Parker variant

[Vinny67]

I received my Parker variant for Christmas and can't believe how good this razor is, hands down my best razor in my small den.
Have you guys got one and what do you think of it?

Cracking little razor! Very glad I got one.

Find it a very nice razor to use, love it, the only reason I am not using it at the minute is I am working through the iKon 7 piece set at the minute, but the Parker will be back in my travel bag very soon.

I love mine, although the adjustable knob has become a little loose of late. Anyone know how to tighten it please? TIA

I think it's very good, but I like my SE-razors even better.

I'm fancying one of these, with the black handle. Currently using a EJ 89 with the black handle, and although I love it's looks, it could do with a bit more bite.

The parker variant being an adjustable will certainly give you more bite

Well mine arrived today. Won't be having a shave 'til tomorrow night so can't comment on that yet, but I'm impressed with the weight of the thing.
I actually ordered the graphite one (by mistake) instead of the black handled version, but I really like the look of it so won't be swapping.

It is indeed a very good razor.

I believe the choices are graphite and silver, currently. either way the contrasting handle is lovely! Same as I've got!

I have both versions, which shows how much I like it and for the money it's one of the best buys, it doesn't compare though to other admittedly more expensive offerings like the Paradigm 17-4.

Had the first shave with mine tonight, happy with it. Much closer shave than my EJ89 with the variant set to 3.
Even the Mrs noticed how smooth I was.
I wonder what setting 5 is like......

Swapped the Astra blade for a Polsilver in mine this morning and it was one of the worst shaves I've ever had, nicks, irritation so bad I had to stop.
BUT......
All my own fault. Guess who forgot about lining the marks up! In my rush I'd put the cap on 180° wrong, the result being a shave that looked more like a suicide attempt.
