Review on Parker 99R Heavyweight Butterfly Platinum by Nicole Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

love it, close and smooth! Best shave!

I bought two of these. One for me at the 76p version and this one at 99p for my son's first DE razor. Both shave the same way, are the same length and weight. Only the handle looks different. Personally, I have several Razors DE, LORD, Feather and a few no-namers in my rotation. I really like my LORD razor for the money but I wanted something newer, heavier and different. I've read really good reviews about the Parker 99r and 76r everywhere and I loved the old school look of the 99r barbershop. These razors shave great, this is my new favorite razor and I refuse to use any other razor and just reach for my Parker instead. I like the weight and the ease of shaving with it. It's so simple that when I first used it I was shocked, I had to get used to just letting the razor do its job. It's forgivable, it doesn't knock. And it's by far the smoothest shave I've ever had. After the morning shave I still feel smooth as a baby even though it's early evening. This is something no other razor has given me! By the way, I contacted Parker before purchasing and they said that all of their butterfly razors have the same aggressiveness and blade angle, so that would be good to know in case I'm looking to add a few more of their styles to my collection. Their butterfly razors vary in weight, length, and style.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • So far so good
