Parker SRX 100% Stainless Steel Straight Edge Professional Barber Razor & 5 Parker Premium Half Blades

Good quality compared to all the cheap ones out there

Excelente

Haven’t used it yet, just got it 30 min. ago. Is is very professional looking. It has a little weight to it so it should be a blast to use. Had a problem with shipping sent a message to the seller and it showed up a few days latter. Not his fault, UPS. Thanks for your help. Would buy again and from this seller.

Es buena pero no es una pieza metálica cromada, es una pieza metálica cubierta de un material cromado.

After receiving and using my Parker Razor I had been requested to write a short review about my 'experience'. This is my first straight razor and in my first two days ... of full face whittling of skinnage ... I must say its a great value, feel in hand and ... it looks like a million bucks. As for the 'free 5 included half blades made by Shark' ... I can only ask WHY I DIDNT start earlier ... well because 'the internet much less AZN and storefronts .. hadn't existed 'back then'. I'm sure all the millennials use straight blade razors but if not .. "boys" ... man up for a sweet shave.If you are curious after watching Utube videos on ... beginners .. straight shaves... THIS IS a recommend and buy a hundred SHARK blades while AZN offers it - oh you might find a little blood here and there. You might see the possibility of cutting your major arteries with this ... weaponized shaver but ... follow a good training video and .. use two hands, take it easy ..Actually .. I'm still doing a first morning shave with my Dorco 4-5blade (buck club) razor which always leave stubble behind. So as I progress on getting the hands on.. the combo works well (maybe a first go with cartridge shave then do over with the Parker SRX. I've had two minor cuts .. because the blades are incredibly sharp - clean and the razor ... uncompromising.I have NOW been advised about .. these blades have 'protective coating' and DO NOT WIPE the blade clean ... didn't know that. Also as the blades are so inexpensive .. I've been tossing blades after a single, weenie morning shave. Apparently even while these are disposables, they may well last a few shaves before changing. BUY AS A very very sweet product. Buy the New for 2016 because ... it only gets better with experience.PARKER ... since the great year of 1979! Its not complicated. I wouldn't wish to put Gillettee out of business but they made the $$mistake of over pricing their cartridges. Man up: Buy PARKER for your first and it may be your last Stainless Steel Pro razor .. Made by loving hands in India of all places where .. they probably have just a few million beards using Parker daily. Blades by SHARK ... made in Turkey I believe .. insane imports. I love America and the time we live in. Thank you !

I've been debating on going to these types of straight razors for quite some time since safety razors such as the Gillette don't last that long before the blades are worn out and are utterly expensive. I also was never satisfied with the shave that I got, while it was a close shave, it was never a precise shave being that I also have a beard.I purchased this product after reading a ton of reviews citing the only thing people were too concerned about were rust potential. As a result I purchased this and immediately started just wiping the blade clean on a paper towel or cloth sitting on my bathroom vanity while shaving rather than trying to rinse the hair. This is actually been super favorable considering now I don't have to worry about all that hair going down the drain and potentially causing future problems. The shave itself is incredibly comfortable and probably one of the most comfortable shaves I've had despite having incredibly sensitive skin. I'm able to do very precise shaves that are also very close, and after a few uses I was no longer cutting myself. The recommended Barbershop trick of trying to shave a balloon is great for getting the hang of it quickly.I changed the blade pretty frequently and still have not even scratched the surface of the blade pack I purchased which has 100 blades in it. I never thought that being so Frugal about shaving could end up giving me the best shave I've ever had in my life. Can't recommend this product enough.Note* taking the blade out to trade out the blades with a new one can seem a little daunting but the easiest thing that I have found to do is to use your thumbnail to pry the security latch off and then from behind it use your thumb to just lift up on the top piece to expose the blade without having it anywhere in your trajectory of your finger. Also works exceptionally well if you point the blade away from you rather than towards you. This of course is merely a suggestion and not professional advice by any means but it worked for me

This is one of the more "expensive" options on Amazon yet it seems like one one of the cheapest made straight razors. The biggest problem is that the blade and handle get wedged together and makes it very hard to get open. I had to hammer mine to get it open the first time it was so wedged. After that I tried to see if I could get it open without hammering the thing and I ended up cutting myself, not on the razor blade but on the sharp edges of the body! The whole thing is basically just poorly bent, stamped sheet metal which makes the total fit and finish very bad. Didn't even get to shave with it because right out of the box it was so bad. Returned.
