PARKER Safety Razor Men Parker Srx Heavy Duty Professional 100% Stainless Steel Straight Edge Barber Razor And 5 Shark Super Stainless Blades

I used it as the first step of traditional single blade wetshaving. Got a bunch of cuts over the first few weeks. Don't worry if you do, keep at it, eventually you will get the skill to shave on wet skin without soap/lather too.Coming to the shavette, it is truly Stainless steel, though I think it is SS303 or SS304 rather than SS316. There are only two copper alloy pegs on which the blade gets aligned so that it does not move when pushed back by the body surface or hair (when it is being cut). And a plastic bush between the SS scales of the razor. Grip is fantastic and has a reassuring heft to it. ITs a very capable razor, which can elevate your shaving experience when used with the correct blade as per sharpness+smoothness. The blades are not recommended, as everyone's skin is different, I would rather recommend a blade sampler pack. I am happy with Gillette Super Thins, Gillette 7-o-clock SP (black), VI-John Chrome. This thing has only discoloured/dulled slightly as compared to July 2021 when I got it. I don't use it as frequently now as I prefer DE razors, but once in a while I use it to shave other body hair and sometimes on the wet face when I am too busy to enjoy the full shaving experience.Fantastic product, will recommend Parker razors.There is a group on reddit called Wetshavers_India. It's a fantastic resource for all things Shaving in India.My only advice is that you should be very careful when handling this (or ANY SHAVETTE). In the first few weeks, 3 cuts to my hands (both hands) simply because I wasn't careful enough. That's the best part. You LEARN to concentrate on your shaving technique when using a shavette. Else it is a very unforgiving mistress. The discipline helps you when you start using DE razors.

Although expensive, but worth every penny, no other razon under Rs1000 that I've used has been so sharp and smooth

I was told Parker quality is hit or miss. And the piece I recieved is proof of that. Easy to use, but the finishing is not proper. The stainless steel is not properly coated and you can see the black spot on the "tang"(curved handle) in the picture. That is the exposed metal and will quickly rust if stored in wet conditions. So if you buy this, then add a drop of coconut or hair oil in it to prevent rusting.Edit: the supplied blades are okay okay, but not as sharp as the feather blades that I typically use. The weight is good and helps a lot to get a smooth shave. When used with sharp blades and lots of patience with good mirror and lighting, the product is very good.

works just as expected,good quality.

Very good product

Not worth the price. Blades are blunt. Didn't even last two usage, that too for mere shaping. Razor feels good and sturdy though.

First of all, I would like to thank ' Parker ' an Indian brand for giving me 100% satisfaction for the money I spent 😍‌The shaving part is 100% original stainless steel. The other part is made of sturdy ABS plastic. The locking system is very good. The curved part at the end gives a comfortable grip. I am using a barber razor for the first time, So I got some cuts in the first time of shaving 😊 Hopefully, I will be able to shave at a professional level. This gives incredible performance, blade is so sharp. You can use one blade for one shave 😁I am waiting to order a Parker blade set of 100 😎

Value for money
