My turn already? Excellent! I was away from civilization for several days, but polishaver has my address, so we'll get the TNNSER moving again. Welcome back to civilization. Hope you caught plenty of trout.

Thanks! No trout this trip. Lots of sockeye in a net, and a 40-inch pike on a casting rod.

First shave with the copy-cat TNNSER!
Williams Insurmountable Mug Shaving Soap TOST brush Gem Blue Star blade Witch Hazel Lilac Vegetal
As I do with every razor I receive, I soaked the TNNSER in a mixture of hydrochloric acid, gasoline, benzene, and salmon fat (for a healthy shine) before buffing it with a chunk of asphalt. Then the cap didn't want to slip over the blade, but that's why God made hammers, right?
This was truly a unique shave in my experience, and not just because the razor (or what's left of it) glows and has a pink tint to it (probably too much salmon fat). The shaving angle is intuitive, the handle curve adds interest, and I like the effect of the rolling-pin doohicky.
So far, I am impressed!
(No TNNSERs were harmed for today's shave.)

Love your writing style, I followed every blow of the hammer. If the cap comes loose. Try a few feet of Duct Tape. Tom

Your first shave with the TNNSER sounds much more interesting than mine. I just put a blade in it and shaved. Nevertheless, I got great shaves every time. Enjoy.

TNNSER shaving, part deux
Gem Blue Star blade Tabac stick Elk-antler, silver-tip brush Witch hazel Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve
The curve of the handle seems to rotate the blade into position, and I like the way the roller feels. Great experience so far!

Third and final TNNSER shave for the Trout Whisperer. GEM Blue Star blade pure-badger brush Wild West Shaving Company Peace Pipe soap witch hazel Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve Another amazing shave! The TNNSER is well designed and machined, and I can't praise it enough. I greatly enjoy inserting a blade and replacing the cap in a similar motion to racking the slide on a pistol (with less force, of course), an action which always puts me in a happy place. This morning the TNNSER shipped to zeri so it can begin its grand European tour! Heartfelt thanks to twhite and jayaruh!

It would seem USPS shipped it on the slow boat, although they report it arrived in Lisbon on August 20th.
