with a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

TAR - Tom's Adjustable Razor

Tom White from Burbank has it done again. He has designed and created his first DE adjustable razor. It has been dubbed TAR for Tom's Adjustable Razor.  Here are some pictures that I have harvested from the web. The razor is inspired by the Mekur Progress. I am privileged to be one of the testers of this razor. I will be posting more pictures and videos.



It weighs in at a hefty 164g. That is 6.8 oz. 50% heavier than the Provision Supply V1.











Edit: TAR has arrived.

Enders Blade Carrier

I had piffed my original Enders carrier blade, so I am making a new one. Here is how it went.

I started with a genuine Enders blade and an injector blade. I used my Dremel to clean them up. The Enders had water stains on it. Here they are after cleaning.


Next, I lined up the two blades' edges.


I clamped them in a clamp to hold the edges even.


This is where I would fill the holes with epoxy.


I squirted out equal amounts of J.B. Weld epoxy onto a piece of paper.


Using a paper clip, I mixed the epoxy. This epoxy takes about 6 hours to set and 24 hours to cure.


Then I filled the holes in the injector blade. This is where I set it and forget it; at least for about 4 hours.


After about 4 hours, I returned an removed the injector blade. The epoxy is not fully set. Now, I will wait until the next day to finish it off.


Here it is after I have removed the excess epoxy down to level with the top of the injector.


This is the Enders blade before I removed the bevel.


This is after I removed the bevel.


Here the injector blade is on the Enders carrier blade. It is ready to go.


Here you can see that the bevel is gone leaving the injector extending beyond the edge.


Here the carrier and injector blade are in the Enders Speed Shaver.

My TNNSERs

I must admit, I have my fair share of TNNSER razors, including the original.

Made by Tom White, the original is made from aluminum with a roller safety bar.


Since then, the razor was redesigned as a 3D printed razor. I have four of them. The first one (bottom of picture) is ABS that I had printed locally. Then I had the next black one printed locally from ASA; the same for the green one. They were done locally for a group buy. The top one is transparent resin. It was printed in the UK.
