Parker Semi Slant Razor

[@brianh2287]

This razor is fantastic. I loved the Merkur 37c so much that I wanted to try another slant. Since I just received this razor, I have only shaved a couple of times with the Parker semi-slant. This razor is very efficient and smooth, absolutely a fantastic shaves. The Merkur 37c and Parker semi-slant are both superb. I prefer the build of the Parker slightly more, it is gorgeous.

[@heisenberg470]

What do you think are the differences compared to the 37C in terms of shaving? I'm talking in terms of cutting efficiency, smoothness, etc. Does it really make sense to buy it already having the Merkur?

[@brianh2287]

@@heisenberg470 No it doesn't make sense, most purchases don't in wet shaving. I buy A LOT of products I don't need in wet shaving. I simply love razors, but the Merkur 37c is a fantastic razor. The 37c is so good that it's one of those razors you can say you don't need another razor beyond that. The Parker feels slightly more efficient than the 37c and the Parker is a more solid build. My favorite slant is the IKON X3, and it's one of my favorite razors in my collection.

[@pauledmonds4141]

The build quality looks just as good as the Variant, solid with a nice weight. Never used a Slant but that’s tempting. Great combination of products. Loved seeing Riley having fun in the Sun, well played Kevy, the grass looks immaculate!. The choc is a smashing combination as well.

[@mikeh9701]

Hi Kevy- Great shave and Parker razor review; thank you! Quite a nice-looking razor; did a great job. Great to see Mr Riley in action out in the yard; thank you! He’s definitely a great little guy and I’m sure he’s a great companion to have around the home. Take good care and all the best for a great weekend!

[@mattbod]

You have convinced me to buy one of these. Someone gave me a Merkur 37c on one of the forums and I love that. People say that is not for inexperienced but I had not been long to DE shaving when I used it first. It’s efficient and not aggressive: good for both heavy beards and sensitive skin. Fancy trying one of the Fatip Lo Stoltos at some point but no idea whether to buy open or closed comb ones.

[@alexdeleon7135]

WooHoo! The Semi-Slant was worth the weight. A smashing review, and demonstration, Kev. I have a hypothesis that the lather channel design contributes to amplifying the audio feedback to a Nigel Tufnel 11. The loudest to date of your razor collection. All the Parker and Taconic shave accoutrements are not only well performing, they are top tier in value. Thank you for the sharp closeup shots of the SL-55. It should give prospective buyers a concise look at the razor's design before commitment. Lovely lather from that synthetic knot. I'm yet to try the Taconic pump cream(s). I expect an entire plethora of blades will get a go in the SL-55. It makes me tense with anticipation for the varied outcomes. Cheers to Nancy, and Howi for their unsurpassed kindness and support. Many thanks for the outdoor footage of Riley. He is so energetic, playful, and dearly loves his dad. That brought a unique feature to this masterful episode. Thank you, mate! My dearest regards to Shona. Enjoy the weekend...

[@kevyshaves4109]

You're correct Alex. The lather channel gap probably adds to the loudness of this razor. Yet again, Parker have a produced a well made, well thought out, great looking and affordable razor to add to their amazing collection of DE razors. Riley always enjoy rolling on the grass when the sun is out. Enjoy your Sunday mate. Kevy 😀👍

[@rajansharmaadv]

Hello, Kevy, how are you, you are in UK and I am in INDIA but the internet has covered all the barriers and distance, I am a great fan of your videos and watch regularly, I purchased this razor from AMAZON some time back and found it to be more efficient and aggressive than my Merkur 37c slant razor, 37c glides over the skin better and much more forgiving than this razor, however this razor also gives a really close shave that is not as comfortable as with the 37c, I always eagerly wait for your videos , thanks.

[@kevyshaves4109]

Thank you for the kind words Rajan. This Parker is an efficient razor. Cheers. Kevy 👍

[@petko9133]

probably you have the newer version of 37c, it is far more milder than the older.cheers

[@rajansharmaadv]

@@petko9133 yes I might have the newer version of Merkur 37c and that is my daily go to razor, comfortable and efficient but I would say not very much forgiving but I love it.

[@JeroenvKL]

Looks like a very well made and weighty razor. The slant, so I’ve been told, cuts more efficient since it makes a slicing movement like a knive. A normal razor will pull the hair a little bit so it’s a bit more irritating than you’d get with a slant.

[@kevyshaves4109]

It's a very nice razor. Yes, you described perfectly how a slant razor works. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍

[@marcocerqueglini4441]

Very nice shaving Kevy,good Sunday!!!

[@ArchonSG1]

The funniest thing about watching this shave video at the start was that I had a really huge burning question. Why do you have a large Cadbury's Dairy Milk Chocolate bar up on your shower rails? Then you pointed it out and said you'd show and explain. Well, ok. 🤣 Good shave there Kevy. Though I still think you do better with the milder razors, a lot less weepers.

[@jensebu78]

Same here 🤣

[@kevyshaves4109]

[@marshaktboy]

I have been wet shaving for years but only using DE razors for about 2 months. My main ones being the King C, Muhle R106 and the Merkur 34G. I never thought that I would get into such a routine and end up watching blokes shaving!! I saw this and thought I would give it a go as everyone seemes to class it as mild. Arrived yesterday and tried it as soon as I could and it gave a real good smooth shave and felt great in the hand. The only issue I had was when going against the grain, I accidently moved it sideways on my chin whilst turning it around and caused quite a nick. I am assuming that this is a trait of the more aggressive razors that show more blade?? Apart from that, it was really good but I think I need to be a little more careful in the future. Great videos as well :)

[@kevyshaves4109]

Cheers Kev. Yes, slant razors can be a bit more aggressive. You just need to remember to use them like you would a normal razor. Great to hear you're enjoying shaving this way. All the best. Kevy 🙂

[@goldensteeltv8546]

Great shave. I love the beautfiful design of the slant razor. I'll have to admit that every time I take a look at a brand new razor, I get wooed by the razor's design

[@kevyshaves4109]

I agree. I love slant razors and this one has a nice modern feel whilst still staying true to the traditional slant razors. Kevy 😀

[@sherabnamdhak6485]

I’ve got to the stage where I have more skin than hair up top, I use the R41 and now shave not only the beard but also the head. So far not one nick. The Alum stone is a god send. Watching this on my iPad at Troon beach as my wife is of with har pals wild swimming.

[@mikerose51]

Sherab Namdhak believe it or not when I got into Traditional WetShaving 11 months ago I started off with a Shavette then shortly afterward, i choose myself a safety razor....yup I picked the R-41! Great razor . A definite 2 pass BBS with pick-ups. I started “Riding The Cap” meaning a steeper angle of attack and you will get the best Shaves of your life! Too bad I traded it for a 1964 Gillette Slim Adjustable... which is my favorite razor right now but at the time I couldn’t afford another razor so I had to trade but I will buy it again Mark my words!!!

[@TheCrash212]

Great shave, Kevy. I've been thinking about getting that razor, my first and only slant is a RazoRock German 37 which shaves great as long as I don't over do it. I use a pre-shave oil/balm before each pass: 1st - whole face, 2nd , 3rd & pick up on my neck trouble spots only. It works for me to help with irritation. Have a great and safe weekend!

[@kevyshaves4109]

I don't think the slant on this Parker razor is as extreme as the RazoRock German slant so you might find it a little milder. I think the oil helped with the slickness. I'll try it again sometime. Cheers. Kevy 😀

[@ktheodor3968]

Great video in all. Excellent, close shots of this slant by parker. (Got to give it to you, yourself & the friendship shaver do about the best close shots of brand new razors in your videos!) I like that slant v. much. I think I like it more than E.Jagger's 316 new razor. The thing is though that UK/Europe never get brand new razors (other than UK-made ones, of course) as quickly as the States. That website you mentioned sent you this razor is based in the US -- if not mistaken. Unrealistic costs to have this new parker shipped to the UK. I love your dog! I've got dogs myself -- love them. I love all animals. Thanks for uploading.

[@kevyshaves4109]

Thanks. I like to show the razors up close. It's how I'd like to see them in a video review. You shouldn't have too long to wait u til this razor is available in the U.K. I'll try to find out when that will be. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍

[@mannyvaldez7136]

Great shave as usual, Kevy. You should include Riley in your videos more often. That was quite enjoyable to watch. That was also a nice touch showing the Cadbury. I love chocolates and now I am dying to try that particular Cadbury if they have it in New York. 💈💈💈🍫🍫🍫🖖🏼🖖🏼🖖🏼

Thanks Manny. I hope you manage to score some of that chocolate in NY. It is very tasty! 🤤😀👍

[@talega1]

The preshave oils seem to me like a huge scam. They sell them for an arm and a leg, and it's usually a mix of really cheap oils you can buy at the supermarket..... I have tried a lot of them and cannot tell any difference. The other day tried coconut oil....let it soak and then lathered on top....had probably one of the worst shaves (lots of irritation). Well we all use whatever we want to try and however we feel like it.... very nice video..... for some reason I try to stay away from products from China and India.....irrespective of their cost savings..... Cheers and have a nice weekend

[@kevyshaves4109]

Some of the pre shave shave oils are very cheap, but I get what you're saying. I've heard others say coconut oil is great as a post shave. I like to spread my buying of shave gear all over the world. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍

[@willr7849]

I avoid pre shave oil, some people use it before they get in the shower, by having oil on your facial hair you are making it so the hair will not soak up water and not soften up as much. No oils for me preshave

[@minty1422]

Love Riley, Love chocolate, Lo.... Great shave Kevy!

[@kahvac]

Loved the review so much I subbed ! Nice to see a shaving video that mixes things up a bit and definitely light hearted. I was wondering if Parker made a straight regular razor like this long handle but without the slant ? I'm looking for an aggressive razor as my beard is like barbed wire.. I'm thinking I don't want to have to negotiate a slant head and a regular head might be more to my liking as long as it is aggressive enough. I might be wrong about the slant head.... Thanks in advance !

The slant is a little more efficient. Because it's slanted slightly, it cuts the whiskers at an angle making it a little bit more efficient than a straight bar razor. Kevy 👍

[@nabeelkhan4770]

Hey Kevy great demonstration! What do you think about having this razor for shaving every other day (there are times are shave more often). Compared to the parker 99r how would you say this is for someone with sensitive skin and medium to more coarse hair? How's it on the my mustache area as that tends to be a little bit of my challenging area, hence sometimes I end up keeping a mustache sometimes haha. I use derby blades and have especially coarse hair on my mustache area so I want to know if this would be a good alternative to parker 99r. I use the variant most of the time but sometimes I don't always want to use an adjustable because I don't want to always have the need to use an adjustable, I will still use my parker variant for sure though as it is a great razor, again I don't want to just always use the variant.

Something weird is going on with the KZbin comment section. Originally, I made a comment which somehow separated into about 5 or 6 split versions of itself. When I noticed this I made a apology comment so that you'd know I was not spamming or trolling the section and it too malfunctioned. I deleted twice and still a version of it remains. So sorry, if you're seeing multiples or skips of this comment too. The original comment seems to have evaporated so here is what I originally wrote. #1. In the US Semi is pronounced the same as in the UK. The exception is when referring to Big Trucks, Big Rigs, Tractor Trailers and Transfer Trunks(all of which are used interchangeably) but depending on where you live Semi pronounced as Sim:My is often heard. #2. Cadbury is very well known in the States. From late Jan or mid February the Cadbury Easter Bunny commercial airs on TV right up to Easter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmLHooaZeqtnlac #3. In my opinion, it is the length of your strokes which contribute to the weepers. You tend to take long rapid strokes but it is not the speed which is the culprit. I think your control over the razor is slightly diminished by the long strokes but, of course, I could be dead wrong. ;-)

This razor is truly crap, great build quality tho but shaves like a potato. this is probably the reason why Parker is selling these razors by the cheap on Amazon (bought mine for $25) The finish of this razor is truly extraordinary, almost perfect like my Rockwell razor. No matter which shaving soap, creams and blades you use this razor just doesnt cut it literally. I need to do 20 passes and still skips hairs, my Merkur 38c barberpole needs one pass and my cheeks are soft as a baby's bum.

I am aware some think it is that you go too fast(which could indeed by a factor)but I think it is length of the strokes that is the culprit. School's out. Summer vacation resume.... :P
