Review: Parker 99 Razor - I started shaving with one of these when I was a kid... not a good experience for a young guy, cut myself a few times.. And it was about that time that my dad bought a Schick injector.. Later I bought an Atra.. I loved that Atra razor and took such good care of it, and used that very same Atra from the early to mid 70's until about two years ago when blades started to be hard to find... bought a knock-off Schick on desertcart produced in India, and it used Schick blades which were also hard to find. I used it for two years, then decided to try a doubled edged again.. After careful research, I landed on this Parker 99. What an amazingly good choice... I absolutely love this thing. The nice part is, blades for this bad boy are dirt cheap, plentiful and have been around since the 1920's and no end in sight... so I boxed up my old stuff and have this.. My advice is, just wash your face well, soap up good with your brush and shave slow and deliberate and there will be no nicks, no razor burn... I took my time because I remembered getting sliced up way back then... A slow approach is best till you get your own technique, actually makes shaving a pleasurable ritual in the morning... It's a substantial piece, heavy and solid... just let the weight of it work as you glide across your face, it's a nice thing, glad I bought it. I'm now considering a few more double edged razors like a Parker 98 and an Edwin Jagger just to switch up... but this Parker 99 is a nice change... really close shave, one pass down and two passes up, shaves very close. Once you shave with this razor a few times and find that youre relaxed and get comfortable, then you see how nice and close of a shave you get... Suddenly you come to the realization that for all those many years, those companies pushing the triple and quadruple blade razors, simply sold you a bill of goods and you fell for it.. They created a market by convincing men that their product did a better job than single blade and that more blades in the head were better, remember the line... "the first blade lifts the whisker and the second blade cuts it, before it has time to snap back"... yea right...! In my humble opinion, this single blade shave is much more superior....Try it.. you will be rewarded... UPDATE: Best choice in razors that I have ever made... I have since purchased a Parker 66R and a Parker 82R.. The Parker 82 is in my travel kit, because I'm not too keen on the feel of the twist knob.. and the Parker 66 I have been using recently because the handle is perfect for in the shower shaving. I've tried to convince my son just to try one, but he sees a double edge razor as archaic and dangerous. Sadly, they've convince him that in order to get the best shave, he needs to change to a new blade every couple of days, and my poor boy, he uses a razor that you almost have to take out a bank loan for the blades.. ha ha ha... young guy's... he'll come around one day... Check out these Parkers, I kid you not, these are really good razors, I actually look forward to shaving in the morning nowadays.. P.S: I have read some reviews of inconsistencies in the blade head, my advice would be (before you ever use it) to place a blade in the head and close the head and see if the blade is evenly placed one both sides. If not, send it back for a new razor. I have purchased three, all have been perfect right out of the box.... I hope that I have helped you in your purchase.. good luck.
Review: Great Old Time Quality - I really like the Parker products I've purchased and use. They have a very solid feel to them and in every way look and feel well built. I've shaved with everything since I began shaving almost forty years ago ... safety razors with DE blades were my first shaving implements, then all the variations of disposables and multi-blade razors out there, about ten years ago I began trying electric razors as well, and recently I've begun shaving with a straight edge razor. BOTTOM LINE: The best and most comfortable shave be far for me is a safety razor with a DE blade like this Parker 99R uses. FWIW I prefer Gillette blades these days. WHY: I love shaving with a straight razor ... it's "shaving zen" for me. It's a ten to twenty minute ritual in the morning like a daily meditation. However, it's not as easy to get a close shave with a straight razor for me as with this safety razor, or nearly as fast if I want or need to get out of the bathroom and on with my day. My beard is particularly coarse, a bit curly and grows in multiple directions on my neck up to and including the chin area. Shaving both across and against the grain, is a necessity for me if I want a really close shave, and it's easy and fast with this razor ... but a real chore with a straight razor. Now don't get me wrong ... I use my straight razor nine out of ten days at home (I haven't taken it on trips away from home yet). I love the ritual, but if I want or need a fast, comfortable and close shave this is my go to tool. Sometimes I even use it to clean up after I've shaved with a straight razor if I don't feel like fussing with the particularly challenging areas of my face too. This razor fits my hand really well. It's balanced so I don't have to apply any pressure at all to the head and I can let the razor glide and do the work of shaving as it should. There's enough weight in the razor to allow me to get close just letting it rest against my skin and there's virtually no drag whatsoever with a good prep before beginning (I use a pre-shave cream by Proraso that I love, and a good shaving cream or soap to create a lather that I apply with a badger brush ... I then also re-lather for additional passes, i.e.: across and/or against the grain). I've owned other safety razors of quality, e.g.: Merkur, and this one is literally as good as any and better than most. I will buy additional Parker razors to try different sizes and styles, and at least one more Parker 99R for the road as well so I can leave my favorite safety razor safely at home. There is just nothing about this razor that prevents me from giving it five stars and from a value for money point of view it should get another three or four if desertcart allowed them. Don't' waste your time with all the indecision and study of everything out there, get this razor, shave with it and I am confident you'll be thrilled with your purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how mch does the razor weigh**
A: I didn't weigh mine. It has the proper heft--not too heavy, not pot-metal light, either, and reminds me of Post-War Gillettes and Shicks. The round handle presents no problem in keeping the blade housing at the proper angle against the face. I never end up with the corner poking me. Once, I didn't check the tightness of the knurled end-knob controlling the "wings." When the blade began to feel like I was shaving with broken glass, I knew it was loose. One turn fixed it. I really like the thing and strongly prefer it to those "aerodynamic" contraptions whose expensive stack-blades seem to me to offer uneven quality. You only need one good blade.

**Q: Where are these razors manufactured?**
A: The Parker razors are manufactured in India.

**Q: How is this packaged, does it come with a storage tray/case?**
A: Hi.  It does NOT come with any storage case that I recall.  IF it did, I threw it away immediately.  But the razor itself is very nice

**Q: does the butterfly open from the collar at the bottom or the collar just below the head?**
A: The butterfly opens from the collar at the bottom.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, heavy, quality razor... but the only part that -needs- to be grippy is the only part that -isn't-
*by L***M on May 6, 2015*

Ok, I tip-toed into the safety razor world gingerly, ever so gingerly, a year or so back with a starter kit -- a cheap handle and a variety of blades for less than fifteen bucks. The razor was kinda flimsy, but got the job done and revolutionized my shaving. I thought it was great. At the time. However, it has started to rust, and that just seems like a bad scene. So, back to Amazon I went, to pick up a replacement. *Yowza* is this a better razor. When they say "SUPER HEAVYWEIGHT" they _mean_ it, caps and all. This thing feels like a _tool_. If you're thinking of jumping in, spend the trivial amount of additional money to get a real razor -- this one. It grips the blades better, it opens and closes more smoothly and authoritatively, etc etc etc. It's like moving to a good Craftsman ratchet wrench -- sure, it may not be a super-spendy SnapOn, but it's worlds better than the one that came from a drug store in a kit with a tiny hammer and a couple horrible screwdrivers. Why four stars? Well, to me, a product has to be perfect to get five, and their are two nuisances that seem like they could be easily rectified: 1) The handle is a nice, grippy texture... except on the end. And it's the end that you have to turn to work the butterfly mechanism. When wet, this is unnecessarily slippery and annoying. Not the end of the world, but if the end were similarly textured, it'd be a much better razor. 2) I'm kinda underwhelmed with the blades, if I am honest. Dulled quickly and weren't that great fresh and new... but, the safety razor world is *very* personal -- some will love these blades and dislike the ones I may like. Do yourself a favor and order a variety pack of samples when you order this razor, and don't write off the whole endeavor until you have tried every blade you've purchased! Overall, I'm quite happy with this razor, wish I had bought it long ago, and would recommend it to a friend. That said, again, safety razor shaving is *very* personal, and your mileage may vary! (But you do owe it to yourself to give it a try, and this razor would be a noticeable step up from the Cheapest Possible Option for very little extra cash!)
