So i just talked to Parker manufacturer here in Delhi if they can sell me one Parker , at first they refused that their products are sold only outside India but after requesting he agreed to sell me a Parker but unfortunately they were busy till 18th Nov 2012 so i had to wait BUT SUDDENLY JUST 2RHS AGO I ASKED A GENERAL STORE IN MY LOCALITY IF THEY HAVE AND SAFETY RAZOR AND HE GAVE THIS PARKER AND I WAS LIKE but the time i opened the case it was a three piece razor , from what i know Parker 95R was TTO but i saw the nicely build razor and had no doubt that it is Fake so i took it. Before this i only had Gillette Sterling which is the only metal (Half metal Half plastic) safety razor that you can get in India. I asked the shopkeeper can he arrange Parker 22R for me and he was like what 22R means ....ahhhh then i explained the one with butterfly door , he replied I CAN'T ASSURE YOU BUT I WILL ASK THE COMPANY IF THEY HAD ANY RAZOR WITH OPENS WITH TWO DOORS BY TWISTING THE HANDLE.......GEEEZZZ HE DIDN'T EVEN KNEW THE NAME TTO , I HAVE TO VISIT HIM NEXT MONDAY TO CONFIRM IF HE CAN GET ME A PARKER TTO OR NOT. As mentioned by many users Parkers are aggressive but this one is mild and i don't even faced any blade alignment issues.

why so is their rivalry going on? anyways previously i was unable to figure out how to upload Images here so apologies for that and here are the images
TTO is unfortunately "forum speak". Most manufacturers (and people) refer to TTO's as butterfly opening type razors, or words to that effect. Welcome to the Den!
First time I've ever seen one, but I do like the way it looks!! Can't wait to hear how it shaves. Pity its not available on one of the sites that sell razors.
Not a rivalry thing, more of a I don't have an account there anymore thing and don't really want to create one just to see pics.
I am not talking about superiority or anything like that but i joined B&B because of many members there but i like TSD now as i get more replies here instead of less members and yes site layout is awesome specially the alert thing as a programmer myself hats off to the Developer. But still m gonna stick to both the sites.
The developers would be xenforo. And I agree As for the B&B thing, we have some members that belong to both forums. That wasn't the reason for my initial post in this thread. The reason was; if we can't see the pics, we can't help.
Ok first it falls in mid of mild and aggressive razor but the most important thing that i liked about this is that the blade distance from comb is perfect you can shave half of one side of your face without rinsing.Another good thing is that it bends the blade like Merkur progress (many don't like this because somewhere its said that it makes hard to maintain blade angle but i don't agree as for the first time i haven't nicked myself using this razor NOTE- Shaving with DE form 1 Months,previously i always used to nick myself a bit maybe bacuause Sterling Clogs alot)
