SPECIAL PRICE: Parker 91R Safety Razor

I’m quite picky with some purchases I make and after a lot of humming and hawing decided on this. It’s different than my Muhle R89 and a review I stumbled across on Shavenation.com helped this decision. Great service from La Barbiera too.

La barberia is my go to shaving supplies provider. They have a wide range of items, always competitively priced and delivered quickly.

I have always electric shaved and only recently started wet shaving. I am finding my way with DE razors. I am pleased with my purchase. For the price, quality and service the razor is good but I found the razor to be too aggressive for my shaving skills at present. I have a tough beard and cannot get a close shave with a mild razor but end up cutting myself with an aggressive razor. I have purchased an adjustable razor which seems to be perfect for me at present.

My advice to anybody starting shaving would be not to buy this razor. But I am not really somebody to give advice. As my skills improve the 91R might be my perfect razor

It is a very aggressive razor. Good shave when used with the grain. Be very careful when shaving against.
It is very well balanced and the handle has a very good grip. No risk of slipping with wet hands.
Finish is ok.
It is not for rookies.

I needed a second razor and this was a great option, especially for the price. Not sure how it works exactly (more blade exposed, different angle), but it’s definitely more aggressive than my Merkur. Well recommended but just be careful, especially when using it for the first time. Let the weight of the razor do the work as much as possible.
