I don't have a 24/26C yet, but contrary to the belief of many, I highly doubt the head is also brass. Its mentioned in many online reviews that Parker razors come with a brass "frame" - I believe this means a brass handle. You would think Parker would be more transparent with their resellers if their razor was totally brass, which would be a major selling point. I could be wrong.
@ srhardy - Thanks Mate. I appreciate the comparison. It gives me a better idea of what to expect. I have come across other threads and online reviews stating that the Parker 24/26C has exceptional chrome finishing. Have you given the Parker an 8 for quality based on the fact that it has a brass handle, or is this based on quality finishing? How does the chrome finishing compare on your Muhle to your Parker 26C? Its always useful to know what existing owners think of its quality and how it compares to their other razors.
