Review on πŸ’ˆ Parker 66R: Ultimate Super Heavyweight Double Edge Safety Razor | Includes 5 Premium Blades by Michelle Armstrong

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Razor to life.

I've been using a "Bic" disposable razor for years and didn't care why anyway. I saw an ad once where Rick from Pawn Stars was promoting a razor like this. I bought it and my wife bought me a vintage brush and soap dish to complete the set. I liked the idea of saving money on razors, as well as the nostalgic premise of shaving as it has been practiced for years. Well, I wouldn't go back to "Beaks" or anything like that, but I dare say the straight razor that Rick was promoting practically fell apart and the top of the "butterfly" stopped opening properly when changing blades or has closed . This happened about 4 months after purchase. This made me wonder if I made the mistake of switching to a safety razor. Then I stumbled across this gem and decided to give it a try. Wow! Shaving either makes a beak or dwarfs the last safety razor I used. It's heavy and it's an advertisement for the slide. The metal is strong and durable and I have a feeling that I will be using this razor for many, many years to come. If you are looking for something to replace what you have I will have no hesitation in saying this razor is superbly made, well priced and is something you should be very happy with.

Pros
  • quick change
Cons
  • boring packaging
