Review on Parker 26C Handle Double Premium by Chris Ryokan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right combination.

15 wet shaves I chose this open comb because it was inexpensive. Oh so glad I did. Of course I've used this with a softer Derby or Sunrise blade, but it's great. I could feel more aggressive but no less comfortable than with my other mid-range soft razors. I've managed to shave DE 15 times with no scratches, cuts or shaving discomfort. I usually use Proraso Pre Shave, Bigelow CO Cream and only do 2 passes. I use a block of aftershave alum, then some DOLLAR TREE aftershave balm, with Skin Bracer applied over it. I do the same routine every time but change up products like Arko, Proraso and other soaps and Proraso aftershave balm. I also have a few after shave supermarkets that I like. Be sure to try this shaver. It's a good weight, well built, the handle is the perfect size (length, diameter and knurling) and makes for a great shave. As a relative newbie to wet shaving I love the 26C and think it's one of the best razors on the DE market right now.

Pros
  • INCLUDES 5 DOUBLE EDGE SAFETY BLADES. This razor comes with 5 Parker Premium Platinum double-edged blades. These Double Edge razor blades are economical, more environmentally friendly than cartridge blades and offer a shave with less irritation and less ingrown hair than expensive cartridges.
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others
