PARKER Safety Razor Men Parker's Semi Slant Safety Razor And 5 Parker Premium Double Edge Razor Blades - Graphite

Once you held this little beauty in hand, you are going to appreciate the craftmanship of the leather case. Such sturdy and feels masculine. The razor itself is a beautiful 4 piece razor with head similar to parker 97r. Its mild to medium aggressive depending on the blade one is using. Size is so small it can fit in pocket and when assembled, its height is similar to parker 94r or 97r. Very beautiful and efficient.

I normally don’t write reviews but I feel this definitely deserves some recognition. I bought this safety razor because of its versatility and customizable shaving options. I saw a bunch of reviews talking about this product’s performance and people often talked about how hefty and heavy it was, but personally I found it to be very evenly balanced from the stainless steel head to the brass handle, i actually expected it to weigh heavier and denser, but I’d say it’s the perfect balanced razor, not too heavy not too light. I got a 5 pack platinum premium Parker blade set along with it, so naturally I used it and I must say, one of the best shaves I’ve ever had, no nicks no cuts. Although it was slightly aggressive even at a mild 2 setting, aggressive yet smooth, I don’t know how to explain it better. So far I’m very satisfied, but if I had to add something to it, I’d say I prefer a more denser stainless steel frame instead of a brass handle as I personally love me a very hefty handled razor for that security of a safe shave, and for the second. I’d say the adjustable setting could’ve been placed up top so it doesn’t interfere with the screwing system, often with wear and usage the screw hinges would get slightly loose and it would challenge it’s durability in the long run. I’m satisfied with this purchase given the price tag, but if there was a new v2 to drop I’d prefer the adjusted setting to be up top . And a stainless steel handle. 8/10 experience!

This would be a longish review - so please bear with me.. I have been a DE shaving aficionado for the last 7-8 years and the bug to collect quality razors has really bit me. Last count , I had around 8 or 9 and include such stalwarts like Edwin Jagger 89, Merkur 34 HD & Merkur slant, butterfly opening style Feather, Rockwell 6S (my most expensive purchase till date) and my newest baby - Parker Variant Parker is made by Pearl Shaving in Gujarat and I did make a couple of purchases directly from them, but these did not turn out to be too great. However, the Variant was getting rave reviews on many international shaving groups and I went ahead & pulled the trigger. I am glad I did so.. I generally rate razors on the parameters of construction quality, blade alignment, balance, grip levels, adaptability to various blades & of course the quality of shave. Couple of points on each of the above parameters as under: 1. Construction quality - top notch, in line with the best in the world. While it is not all stainless steel (like Rockwell 6S) but the chrome on brass/zamak is very well done & feels very premium in hand 2. Blade alignment - no issues at all. I was worried about this parameter since some early reviews had expressed concerns here. But it seems all such issues have been sorted out. The blade aligns evenly on both sides 3. Balance & grip - The knurled handle gives a very nice grip even with wet hands. Balance too is spot on, with the head sufficiently heavy such that you don't have to apply any pressure while shaving. Just hold it at the correct angle and let gravity do it's job 4. Adaptability to various blades - have used it with Astra premium, Shark & Personna blades. Shaves beautifully with all of them 5. Quality of shaving - at par with my Rockwell 6S or possibly even better!! This when 6S is universally acknowledged as possibly the best DE razor in the world and costs 4 times more, landed in India A word of caution though. It is an aggressive razor. Please start with setting 1.5 or 2 and then work your way to your most suitable setting.. I only wonder why Pearl shaving has not listed this razor on their website. Also the handle bottom is stamped with the word "INDIA". Don't know whether the ones selling internationally are also similarly stamped or is it a India specific edition

Best shaver I have ever used. I always had pain, razor bumps and ingrown hair after shaving. I tried this adjustable parker at 4.5 with feather Blade and there was no pain and in only 2 passes I have the best smooth shave of my life.

I didnt feel the so called slicing effect of the slanted blade. I think there is no slicing effect. It gives a close shave though but that is because the head is an aggressive one. Aggressive razor heads gives close shave. Parker blades are nice to use. It gave me 10 shaves easily

Viel zu lange Lieferzeit. Der Versand aus den USA ist nicht offensichtlich; zum Glück gab es keine Probleme beim Zoll. Der Hobel ist von guter Qualität!

design and pouch

Excellent and as expected

今までマイルド系のホルダーばかり使用していたが、初めてスラントヘッドを使用してみたくて購入。 見た目の攻撃性の高さにビビったが、性能の高さに違う意味でビビった。 同じ両刃を使用して、マイルド系ヘッドではゾリゾリと音を立てて剃れるのと比べてスラントヘッドは刃を捻っているので剛性感が高くて音もチリチリと高周波を奏でながら軽く剃れる。 肌が弱いのでマイルドヘッドとマイルド刃ばかり試していたが、いまではこのスラントヘッドとシャープ系の両刃の組み合わせで軽く剃るのが1番肌に優しい事に気が付いた。 ヘンソンシェービングなども試したが、当分コレでいい。いや、コレがいい。

Hey; I've always used Mach series shavers, It is said that with a good shaver like this Parker Adjustable Safety Razor, you can get the closest shave possible next to a barber shave with a straight razor. Not sure about that, but it beats a Mach 3 hands down. Yeah there is a learning curve, but once mastered, Wow! Hint, go slow. The Parker Razor is hefty but balanced, it's easy to use, blades are easy to change and inexpensive compared to cartridges. The adjustable feature is nice in that it allows you to open the shaver wider with longer facial hair so the shaver doesn't clog. Parker makes a great shaver, and I can recommend this one.
