Inexpensive DE razors for travel

[Medivh]

Have you made a decision yet, just curious? Is weight a consideration, as aluminum would be nice and light?

Razors in general are quite light and I've never considered the weight of a razor as an issue if I travel somewhere. I will probably buy the Parker 78R along with a Lord 6, a couple of Yumas and a Gillette Super Blue too. They are all quite inexpensive and relatively reliable.

I need to test them all to see which ones can suit me better for everyday shave and which ones for once in a while. I can also take only the heads of the 4 razors with me with only one handle and since the handle of the Parker seems to be way better compared to the others. I wouldn't have to worry about getting an extra handle or use some of my handles.

Sorry, I meant this one:

I just got one of those last week. I put a Polsilver blade in it and had a nifty little shave with it.

The new Parker 78R has a very interesting head design and it's also quiet affordable and also a good candidate for a travel razor.

The 78R is an impressive razor, especially for the price!

Efficiency is good, around medium, with no blade chatter, making it smooth and comfortable.
