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 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!

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 ! ☮

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 🤔

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.

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.
