26C

I was eagerly awaiting this exotic piece, or it's totally chrome 24c brother.

When I got it, I was impressed. However, when I unscrewed it, it immediately felt wrong. And it was - threadpost was not totally covered with chrome, and it also looked like it's corroding. Whe contacting the vendor for a replacement head, they said all Parker open-comb stock chrome coating is scratched, and even the best looking head was really not looking good. The chrome on the head and on the handle is really not the same, and in both cases sub-par, no matter the price.

This was my first open comb experience and a good one it was! Once the proper angle was found, the parker was as efficient as a lawnmower plowing through dry grass. The handle was easy to grip and the balance seemed spot on. I was extremely pleased with this product and look forward to many more nice shaves,

If blade angle isn't right, then you will feel some scratching. But on my 3rd shave with this I found the magic angle and I got one of my closest shaves ever!
I had to keep checking the spots I just shaved to make sure I was actually cutting hair!
so smooth and close with the right technique!
