Good morning everyone
The Parker 55SL Semi-Slant Razor.
Tried out my new slant, me likes it, here's my opinion of it. Remember this is only the first time I have used it.
First, the handle is fatter than most but not overly heavy, the pattern is such that grip is very good to excellent. Loaded it with a new Feather blade expecting to use two blades for the morning work. Well the first pass went well and seeing as one report said it was a milder shaver, it may be, but it still holds its own when put to the test. Now "most" torqued slants give me just a tad more life out of a blade, even though this is just a small twist, it seemed to do just that. I used the same blade for the 2cd pass and other than a small tugging at the very end around the chin, it was good. The head shave was as good a normal too.
I am clean as usual, with no issues.
Now this is my first shave with the razor, but it won't be the last.
I will say it doesn't have the blade feel or loud report some of the other tools that I use have.
So for a venture into the slant razor realm, the price is good, the quality is great. The only thing is if you like a light razor, say a bakelite, this razor is on the heavy side.
