I treated myself to a new Parker Variant during a black Friday sale. Received it yesterday and I'm ready to try it out with a Wilkinson Sword blade. It's a nice looking brush, but the head is much larger than expected. I've been using a '62 Gillette Slim and compared to the Variant the Slim looks sleek and beautiful. Now for performance, I'll know soon enough. It gets good reviews so I'm expecting it to perform. I'm wondering if the head is about the same size as a Fatboy? From the pictures I've seen it seems to resemble it.
