Parker 98R Safety Razor

Email Print PDF

Two years ago I tested the Parker 91R and gave it a less-than-favorable review. The obvious flaws in craftsmanship led me to steer clear of Parker razors for a while. Despite my negative comments, Parker has continued to gain in popularity among shavers, particularly those looking for affordable alternatives to German-made safety razors. I’m open-minded and I don’t carry a grudge; I’m giving Parker another chance.

Feather All Stainless Razor

Email Print PDF

The new Feather All Stainless safety razor is probably the most beautifully crafted razor I have ever seen.

Email Print PDF

The Merkur Progress adjustable razor has gained a very devoted following since it came on the market. There are many reasons to like the razor as it boasts a good weight, finished construction, a two-piece design, and easy loading system and for the most part great shaving results. However, where the Progress stops short, the Mergress, its customized version, steps in to make this razor one of the best on the market.
