Parker Variant Adjustable Safety Razor - Customize Shave Intensity with Dial Turner & 5 Premium Blades (Graphite) Review

As the name suggests, I bought mantic59 on the recommendation of the author of the site "Sharpolog". Wow. I wish I had bitten the bullet and bought the Variant LONG ago. I started my double edge shaving with the Merkur 140/C. not the razor that mantic59 says is the easiest to use. I never liked its very thin grip, so I tried thicker, heavier pens, but most of them wore out the threads. I was looking for And my first shave with him - wow wow. I didn't believe how smooth the results were with…

In the last month and a half I have switched from disposable razors to metal safety razors (not 'straight') using shaving cream or shaving soap lather. I bought about five different models of safety razors. In all honesty, the effects of the increased weight of the metal on the handling of the tool almost automatically makes shaving with a safety razor a deeper experience that not only forces meditative concentration, but also trains the dexterity and factors that make shaving even more…

Original review from 2017 entitled "It was good to go back to old tech", see description below. This is my first safety razor in about four decades. It was good to go back to the old technology. The Parker Variant is a good razor - solid construction and an effective blade exposure control system. I had my doubts when I saw that opening and adjusting the razor relies on the same mechanism, but it works (provided you line up the part correctly with the base - the notched part on the same part…

I've been wet shaving for about 3 years now. In that time I have accumulated a wealth of safety razors, creams, brushes, preshave oils, aftershave sprays/lotions, colognes etc. Wet shaving has quickly become a much-needed part of my morning routine (I shave every day). per day) as it provided 20-30 minutes of mental therapeutic bliss. To be honest the aromatherapy alone combined with the amazing scents of some of these creams/aftershaves/colognes and the like makes the whole shaving process…

So I don't usually write reviews, I just don't have the time. However, this is what I must write. So I got in the van to try out a straight razor, oh it's a "cool" and "manly" way to shave (I know it's safe, I'll get to it). Spent over $200 on razor (Dovo), sling, sling paste and sling conditioner. I even bought a Parker Shavette to try first (nice scar under my nose to prove it!). Everything for a "perfect shave" with less irritation. I shaved, lathered and after 30-40 minutes I was perfectly…

I received my Parker Variant double blade safety razor with adjustable blade about two hours ago and fell in love with it the moment I opened the box. It's everything I expected and more. The weight of the weapon is impressive and feels good in the hand. That inspires trust. It reminds me of the old safety razors I used when I was in the army in the 1960's. I missed those days and those razors. But I don't miss them anymore because this Parker Variant Adjustable is everything those old razors…
