Parker Variant Adjustable Safety Razor - Graphite

Seems to do very well. The adjustment is just a loosening process. It is hard to see the numbers on the razor. Only negative.

Excellent fit and finish. The black handle is nice contrast to the matte head finish. Good weight and balance. I use a 3 setting for the first pass and 2 for passes two and three. Quick and easy to adjust. SSR's service always first rate!

I've used safety razors for over 50 years. After using the Parker Variant for over a month, I can say that it is the best safety razor I've ever used. I chose the graphite model as it most closely resembled the 1970s era Gillette "Super-84" Adjustable razor I used to use. But the resemblance ends with the color. At 110 grams, the Parker Variant is heavier than the 67 gm Gillette---allowing you to press less hard and letting the razor do more of the work. The longer handle provides more control than the Gillette Super Adjustable. Watch the 2 minute instructional video for the Parker Variant---it'll tell you all you need to know about using this great razor.

Excellent build quality and perfect heft. perfect shave with absolutely no irritation or razor burn, smooth shave.

Awesome shave! My 3rd Parker and worth the money. Get you one!

First adjustable I've owned, well made has a very nice weight and balance. All shaves so far have been very nice. Once I become used to this razor I'll try different settings.

The Parker Variant is an amazing razor. It is a must have razor, looks great and easy to use.

Excellent product and a perfect entry into double edged razors. This will make you throw your Gillette in the trash and never look back. An amazing wet shave experience to say the least.

This is probably the best razor i have tried. The razor shaves wonderfully with the minimum of effort, and there is nice weight, and the knurling on the handle is very good. I thoroughly recommend this product

Magnifica pieza,muy bonita y bien terminada, creo que vale mas de lo que cuesta. saludos y gracias

After receiving my Variant, I finally put my Merkur Futur to rest after 7 years of exclusive daily use. I easily found that sweet spot between efficiency and comfort with the greatest amount of hair reduction in my personal comfort zone. I'm not the kind of shaver who has rotations. I find something that works and I stick with it and for over a year the Variant has been the "One." I just ordered a second one (just in case).

I just got the graphite variant razor and am very pleased. I am a longtime wet shaver, and have tried various styles of razors (slant, single edge, standard DE razors) and was pleased that an old adjustable razor I picked up on eBay beat all of these. This razor beats that old adjustable, and I tested it by shaving my head. I got a smooth, non irritating shave. The handle is easy to hold, and the weight of the razor is excellent. I do remember having a Merkur Progress some years ago, which I sold and this razor beats that also. The Progress wasn't easy to hold, and I didn't think that the blade was held tight enough. I can tell after one shave that the blade is secure, I moved it up to 4 to shave part of my head. Get this razor!
