Just received my Parker Variant Black Handle in the mail from WCS and I found some issues right off the bat and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced the same.
1. Handle (barrel) crooked. Not pointed at 90 degree angle. The barrel itself is straight but its crooked from where its connected to the head. When I first opened the box, I held the razor in my hand and looked at it from the point of view that looks like a "T" and the barrel was pointed maybe 3 degrees to the right. I know it's only 3 degrees but I could totally tell it was crooked right away.
2. From settings 1.5 to 4.5, top cap is not level. Again when looking at the razor from the "T" view, the side of the head where it doesn't have the alignment marks seems to "lag" when adjusting numbers. So if I'm at setting 1, then start to turn the adjustment knob to the higher settings, the side where it has the alignment marks has moved up way higher than the other side. This is again viewing it from the "T" POV.
Hopefully I explained this well enough so you guys have a good idea of what's wrong with this Variant and maybe others who have had the same issues. I'm thinking of returning it back to WCS for a new one.
Thanks guys.
