💈 Parker SR1 Shavette Straight Edge Professional Barber Razor for Men - Stainless Steel with 5 Premium Platinum Blades Review

I'm just starting to use a razor but I absolutely can't believe the difference. First off, it's crazy that the big companies that sell disposable razors can sell them at the price they can afford, since a straight razor gives you a much better (albeit dangerous) shave for an insanely low price. However. Anyway, I've seen a few YouTube videos of trendy barbers demonstrating amazing razor shaves, so as a Renaissance man I decided to try and teach myself. I've searched and searched Revain to find…

I have this razor and am very happy with it! It's durable and very functional. I don't think I will ever go back to regular razors. This razor saves money when switching from modern razors to this razor. I spent $24 on a modern razor and spent another $16 on blades every two months. It's $72 every 6 months. With this razor, I spent $20 on the razor itself, $7 on replacement blades, and $16 on the brush, soap, and dish set. It's $43. This lasted 6 months with an additional $4 soap substitute…

Love this product, I use it weekly and have had it for at least 18 months now. I've been shaving for a while, but you get used to this shavette quickly. I sometimes use it in combination with "cut buddy", a tool that helps you create pre-marked lines, corners or curves. But after a while, if you take care of them in a timely manner, you can learn to return to your old corners. Be careful, use sharp razors and make strokes smooth and thin. Also, make sure you're using the right angles. This is…

I know this is true because the seal sticker was torn off and barely stuck on. The razor has an abrasive compound that claims to be stainless steel but looks like a sheet of extruded aluminum, almost like paper. One of the rails is broken and one of the plastic spacers is sticking out next to the shaft to hold the razor, making it quite uncomfortable. Literally the entire razor is covered in machining marks. I literally had to wash this razor and file some areas before using it. Last but not…

So I'm a very picky buyer. I can spend hours, days, weeks, months researching things before I buy anything. I became interested in a straight razor when I noticed a friend of mine had one. He told me he loves his and paid over $100 for it. So I started my research. Initially, if I were to buy one, I wouldn't want to invest more than $100 in a razor that I might not like or even end up using. I've never used it, so I was a little worried that the very sharp, single-edged blade might touch my…

Works well but I bought a DX pen and can't compare it to anything. I cut myself several times with this razor while I had no cuts with a pen. Seems easier to cut. Perhaps the blade or blade exposure is the culprit. It was a good first razor to see if I liked this style of shaving but then switched to a better one. You get what you paid for and if you've never tried a pen or anything of higher quality then you don't know any better. For a beginner I'd say it's fine if you just want to see if…
