Improved! Parker SoloEdge MAGNETic Razor Shave & Review

Get the Razor Here: bit.ly/SoloEdg... Geo does an unboxing-shave-review of the NEWEST Parker SoloEdge Single Edge Safety Razor. This razor has been upgraded with an embedded magnet in the baseplate that will hold the blade in place to simplify loading or installing the blade. This eliminates difficulties loading the blade evident in the previous original model. First, a walk-around the box-then a description of the razor and then lathering up and shaving with it. Proraso and Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving creams are lathered together with the Simpsons Trafalgar T3 synthetic brush. This SoloEdge Razor uses one side of a double edge blade split in half, or you can purchase pre-split blades in 100 count packs at Shave Nation.

Glad Parker added the magnet, love the Franken lather Geo!

[@johnswazey3443]

I got one. It gives and am happy with the shave. I do not think I will ever go to another razor. I will probably keep my fusion for travel till the blades are used up. I can not imagine a better shaving system.

[@pugchronicals1374]

I purchased the SoloEdge directly from Super Safety Razors, when the they released them maybe a month ago. Now they come out with improved version with a magnet. I won't make that mistake again. I'll wait a few months b4 purchasing to insure i get the newest updated version..

[@TomRomano-rm8uy]

Same with me, literally got it a few weeks ago and now I see this from Geo...I suspect the feedback about blade loading Parker got was anything but positive. Didn't take them long to understand it was a design flaw, and not the response I got from Super Safety Razor, which was: "The magnet is a very minor change and does not impact the shave." I have taken the razor out of my rotation, it's just too difficult to load the blade with my arthritis. What a waste. I'll stick with my Vector and Hawk3.

[@N-I-N-OS]

Same here! Now i feel like i was let down.

[@patileranagoud8478]

fix the small magnet below the base plate😊

[@greathoundAZ]

Nice video. Thanks for including an aggressive/efficiency rating. Very helpful.

[@johnqpublic8070]

Just got mine. Great service from Shave Nation as usual. First shave was amazing. This razor is going to be a winner.

[@geofatboy]

Thanks very much for sharing-and watching!

[@terrym1065]

Nice shave as always Geo and the SoloEdge did the trick no sweat. A "Super lather" is always fun to do, I have lots of super lathers because I don't get all the soap cleaned from my lather bowls, mix em up for next time😉 Great video and smooth results, thanks.

[@johnfarish3102]

Could you do a comparison with the leaf twig or thorn? I would like to see how the soloedge compares.Great videos.I seen all of them.Keep up the good work.John B F

[@pfritts3111]

Ohio Shaves did exactly that this morning

[@joyghosh7239]

Why don't you do a comparison between this razor and the Thorn or Twig razor from Leaf company

[@AlitaAvenger]

Thanks for the video! Have a good weekend 🙏

[@user9b2]

Is this a mild razor like the Hansen mild? Thanks

[@gorankoilic6571]

I am celebrating my birthday today.

[@geofatboy]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂GORAN! Have a Great Shave, Have a Great Birthday!

[@pfritts3111]

I hate when I rush to buy a razor and then they fix the issues with it 2 months after LOL

[@paulogama5782]

Hi Geo, interesting razor from Parker. It's always nice to see your videos about new goods and the best way to use them. See you soon mate. Stay good. 🖐

[@simonosborne3047]

Hey Geo. Been watching your channel now for a few years, still moving my face as you shave. Like riding shotgun and hitting the brakes.

[@geofatboy]

Love it! I've been guilty of slamming my foot to the floorboard whilst occupying the shotgun position as well!🤣

[@douglasfletcher718]

I just got one last week from somewhere else (sorry...) and I love the razor, but I haven't gotten a super shave from it yet. I have gotten acceptable shaves, but not like my 40s style super speed, and nothing like my straight razors (but what comes close to a straight?) I've tried the Parker blades, Feather, and Astra superior Platinum (old Russian stock,) with the astra being the best so far. As always, a great video! Thanks, and keep them coming!

[@Bong04292]

May i know the different between Leaf Shave Twig Razor ? Which one is sharper ?

[@OhioShaves]

Great Video Geo

[@barbusthecompany9265]

Nice job Man!!! Good for you!!! Oh Yeah!!

[@geofatboy]

Thanks Mr Barbus!

[@barbusthecompany9265]

@@geofatboy You never tried it!!! Let's go shave Bro!!!

[@markfletcher5457]

Super cool. 👌

[@Kenoji8]

I still think they should have had a chrome or nickel plated finish option. Yeah, while they did add the magnet which was a pretty big thing, the satin finish on the razor (in my experience) slightly drags on the face at times, and I get better performance out of plated razors than anything. And for them to come out with a non-magnetic version and then turn around a month later and come out with this seems like people who got the first batch were slighted a bit. But anyway, this was a good shave, Geo. Thanks for the video!

[@geofatboy]

Thanks Kenoji-We can only hope... There will likely be more improvements to come. They should always be trying to make it better!

[@klav5930]

Cool mashup of shaving creams! I do one with Castle Forbes Lavender and Lime essential oils, along with the matching balms. Have you ever did a video with a rose shave soap? Kinda wanted to know your thoughts on it before pulling the trigger

[@geofatboy]

Thanks and yes I have. Rose soaps and creams smell great! bit.ly/AllShavingCreamsSN

[@genebolles7451]

How many shaves do you get from a half DE blade? I get 7-10 shaves from a injector razor.

[@dkremeni633]

i always like your videos, but what's the point of single edge vs double edge?

[@user9b2]

IF "you always like his videos", why even ask, you should already know and if you do not, just look it up 🤷‍♂️

[@dkremeni633]

@@user9b2 because i hit "like" for his presentation and charisma, and I'm asking him because he is the expert. But i probably said it wrong, i like his videos, but that has nothing to do with the question XD, it's just a question :)

[@user9b2]

Thank you for the clarification. 👍

[@rsolsjo]

The IBC shavette is also magnetic, wish it was industry standard on every razor. It's soooo convenient to not have to fiddle the blades in place.

[@Nutshell287]

Hey Geo, did you change your recording device ? Can’t hear shaving sounds, how the blade cuts beard …. Amazing video as always.. following you for years !

[@geofatboy]

Yes-I know, and I agree. Thanks for mentioning it. I tried something else this time and it doesn't pick up the lovely toast scraping sounds of the beardage being removed! Back to the previous mic on the next one. Thanks for keeping me in check, I appreciate it!

[@Nutshell287]

@@geofatboy no worries brother...that scrapping sound of beradage being removed is very important part;)

[@joyghosh7239]

Geo are you lifting because you look jacked💪

[@geofatboy]

Lifting 3 days a week-cardio 3 days a week-Summer Bod Mode. Thanks for noticing and commenting-it gives me even more motivation! 🏋‍♀

[@jeffrielly]

can you reccomend a good bay rum shave soap with a strong cinnamony smell? I like the scent of Dr. Squatch's and Duke Canon's Bay Rum body soap scents for an example of what I mean by "strong cinnamony smell"

[@ahmedsellami9196]

Hi, Which is milder: muhle r89 or merkur 23c ? Thank you

[@kaz153m]

Where's a good place to sell very lightly used DE razors? I've got a Parker Variant and brass Karve Overlander. Both great for someone.

[@geofatboy]

Online auction websites and shaving forums.

[@donalddrug3660]

R41 is the best razor

[@Bigdogshaving]

It’s a beat!!!

[@posterize9729]

I live near the shop, would I be able to buy one in the shop or are you selling only online right now?

[@geofatboy]

Order online and stop by and pick it up-ready in an hour!

[@robertlarkham2428]

I mix soaps all the time. 😀

[@dionysiostsakalidis1407]

Hello my friend from Greece 🇬🇷 blade gap and blade exposure??

[@N-I-N-OS]

so what about us who bought it before they had the magnet in?

[@Zaros1337]

Like myself, just smile and move on. :)

It happens all the time with cars...

[@user-qs5ef2qi7d]

if you added couple drops of glycerin you would have created uber lather !

[@gorankoilic6571]

I mixed two liquid soaps and washed my face before shaving.
