Parker Razor Question

I just picked one up on Amazon. The blade gap is off, but the handle is gorgeous. The company is sending me a new head.

Pros: Striking design, heavy, 4 inch long textured handle.

Price: 9
Quality: 9
User Friendly: 9
Grip: 10
Ease of Blade Replacement: 10
Aggressiveness: 8
Adjustability: 1
Balance: 10

Price: I ordered the 65r through Wish4Blades on Amazon.ca for $32.95 Canadian. Excellent price considering I didn't pay tax or shipping charges and the dealer sent 20 Shark blades along.

Quality: I know other, older reviews, mention quality issues but I can't find a flaw and I've been looking. The plating looks good, no flaws, not tarnished or anything like that. The blade gap is even on both sides and it tightens nicely.

User Friendly: The 65r is a three piece design with a 4" handle. Friendly enough.

Grip: The textured handle feels great in the hand and doesn't seem likely to slip from my grasp while shaving.

Ease of Blade Replacement: It is what it is: three piece design. I have use of all my fingers and find the blade replacement easy.

Aggressiveness: BIG blade gap. It was a lot more aggressive then what I had read in other reviews, perhaps Parker changed the design of the head? I would say it is as aggressive as my G Bar, maybe a little more, with plenty of audio feedback as slices off whiskers.

Balance: The handle on this razor is long and heavy, excellent in the hand.

I ordered this razor for the looks but overall I really like the Parker 65r and look forward to finding the perfect blade for it.

Thank you for the review. I was thinking of ordering one of these, but not sure about the blade gap. Sounds a bit aggressive.
