Hi all!!
I received another tool in the mail yesterday.
A new, yes new, Parker injector razor.
Not only new, but it's adjustable too.
I saw this and just couldn't pass on it.
It took 3 days to get it from my post office to my house.
This was due to an excessive amount of rain drops hurling themselves from the sky.
Of course all these rain drops headed to the places designed for them to run harmlessly away.
Well, there were so many rain drops, we had rain drop stampedes over roads and bridges, all over the county.
My mail carrier doesn't drive through stampeding rain drops, I don't blame him.
They can be merciless.
Anyway.....
Getting home early this morning, I opened it up first thing.

I didn't use the blades that were supplied with it.
I loaded it with a Schick B-20 blade.
I like B-20's in my injector razors.
The adjustment is numbered 1 to 5.
There are no clicks or indents, the dial runs smoothly from 1 through 5.
Not overly tight or loose it should stay where set.
I see no issues setting and adjusting it.
The knob stays set and is easily returned to your liking if you move it for cleaning and stuff.
The handel is one piece of sturdy metal with the hard plastic grip securely set in the metal handle.
The safety bar and adjustment mechanism looks like it is made from quality material and with care should last a long time.

Like my Pal adjustable it feels good in the hand with a nice grip.
1 for mild and 5 for the most aggressive shave the razor will offer , I used 5.
As with most injector razors this is not an aggressive tool, even on 5.
I ran a 2 pass shave with no fear of nicks or cuts.
A clean shave was had and I am satisfied with it.
It clogs easily, but that's the nature of injectors, that doesn't take away anything from it.
The verdict.
Well if you tend to lean towards a more mild mannered razor and like injectors.
I wouldn't hesitate to suggest getting one.
It seems built well and at $35, is about the same price as a good vintage PAL adjustable, if you can find one.
Enjoy
