Author: P Vickery Having purchase following the good reviews I found this razor provided a disappointing shave. Notably an unbalance cut. One side of the razor gave a completely different cut to the other. No comparison to a Merker DE. I would not recommend this razor. Tom's CommentSorry to hear about your experience with this razor which turned out to be faulty. This is a rare occurence and we've now exchanged it for a Merkur at your request. This is still one of our most popular and bestelling razors and normally gets very positive reviews from our customers.
Author: A Dingle Just wanted to commend you on a great site.
Service & Delivery were first class considering I paid for Second class & received Recorded delivery! Exellent from my point of view ;o)
For my first ever DE razor I decided to try your Starter kit with a view to buying the Merkur next month for my birthday. However, the Parker 60R is a freakishly extreme close shave & for my first time, no nicks or blood was spilt. So I may just stick with this razor for now as it is highly commendable.
That review you have from someone saying it was faulty unfortunately lost out on a good product.
You guys should be proud of yourselves.
Author: Keith Mackay This was my first 'real' DE on my return to safety razors - I had grown up with them as a teenager but like everyone else was seduced by multi-blades until coming to my senses in middle age.
The Parker has a good medium heft to it and is well made with a nice rich nickel finish. Not in Merkur territory, but it is a lot cheaper. The butterfly design makes blade changing easy. The shave is good and close - not too aggressive - and easy to control. The Israeli blades go well with it. A very good value everyday razor in my opinion.
Great service from The Shaving Shack too.
Author: Ryan Bowen Well I am 28 and didn't even know that DE razors existed until this tuesday! I ordered this razor late tuesday night and was happy to see it arrive this morning. Very quick service indeed!
So how did my first ever shave with a real razor go? It was fantastic, I can honestly say that even after my first go this is the closest and least painful shave that I have ever had!! The first person who saw me commented on how I had a face like a babies bum, which made me smile!
If your contemplating buying a DE razor then this Parker has proven to be a very simple and effective razor for my first time, I am chuffed with it. I was a little sceptical whether this style of shaving would be any better than your mach 3, and it is honestly so much better. The only way is to try for your self and you will never look at a mach 3 the same again!!
Thankyou Shaving Shack!!
