Mind-Blowing Parker SoloEdge Review!

[@xycan8734]

Damn. I'm really impressed with this razor. I've watched a lot of your reviews but with this razor you can actually just tell how good it is watching you shave with it.

[@OhioShaves]

👍

[@jimbrown6604]

Add a drop of water to the blade before loading and see if that helps.

[@sshobbies276]

How does this Razor compare to the Henson Al13?

[@JLFiveTwo]

This razor is a winner! You won’t beat this price, plus the 100 blades it comes with. My daily driver is a Rockwell 6C on plate 4 for head shaves and a Parker PTABK shavette on the low exposure setting for lining my beard and shaving my neck area. I’m black and my neck area is sensitive and prone to ingrowns and using a shavette eliminated the irritation for me. I bought the Soloedge hoping it would be a good cross between my Rockwell and shavette that I could take traveling. The Soloedge was effortless, quick, and efficient for head shaves. For me it felt closer to a plate 5 on the 6C; my head was completely smooth after a pass or 2. Comparing the two for head shaves I’d say that the Rockwell is a smoother and more comfortable shave overall, but the Soloedge is intuitive and delivered a very close shave in its own right. The Soloedge did a noticeably better job than the Rockwell for lining my beard and mustache. The Soloedge still gave me some irritation on my neck area so I’ll just stick to my shavette for this part. The other obvious perk with the Soloedge is that you’re only using up half a blade at a time. I usually toss my DE blades after 3-4 uses each week when I clean my razor, so I rarely get the full usage from each blade. With a SE I’m wasting less usage when I toss the blade after 3-4 shaves.

[@OhioShaves]

Thanks for sharing. Very Helpful

[@cod4787]

It always makes me excited to see a new SE razor. Probably some flashback from the dark days of the plastic era 😀. Thank you for sharing. I will probably buy it.

[@OhioShaves]

My pleasure!

[@jeffpalmer9149]

Wow looks like the Leaf Thorn has some real competition. Can't wait to see them compared side by side. Both of these remind me of the Bic Metal disposable razor. That was the the single edge razors they were giving out when I started college. You know back when I knew everything. Thought it would fix the clogging issues with cartridges. Yeah I was young and an idiot as we all were. When you compare these I would be interested in the difference in weight and balance. As always great video. You making me think of adding razor 4 to the collection.

[@OhioShaves]

Thanks Jeff. I will definitely be comparing them

[@RHDaveShaves]

Excellent video and a great shave, David. Thank you! Best regards.

[@OhioShaves]

Many thanks!

[@badtothebone346]

Ohio Shaves, you did it again. You made me buy another razor for my ever growing collection. It's a great razor. I don't mind the fact that it's only a single edge. I did find that the glue you don't like on the double edge blades helps to hold it in place while loading. I also hold it at the neck of the razor so that it doesn't spin while loading it. For $39, it's a no hrainer. Thanks for sharing your take on it. Another great video.

[@OhioShaves]

That is awesome!

[@eastwood34]

I could see this being a big contender for Leaf, especially with how good parker blades are. Maybe I might be lucky enough to convert my dad to safety razors with this. Thanks for the review!

[@OhioShaves]

Great point!

[@GenXAccord]

I've never heard anyone say Parker's blades are good. They are the second worst ones I've ever tried. Dull to the point of being ineffective and one of the few I've ever taken out of a razor to replace with a better blade to finish the shave. (The worst being the Kent of Inglewood's in house blades. They and the Parker's are neck and neck the worst blades I've ever used.) Personna, Astra Green, Wilkinson Sword (German one), and Permasharp are sharp enough to get the job done with ease but not super sharp like the Japanese blades (Kai and Feather) which require a lot of care in using.

[@OhioShaves]

The single edge Parker blades are sharper than the double edge blades@@GenXAccord

[@GenXAccord]

@@OhioShaves That's good to hear. Those double edge ones were very disappointing. But they are a good example of just how different blades can be and why it's good to try quite a few before you settle on any 1 blade or decide if DE shaving is right for you.

[@eastwood34]

@@GenXAccord May just be my experience, but then again I like blades that most people aren't fans of.

[@chriscox2894]

Good review just got mine yesterday will be using early this week looking forward to trying it out

[@OhioShaves]

Nice

[@Kenoji8]

I just got the razor today and I must say, it is a very nice shaver. I used a familiar go-to blade, the Rapira Platinum Lux, and it was a smooth shave all the way through. I thought it got a bit aggressive near the end (I do three passes normally), but when I put the alum on my face after, I hardly had any irritation at all. So the shave was largely a success. Two things I would say about the razor, though. First, I also wish it had a magnet with it to hold the blade in place. Using pre-cut half blades are fine, but if you're going to snap your own blades in half, you can use scissors to cut the end tabs down a bit just to take away any curved edges (shout out to Subie Shaves for that one). Maybe we can find a thin magnet strip somewhere to lay on the razor base to give it that magnetic hold. And secondly, although the satin finish on the razor is pretty good, I wish there was a polished gunmetal, nickel, or chrome-finished version to make the glide a bit smoother. But that's just kind of nitpicking. I have to test the razor more with other blades before I give my full verdict, but overall, I'd give it a thumbs up.

[@OhioShaves]

Great review. Thanks for sharing.

[@Kenoji8]

@@OhioShaves -- No problem, David. I contacted a magnet company through eBay to see if they offered something small enough to attach to the Parker to rectify holding the blade in place. Hopefully they have a solution. The company name is "magnet4us" and they are based in Canada.

I received mine today and have already tried it out. I think it's a good planer at a reasonable price Well made, it shaves well, what more could you want

[@OhioShaves]

Thanks for your support

[@ResurrectedHopeMinistries]

Wanted to update everyone from a week ago when Dave posted this video. I added this Parker to my inventory. I mean, why not at the cost of it. For me, this razor paired with a Personna Lab Blue provides one of the best (BBS) head shaves I have ever had. Two passes and some touch up. This little gem will be in my top rotation with some big guns…..ie: Henson, Rockwell 6S, TRC, and Yates H plate. Might be better than anything in the Leaf line (….and I really like the Thorn & 3-blade Leaf). Hope that helps someone in the wet shaving world. Peace.

[@Das_Folsom]

Just got this razor for a bday gift. It’s definitely aggressive with a bite if you over shave it, but it’s worth the price.

[@OhioShaves]

Right on

[@marck78]

Great video! Being an engineer, adding a magnetic piece is a nice feature. Similar to other razors with this feature. Just be mindful, Parker would need to raise the price. My estimate would be $10 USD. For added materials, inventory carry, adjustment of capital expense tooling and molds, additional manufacturing steps and labor. So if the price is of utmost importance, the magnet might be counter attractive to hitting the market window.

[@OhioShaves]

Thanks for the info!

[@ResurrectedHopeMinistries]

Hey brother. Great video as usual. You set the bar for wet shaving content! Ok, so this one fits in the budget. One on the way. However, that $1K job you were using the other day….that would get me divorced for sure. LOL! Keep it coming sir!

I'm currently using a pearl butterfly razor. But what irritates me is that hair gets clogged up when shaving and doesn't come off easily even after rinsing it with water, unless I loosen up the butterfly mechanism. Is it easy to rinse off the hair from this Parker razor without loosening up the blade.

[@OhioShaves]

very easy with a parker

[@dontmindmeimjustvisiting]

If it wasn’t for the bad loading mechanism I would now buy it as my first real razor ever. I’m 28 and haven’t been shaving with razors myself since a couple years now. Usually go to my local barber or use an electric shaver. But I just wanna start doing it myself and not waste so much money on barbers because sometimes I wanna shave every two days. I guess I need to look for one as good but with a better blade insert.

Between this and the focus dynamic,costs aside, which do you prefer? Also, which is the more mild version of the two

[@OhioShaves]

I don’t understand your question

[@dragsterguy21]

I have been using a beginner razor from amazon for the past few months (viking godfather) and have been struggling with it under my chin / neck. I know that it is my technique or angle because I can shave it fine with a cartridge. Because I still can't get it right, I was thinking of switching to something like a leaf twig / thorn. Would this be better for me than a twig / thorn? The price of the soloedge is attractive but the leaf twig has so much praise around it right now.

[@OhioShaves]

That's a tough one both razors are excellent

[@dragsterguy21]

I decided to order the soloedge since it is cheaper and can take more hair down on the first pass. If I have an irritating shave, I do single passes until my skin goes sback to normal. @@OhioShaves

[@AC-pu2eh]

Can you get more than one shave out of each blade? I’ve never used a safety razor before.

[@OhioShaves]

Yes. Typically three or four some people get way more and others just shave once and throw them away because they are so cheap

[@Capie]

🇿🇦 Bad news .. saw on another shaving channel snapping a double edge blade to use on this razor. Some blades snap / break uneven and had to do a work arround to find a way to fix the issue to use the snapped blade. The issue is because of the uneven snap and because the design of the head of the razor the edge / cut side of the blade don't appear or petrude even .. blade is not seated even! Glad I did not buy over hasty .. !! Don't say it is going to happen every time but just a headsup to look out for it!!😳

[@OhioShaves]

Just as I described in my video. It having no magnet was an issue.

[@Kenoji8]

Another great shave and the razor looks nice! I had seen other single edge razors (Leaf Thorn & Twig, OneBlade Razor, Supply Razor (which I used to own), etc.), but this one looks very nice and the price is nice, too! I might have to look into this more, but if the aggression is more mid, I might have to back away a bit because I prefer like Mild-Medum razors. As for me, the past couple of shaves had me revisit the Henson AL-13M after a long time and I've been using all types of Personna blades (Lab Blue, Comfort Coat, AccuForge) and my shaves have been extremely close and baby smooth. And honestly, I'm starting to prefer the Lab Blue / AccuForge blades more because I got an immaculate shave with those while the Comfort Coat did pretty good, but I still felt a little roughness afterwards. Overall though, I got some excellent shaves from the AL-13M (and I use another, heavier handle for my AL-13M, so it isn't all aluminum anymore). I'm also getting "Smash" from House of Mammoth this week after sampling it and being BLOWN AWAY with the soap like I was with Embrace...but even more so! Can't wait! 😍

[@OhioShaves]

I’m still testing the soap. Not convinced yet. The soap keeps falling out.

[@Kenoji8]

@@OhioShaves -- Interesting. I've never really had that problem with House of Mammoth soaps or any other soap from artisans. Sounds frustrating. 😒😒😒 If it is the pour inside the container being loose maybe you could get a refund from them. That is so odd. Edit: Also, I just picked this razor up after a bit more research. Looking into it to see if it is a good recommendation for someone just getting into the hobby. Might recommend this over the Henson if all goes well, due to price point.

[@rangiz99]

It looks like the angle is easy to find. How much blade feel is there? I didn’t like the Parker blades so getting the 100 pack doesn’t really help. For 39 dollars it does seem tempting

[@OhioShaves]

Blade feel was great

[@sshobbies276]

How does this Razor compare to the Henson Al13?

[@OhioShaves]

in terms of aggression it's on the mild side.

[@schmoparis]

Convinced me. Just ordered one. Your camera is pretty good and you can see it just glided across your face and shaved pretty close even on one pass.

[@MonsterSpooky]

Hey, David! Can you conduct an experiment? I've heard that to soften your hair before shaving, you don't need to take a shower or treat your face with a hot towel. All you need to do is apply an alkaline substance with a pH level from 8 to 9 (the higher, the better) to the hair for 10 seconds. Basically, you can use the cheapest household soap bar because it has the required pH level. Just lather it up on your face and rinse. Nothing more. Some argue that this is the only correct way to prepare your hair for shaving.

[@OhioShaves]

I always take a shower to help soften up the hair on my face. Then I use a brush to exfoliate the dead skin, even more and clean out the pores of my face. But I do have sensitive skin

[@MonsterSpooky]

I understand. But a shower softens hair by about 50% (no matter how hard you try), and household soap by 100%. These numbers are arbitrary*@@OhioShaves

#ohioshavessoloedge Great review as always. I appreciate all the feedback and insights you put in your reviews. I have been really thinking about getting a SE, injector or Parker's Semi Slant for my wire bristle facial hair. Subie was feeling this was a bit aggressive, but with you saying it lands between the Twig and Thorn I am very interested. I have The Thorn, but its fixed angle doesn't give me the control I need in my ridiculously coarse goatee area which I choose not to grow out because it never really softens enough and really tears up my wife's sensitive face.

I'm the kind of guy who rarely uses both sides of any of my DE razors during a shave - keeping track of which edge is almost impossible for me (although if I use a razor with an open comb and closed side makes it a bit easier). Aside from the challenge of loading a half blade this looks to be a great choice. I've looked at some of the other half-blade options but they seem to look a bit too "space craft" or "feminine" for me - this has a more traditional look. Adding this to my list of razors for my shave den. #ohioshavessoloedge

I'm going to do a side-by-side comparison. the head is a little bigger on the parker and loading it was a little funky. The head of the leaf is definitely smaller but the parker locks in a lot more secure. Go figure.

Wow ! That’s a Great razor 🪒 for that price & 100 Baldes that’s a deal. Thank You. For sharing this video great review as always ! Keep sending these great 👍🏻 videos out there ! #Ohioshavessoloesge

Thanks 👍

Wished I could be, not keen on Parkers. My first razor was the 94r and it's horrible to shave with, super aggressive, and their 98r can be a bit touch and miss. Only ever got on with the 22r, and single edge razors seem to have blade issues unlike the DE, seems like the single edge lose their sharpness very quick...

[@OhioShaves]

Understood

[@beyondthe90]

#ohioshavessoloedge I think I'm going to make the plunge and buy this razor. Even with the growth you had from the eye test I detected if you had to run out the door after 1 pass it looked like minimal touch-up would have been needed and looks perfect as a one pass shaver either every day and every other day. I also like the 2 piece of this razor. The thing that I get scared about with the twig/thorn is I'm going to be clumsy and bend the top by accident. For my use it looks the perfect razor for my travel bag, knowing when on the road I could likely do a 1 pass and go knowing at worst it would be a DFS. I can respect your stance of using the blade that is most comfortable for you when doing these tests. It's truly the only way to know if the razor fits like a glove. Like you said, the Parker blades are functional but if something works better for the shaver, take advantage of it.

[@OhioShaves]

Well said. Thanks for sharing.

I enjoyed watching your video,I am impressed with parker at pricing the single edge $40 wow that is crazy.#ohioshavessoloedge

You and me both!

Hey mate you know the merkur slanted razors they are not new they sold the merkur slated razors probably 1930s to 1950s the vintage merkur slated razors are sliver brass plated than chrome merkur slated razors.

I don’t understand why you wrote this comment here

[@Bri1370]

Great review! Just curious, what are your thoughts on the Parker blades? They have been my go to ever since Astra switched. #ohioshavessoloedge

[@OhioShaves]

They are great blades I just don't use them enough to do a actual review of a razor with them. I like using my go to blades on any new razor. I'm going to review.

[@derrikduff6621]

#ohioshavessoloedge Very interested in this razor after seeing how well it did for you. I like you have sensitive skin with tough growth and really have to watch what I use especially on my neck. Thanks for the review!

[@OhioShaves]

Really appreciate all your support. Stay in touch.

[@daanfoerch]

#ohioshavessoloedge Great review again! Do you prefer this one over the Leaf Thorn (or Twig)?

[@OhioShaves]

It’s up there, but you just can’t beat the price with 100 blades

[@looksout]

great video. @ Parker solo edge razor seem to me to be a good single edge razor.

[@OhioShaves]

Definitely!

[@Zaros1337]

How would you compare the aggression of the SoloEdge to Leaf Thorn? #ohioshavessoloedge

[@OhioShaves]

Going to do a comparison video for that

[@richardburns4635]

#ohioshavessoloedge Nice shave. Interesting razor. Compelling value. Thank you!

#ohioshavessoloedge great review, I’ve seen other Parker razors like the Variant that are sometimes as good as the higher priced razors but at an economical price point

[@OhioShaves]

Well said!

[@wetwork6553]

#ohioshavessoloedgerazor How would you say it compares to a Henson medium? I ask because people speak of Henson as the holy grail.

[@OhioShaves]

This is a different type of razor, but I think the question that you're asking is how efficient is it compared to the medium aggressive razor from Henson. I'd say it's probably on Par with it when it comes to efficiency and removing hair off your face. The Henson is so easy to shave with for beginners. If you don't get the correct angle, it doesn't cut and that's huge. But some people are still afraid of a double edge razor. This is where single edge blades come in and this parker is here to stay.

[@wetwork6553]

@@OhioShaves Awesome! Thank you for getting back at me! I have the Rockwell 6c and the Thorn, but I’m always on the lookout. Lol!

[@ardakaya682]

#ohioshavessoloedge Great video! just ordered myself the rockwell 6c and personna blades after watching your videos.

[@OhioShaves]

That is awesome! Thanks, thanks for your support

Thanks. Me too

[@johnnyb.2792]

#ohioshavessoloedge Try putting a drop of water on the base plate first. That may hold the blade in place while you screw on the top. Great shave!

[@PhilipGentile-zm7rf]

Great review, like how you keep it true. Do think price point overcomes the negative about loading. Maybe a good travel razor? #ohioshavessoloedge

[@OhioShaves]

Great travel
