To start, I own a Merkur 1904( mild and can be used by men and women in all areas safely,great razor), a (Shone gold color razor which is moderately aggressive, beautiful and shaves very close), a (Weishi Long handle butterfly, good fit & finish with mild to medium aggressiveness, very good shave quality). So, these are some very high quality razors that I compare this 22R to. I probably do not NEED another DE razor. Many of us get into this to save money and break the insane prices paid for multi plastic disposable razors then enjoy the so called wet shaving experience so much that we buy multiple razors which does allow us to rotate them and get just the right amount of razor aggressiveness needed for any particular shave. I.E. after a shave with a Shone or Fatip, a non aggressive Merker 1904 may be the best tool for sensitive skin. After reading many reviews on Parker’s and this 22 R in particular, I was very reluctant to spend money on a Parker and the 22 R did not get as close to 5 stars as many other comparable razors. Reviews with details like,” the razor head closes crooked, or the finish is peeling off, or showed up defective” definitely deterred me. What kept me reading, including watching youtube reviews, was the unusual style and good looks of the razor in pictures and the many very favorable rants by users. The 22R arrived in my mail box last night and I was thrilled at the shiny gun metal finish and substantial weight and feel of this razor. I used it right away and was pleasantly surprised at the way it shaved. I use Astra SP’s, Voskods and Personna’s and really appreciate these brands. With a Personna blade, this 22R for me performed with a tad more aggression than my Weishi and noticeably less than my Shone. Unlike many reviewer findings, I found the very attractive handle has an effective textured grip, perfect handle length for me and shaved very close. If you shave fast and reckless with this razor, it will draw some blood but I found it to perform flawlessly and I would not hesitate to use this as my only razor. I, like many shavers ,love the craftsmanship and the different performance aspects of a variety of razors. I would recommend this razor to new DE razor users and veterans as well. This is a TTO razor and like any butterfly, special attention must be paid to ensure that it is locked closed while shaving. It’s my only brass razor and has just the right amount of heft, not too heavy and not too lite. Do not expect a lesser finish than the competition, this is a beautiful razor, even at close, critical inspection. I love mine. I will update this review if I have any negative issues and down the road, I will update as well...

Good razor for daily shaving. Stylish gun metal looks good and it is a good weight. It is a daily/regular shaver for me. It doesn't clog easily and the handle is long enough to grip well. This was my first razor and it is not too aggressive, but gets the hair without multiple passes if i need it to. I use the Parker 100 pack blades also and they are good value and very sharp.
