Contacting Parker

[TheBigO]

I only have one razor at the moment (and I expect to only have 2-3 at most at any given time) and that's the Parker 90R

It is an alright razor that I bought in a tough spot. Definitely overpaid for it, but the problem is, it doesn't load blades evenly. I'm guessing its not the entire line of razors that has this issue, just my particular one.

I would return it to the place I bought it from, but they don't do returns or exchanges (*sigh*) and so I was wondering if any of you knew how I could contact Parker and possibly get a replacement?

I intend to eventually replace it with a Merkur HD, 38, or 39C (have yet to decide), but being a college student, whimsical spending isn't an option. It would be nice to have a even loading razor though

You will find that you are not alone in quality issues with Parker Razors. I seem to be one the luckier people though because I got a 96r and have been quite happy with it and feel that it is an alright razor **for the money** I paid for it. The above web address is the closest thing I could find when researching the company. Good luck

I have a 91r that also has a slight difference in blade exposure from one side to the next. It's not much, but it prevents me from using each side interchangeably. The best way I've been able to make it work for me is if I use the side of lesser exposure for the first WTG pass, and use the second side with greater exposure for XTG/ATG. The difference is very slight.

I've since moved on to old gillettes, so this isn't an issue for me anymore, fwiw. Good luck.

TheBigO,

If it is a major problem contact them through the link Osborn gave you. If you bought it here in the US, contact your salesman. I guarantee you will get a replacement if it is within buying time. If you bought in amazon or ebay, you are currently buying them at the right price.

Take care and hope its fixed!

Thanks guys, I just shot them an email.

I got it from a local distributer for $35. They don't do returns or exchanges *sigh*

Well,

Looks Like you got ripped off $7 dollars... Prices range, maximum at $28.00 for those. Let them know, this should be fixed at that price.

Take care,

Dark
