What's new

3 piece Parker 95R.Finally got it

So i just talked to Parker manufacturer here in Delhi if they can sell me one Parker , at first they refused that their products are sold only outside India but after requesting he agreed to sell me a Parker but unfortunately they were busy till 18th Nov 2012 so i had to wait BUT SUDDENLY JUST 2RHS AGO I ASKED A GENERAL STORE IN MY LOCALITY IF THEY HAVE AND SAFETY RAZOR AND HE GAVE THIS PARKER AND I WAS LIKE :001_tt1: but the time i opened the case it was a three piece razor :001_wub:, from what i know Parker 95R was TTO but i saw the nicely build razor and had no doubt that it is Fake so i took it.
Before this i only had Gillette Sterling which is the only metal (Half metal Half plastic) safety razor that you can get in India

I asked the shopkeeper can he arrange Parker 22R for me and he was like what 22R means ....ahhhh then i explained the one with butterfly door , he replied I CAN'T ASSURE YOU BUT I WILL ASK THE COMPANY IF THEY HAD ANY RAZOR WHICH OPENS WITH TWO DOORS BY TWISTING THE HANDLE.......GEEEZZZ HE DIDN'T EVEN KNEW THE NAME TTO , I HAVE TO VISIT HIM NEXT MONDAY TO CONFIRM IF HE CAN GET ME A PARKER TTO OR NOT.

Posting Images below give your advice what head does it have is it the 91R's head or something different ?

As mentioned by many users Parkers are aggressive but this one is mild and i don't even faced any blade alignment issues.

If it was purchased from a small local general store, and based on the box pictured, I suspect this item is NOS that has been laying in storage for awhile.
 
That's a different head to any Parker I've seen. Is it new old stock?
I don't know exactly but the box was dusty at the shop and according to shopkeeper the one with designed head is limited edition :001_cool: the actual 3 piece 95R dont have that design rest things are same , but i have seen a three piece 95R for the first time and i took no time to buy one (and also because Parkers in India or any Safety razor for that matter are hard to get ....in other words impossible to get because the company produces only for export :cursing: and there is no market for DE in India anymore)
But still i will confirm about the stock as i have to visit that shop again.I will let you know
