You won't go back to other form of shaving . For best result wash face with warm water ,apply ore shave oil and use a good slick cream or soap

I am happy with the purchase. I think its good for someone new to straight razors like me. Except for a few nicks here and there, the quality of the material used is pretty good. The instructional leaflet on blade fitting is also pretty straight forward. Though I am still coming to terms with straight razor shaving, I fee the weight, balance and precision are pretty good. I cut myself a few times before I had the sense to go through learning videos to see how it's done right. After that it was smooth sailing without a single cut. I had a month's growth of beard which I was able to dispose off without much effort. So for beginners, ready yourself on the technique before you attempt shaving. As for the durability, I have learned online that cleaning and drying properly after each use will prolong the life of the tool. But only time will tell about the actual quality. The only reason I deducted a star was because I did not like the complimentary blades provided. Keep some good quality blades handy.

This is my very first shavette. I have been using a DE razor for quite some time and wanted to give shavette's a try. It does requires some time to get used to it. So expect some cuts and nicks at the beginning. I found these to be little more harsh than the DE razors. Parker razor quality is good considering the price. You have to be careful at the edges, as I realised its the sharp edge points of the exposed blade that causes most of the nicks and cuts. Overall, I am satisfied with the shavette.

Manufacturing quality of the product is good but after inserting the blade in razor, the blades alignment is not in line. The spare blades provided with the razor have very low cutting edge and its very difficult to get a smooth shave with them.

Love the sleek design and the feel in hand is good.

Just different branding, but all material are same . Definitely both made in same factory. paid 1000 extra for just Parker branding

Excellent straight razor. Precision engineering. The price is on a higher side though. But excellent razor. Purely made of stainless steel but also very handy and compact. It came along with few blades. Overall nice experience. Recommended.
