Parker 65R Razor

[NNathwani]

Just got an email from executive shaving and have to say this razor
http://www.executive-shaving.co.uk/parker-65r-double-edge-safety-razor.php looks lovely. I might just get it for the handle.

Any of you guys used a Parker before? Any good?

My brothers go to was a Parker 96r. He used the for quite a while and didn't complain.

That razor though, IMO it looks terrible. Sorry!

 

[NNathwani]

Really? I thought it was quite unusual and unique compared with the other handles on DEs.

 

[Dipesh]

Just my opinion of course.

It reminds me of some of my grandma's gold jewellery. Lol

Ha! It does have that kinda look to it. Would go well with my mums Sari.
Not seen anything like it before though.

 

[Dipesh]

Hahaha, that's true!

Bit bling for my taste.

Look good with your medallion though.

I'm not liking that.

 

[NNathwani]

Well......looks like I know what to get you guys for secret Santa.
Think Dipesh has put me off it with his Gran comment anyway.

I like Parkers for the shave 96r and would recommend on that basis. What it looks like is personal taste, I would buy that one design if you like it go for it !!!!!

The best ones look like copies of vintage razors. Parkerman, your avatar looks like a Gillette Super Adjustable but presumably it is the Parker Interceptor or some-such like?

I bought a 92R a little while back , to be honest it shaved O.K. , perhap's a little too aggressive for my liking and yes some model's are "quaint" looking .
BUT , give them their due the finish was first class on my razor , even putting some Merkur's I have bought to shame .

Whereas my 91r looked the business but was too aggressive (huge blade gap) and the head thread broke off in the handle.

I use a parker 97r. I'm quite happy with it. I was told they were an aggressive shaver but i use mine every day without problems.

I keep being tempted by Parker razors but forum members quote that they are poorly made so I am put off. Shame because many of them look nice and they are sold at the right price.
