I want a new razor and I was looking at some butterfly or TTO's and was wondering how the Parker 22R is? I'd love to get a Merkur vision (saw one being made on a episode of How it's made) and saw the price and was like never mind lol
How's the Parker 22r?

Get an old Gillette Super Speed instead - much better built for about the same cost.

I found a Cadet Sante Fe TTO-11 on bullgoose for a decent price.
How are they in terms of quality?
Anyone else know where I can find a Gillette super speed?

Sorry to double post but I just bought a vintage Gillette flare tip super speed on ebay.
You shouldnt be disapointed with the SS. They shave fantasticaly.

Thanks I'm looking forward to using it when It gets here.
It will be paired with some Feather hi SS.

Good choice. I've not heard too much good about Parker's QC and reliability. I have two SSs that provide a fantastic shave. I'm using the green Proraso soap in the tub - great combo with the Super Speed.

I haven't made the plunge yet with shave soaps and brushes but pretty soon though.
I recently got a Cadet TTO. It's what you would expect from a vintage TTO shave with the longer handle and extra heft. It's also new and inexpensive. A win win situation.
