Brand New 2023 Parker Variant Open Comb

[@elvisf]

Nice shave! We need some head shaves for baldies like us 😅. I think it’d be good to mention how they perform on a head shave, at least for the top 10 videos. I used the twig on my head and was very surprised with the shave, no cuts or irritation.

Got mine yesterday and tried it out this morning. Loaded a fresh Personna blade, cranked the setting up to 5 and got a smooth and super close shave. Love it.

I had always liked the look of the original variant but have been wary of the Parker trademark aggression. I was recently gifted a 26C and, even though I have a bad track record with open combs, got a great shave with it. It is good to see innovation from this established brand.

[@ColletteClassic]

Got mine after watching this video! Love it with a personna blade and setting 3 for first pass then setting 2 for the 2nd. I haven’t NEEDED to do a 3rd pass yet, and my neck is super sensitive so idk if I will ever try it. I found the 1 setting to just be too mild for me, where I didn’t feel any blade at all until setting 2 or so. Give setting 2-3 a try, and if you could compare it to the Rockwell t2 that would be awesome!

[@OhioShaves]

Great to hear!

[@brianh2287]

Great video, and excellent review comparing the razors at the beginning man! I am with you, I was not a fan of the original variant. I have tried to use it several times and it's a blood bath every time. And before anyone comments, yes I made sure the mark on the top cap matched the mark on the base plate. I wonder if they would let me exchange it 🤣. Glad they improved the razor because I am a fan of the Company. Parker is a great company to have in wet shaving. Peace brother ! ☮

[@OhioShaves]

Thanks Brian. 💯

[@Kyleashdown13]

Really want to try more razors, i came by a ‘58 D3 Gillette executive adjustable (the gold fatboy with knurling like a slim) for £5 here in the UK. Had no interest in safety razors bit bought it because it just looked special. So glad i did, saved me a fortune in blades and has taught me alot about technique for different settings. Now i want to preserve it through using it only on special occasions and find another really nice but more replaceable daily shave 🤔

[@mrupright]

That BIC Astor is a great blade. I was excited to try the chrome platinum in my Henson because it’s reputed to be the sharpest. I had one of the worst shaves of my life. I saw a lot of reviews that said the Astor was identical, but it gave me one of the best shaves. I think I’m sensitive to coatings.

[@OhioShaves]

Identical to what?

[@mrupright]

@@OhioShaves to the Chrome Platinum. I read that BIC Astor and BIC Chrome Platinum were identical blades in different packages. I found them very different.

[@boostedbliss07MK5]

I love your channel & not trying to bust your chops here. I totally get staring off on 1 with an open comb but wish you would have cranked it up. U said u had 7 days of growth but you mowed it down with 1. That tells me it’s very aggressive/efficient for a 1 setting and concerns me it useless for ED use. I’ll have to go rewatch your closed comb variant shave video. I don’t recall what u didn’t like about it. I use the variant on 2-3 for ED shaves. I like it better then my T2, progress, vintage black beauty. Smooth and very efficient. Possibly the smoothest razor I have for the efficiency offered. Can you possibly make another video of this razor on higher settings? Or better yet a variant Vs open comb variant shave off! Again no disrespect love your vids.

[@OhioShaves]

Definitely going to compare them

[@boostedbliss07MK5]

@@OhioShaves can’t wait to see it! I don’t want to see u get cut but crank that bad boy up a few clicks. U have used way more razors on high settings then I have and a R41. I just wanna see if can u even use 2-3 on this open comb or does it make the Futur seem smooth 🤣

[@mrmasher1126]

With that bulky, i am surprised to see how to navigate that narrow place. Was actually interested in Parker 24c/26c, as that OC razor is gentle on the face. Great shave demonstration theremsir.

[@OhioShaves]

Thank you much

[@RichardE62]

It's definitely a good razor. I like mine. It's not a Rockwell but it doesn't cost as much either. Well the 6C is actually cheaper.

[@OhioShaves]

Totally agree

I was thinking not having the lather channels would be an issue, but the Merkur Futur is the same and never has been an issue.

[@philipdunard69]

Might this be Parker's response to their Indian competitor Pearl coming out with the open comb version of the Flexi which also differs in some respects from the closed comb Flexi?

[@OhioShaves]

Could be. I believe they changed the blade angle for a smoother shave. It feels completely different the original Variant.

How would you compare the aggressiveness of this open Variant with the 24/26c? Or what setting of the OC variant equals the aggressiveness of the 24/26? Thanks for your work!

I'm going to compare them both side-by-side.

[@ivanmuniz3288]

That'll be great!!! Waiting to see it!!!

[@colossusX1]

Just got the Parker 66R and it’s definitely more aggressive than I am used to (almost too much so for me). Maybe just need to find the right blade for it.

[@OhioShaves]

It would help

[@CC-wolverine]

Try a supermax titanium or a treet platinum they produce great shaves in my Parker semi slant the supermax is very mild but super smooth and cuts well considering it's a mild blade. The treet is a mild to medium blade but is super smooth and just as sharp as a dorco red or Astra blue razor blade. And no razor burn, for me anyways and I have sensitive skin w course beard. The semi slant is a medium agreesive razor but I've managed to learn how to use it better and choosing the right blade and cold water shaves has done wonders for me.

[@colossusX1]

@@CC-wolverine I like the Supermax blades and the Treet Carbon currently. Both are now working well. Treet Carbon was a nice surprise at how smooth it was for the cost.

[@CC-wolverine]

@@colossusX1 if you like the treet carbon black beauty blades you love the treet new edge carbon blades they sharper have a coating and feel smoother as well. Treet has 15 different blade lines I have tried 5 so far and only one I don't care for is the silver carbon very dull and agrressive feeling tug my skin. I originally didn't like supermax blades but then feel in love since they a great blade just not a great combo for every razor. Plus better cutting and knowing how to use the razor helps too lol blade angle is most important thing learned the hard way

I just test the Parker VARIANT OPEN COMB , it's a good Razor but if you use the MUHLE R41 for many years like I do , for more the ten years you fine out that nothing like it will surpassed it plain simple , I'm 74 years old and shave my Head and Face for 45 years with a straight Razor made by BOKER grate Razor and then my hands starting shake a little beet so I change to wet shaving I have test all the Razors you could imagine until I got to the MUHLE R41 for me the best , but not any person is the same that's why you have Colors so you can choose the one you like more ha ha ha , back to conversation The VARIANT OPEN COMB don't get wrong it's a very good Razor for Beginners that's about it !!!!! Love you're program you are a straight forward person I do like that very much I hope for you more success in you're program !!!!! Carlo !!!
