Parthenon Razor - adjustable for superb shaving comfort

Pro: A good starter razor for beginners. It is forgiving.Con: Takes longer to shave compared with more aggressive razors like the Qshave Merkur clone. The handle is slippery and the locking nut cannot be turned without using a towel for grip. The marker for the number setting is faint- hard to see.I think experienced DE shavers will pass on this one.

great razor. good weight, nice adjustable feature that really works and easy to adjust. I have a number of double edge razors and so far this is the best one i own. I also have q shave's adjustable that pops open at the top but it's hard to get the top off with wet hands and adjust without slicing your finger open (already did that once). This one you don't have to worry since it's butterfly open. It doesn't clog if you shave like a normal person, meaning shave a few strokes and then run under water like most people do. I'm sure if you tried to shave 3 days worth of growth all at once in thick cream it would clog. the guys on youtube shave weird. never seen people try to shave their whole face in the same pass and complain the razor clogs. must be their first time shaving. Plus they shave really fast. easy way to get irritation and cuts. again, don't know anybody that shaves fast with a double edge razor. If you want to shave fast then get a gillette gazillion blade razor. Bottom line is it's solidly built, feels good in the hand, adjustable works, shaves cleanly and close and looks good as well.

I've been using this as my daily razor for a few months now and I like it. It's been tricky to find a decent adjustable DE safety razor w/ a chrome finish. I had a Merkur Futur and found its spring clip head fastener to be unreliable. The only issue I found with the Qshave Parthenon was I had to lube the adjuster because it got stuck. The handle is a bit longer than I'm used to, but doesn't cause any problems. Overall, a nice razor.

I’ve been using DE razors for many years and I have a large selection that I acquired over the years, all being name brands. After purchasing a few knock-offs and no names brands that were terrible. I haven’t purchased an off brand or low quality brand in years. Now, I come across the QSHAVE Parthenon Razor V2.0. Never heard of it or seen it before. Why I went against everything I practice, I’m not sure why I did? But I ordered it. After my first shave I was totally blown away! The shave was outstanding. The adjustment was smooth and gave me a great step down shave. Never thought I’d recommend a low budget razor, but I do recommend this one. For a adjustable at half the price of all I own, you can’t go wrong. Try it out!

I was happy when I first got this razor, but don't like it anymore. The biggest issue is that it changes settings during use leading to much more aggressive blade positioning, and therefore leads to cuts. No matter how hard I tighten the bottom bit, it slips. It feels like the mechanisms inside are poorly finished, but the razor can't be taken apart to correct. Adjustability is more of a liability for this razor. Would not buy again.
