Parker 82R Chrome Heavy Weight Twist to Open DE Safety Razor

For me - the perfect size and weight. I'm partial to TTO's - I know - 3 piece razors are better construction. But TTO works for me. I've owned a Weishe TTO - too light - and a Merkur 3 piece. The Merkur craftsmanship is superb but alas the razor was a tad to short for my liking. Once again - the size and weight of the Parker is perfect for me.

First DE I ever used, although I used straights before. Very nice looking razor, the chrome is wonderful. Mine came with a small hole in the handle, doesn't affect the usage, just an aesthetic thing. Quality control issue? Maggards wouldn't have known, not their fault. Very heavy, makes using the weight of the razor a breeze. Very mild though, although maybe that's because I started on straights. The only reason I don't still use it is because it's too mild. I'd recommend it to anybody as a first razor, or somebody that just likes a mild razor.

Fantastic razor, very mild great for beginners.
