The media could not be loaded. Merkur vs. Parker: In short, the Murkur USED to be the best. It was weighted beautifully and lasted a LONG time. Now, though, their safety razors have declined in quality. They are now made from cheaper metals and the feel is very much like a Chinese knock-off of the real thing (even though they ARE the real thing); it’s like buying a Coke and it tasting like “Cola Drink” at your local supermarket. The Parker, conversely, is what the Murkur WAS: beautifully weighted, excellent to use, very well made with some fine craftsmanship behind it. The only drawback is that the Parker is a three piece system (vs. the two piece Murkur) that takes about an extra 6 seconds to change the blade. Otherwise, it is, by far, the superior product. Finally, the Parker is one HALF the price. Yep. Half. Get the Parker (obviously). Read more

I wanted a well made razor for everyday use and this Parker fills that role. Size, weight, quality are all perfect. It has a level of forgiveness that will give beginning safety razor users confidence in getting the job done. It does not seem aggressive at all, but it does give a nice shave. Read more

This is a great razor. It is a little aggressive so I would not get it as my first double edge razor but if you have your technique down, this is a great razor. Read more

This is a nice size. I have the 98 and like it (I have large hands) but this one nice and much lighter. Great quality as always with Parker. Great for travel. Read more

I bought this to replace an EJ that had broken. Fit & finish are quality for this price point. Shaves slightly more aggressive than the EJ did, but not hard to adjust to. I consider it an upgrade for less money. Read more

Great short handle razor. Really efficient so be care going around corners until you have your technique down. Read more
