It's a good razor, reminds me of those Merkurs. It's a tad more aggressive, though, which is a good thing
I have the 91R, which is for me anyway, a shaver's dream, and of course, 2 versions of the 22R, which I think are fantastic.
Prep Pre-shave Hot towel Prep Pre-shave KIN 079J - fantastic!! TSD Lemongrass Sage SC - Excellent Thanks JoAnna!! Gillette O-3 Slim Adj w/ Dorco 300 - day 2 Thayer's Lemon Witch Hazel [w/ menthol ] Tryphon Mentolo ASB Pinaud Citrus Musk cologne
I have the 22r but am NOT impressed at all. Very thin material, easy to bend, the blade is twisted at all four corners. For 5$ this would be an OKAY razor, but for ~20... no way I'll buy one like that again.

Friday AM Hot shower Proraso Pre-Post at beginning of shower Gillette Advanced Hydrating cream rubbed in as pre-shave during shower SR 3330 ebony Derby Samurai 3 cartridge and razor Noxema cream + C&E Sandalwood cream WWR Proraso A/S splash CWR QED Patchouli/Tea Tree/Peppermint balm + C&E Sandalwood balm + Mama Bear's Lemongrass/Menthol milk Trumper's Sandalwood cologne Yikes. Tried out the Derby Samurai 3 cartridge razor and blade. $3.99 for a handle and 5-pack of blades. First shave == not good. At all. I did manage to achieve a BBS shave, but my neck is on fire worse than it's been in a long time. Going to give it a few more attempts and try another cartridge or two to give it a fair run... but initial impressions are not positive. Still... hope remains. I figured since Derby DE blades are so great (my favorite DE blade) then maybe those same blade designs are used in the cartridge versions? We shall see.

Saturday: Omega Silvertip Parker 91R/new Sharp Italian Palmolive Menthol S/C Lubriderm unscented moisturizer Mennen Skin Bracer Original A/S a brrrrrr cold and beautiful shave this morning. Now, I'll go get a haircut, and let my barber eat his heart out for not being able to shave me! :happy102 :happy102
ahahaha thats just COLD ! Boubi, you should have let him shave you.. come on give the guy a break.. he wont be able to do it for long when you move to NY.
Didnt know you had a 71R .. freaky ! yes I like its agressive aswell. out of the 3 modells the best shaver sofar is the 89R followed closely by the 91R they might be equal its just I shaved more with the 89R then the 91R. currently 91R is all I use. I like the longer handles and the increased weight. my Gillette Aristocrat silver is retired for the moment.
SATURDAY: Parker 22R Wilkinson Economie blade day 3 50-bock Acca Kappa SS Swiss Pitralon Provence Sante ASB @Rene: Yeah, I got a 22R and a 71R this week. The 22R is... cheap, as I mentioned before, it shaves okay, but is only worth 5$ IMHO. Very bad build quality. The 71R is great, I like the weight, the handle, everything. But, still, the build-quality lacks. The screw thread wasn't drilled exactly in the center, the head is not of the same quality as the Merkurs are. For the ~13€ I paid it's a good, rock-solid razor, but it's not worth much more, IMHO. Parker really has to work on their QA...
Danke Klaus ich wurde es Parker sagen. about the screw thread ! jeees I didnt even look myself.the 71R is the lightest of all 3... The 22R V1 i'd say I agree not with V2 which is a better improvement the only thing I dont like so much with V2 is the head design the handle is a cool gun metal. I have a feeling you have a V1. Your comments help alot just so you know ! the 71R wouldnt have been the way it is unless you commented on it. so this will be taken dead serious .
Special Best TGQ Creme De Campagne cream Fat Boy w/ Astra Superior Humphreys Witch Hazel Ahava ASB Jil Sander Sport EDT Have a great day!
lolllllllllll how can I deprive myself of the pleasure of shaving myself in the morning? This guy shaves customers every day, but uses hot foam from a machine. Barbers are not allowed to use brushes on customers in their shops any more. Besides, you know me, Boubi, I love a good booford shave every morning !
