I noticed your post on this and the 22R.
Parkers are ok, but people seem to have a hit or miss issue with quality control.
Some guys have good luck, others have had issues.
Have you looked on the BST for a razor? There are a lot of very good deals to be had, whether it's a Merkur or aVintage Gillette etc.
In my opinion, your better off going with something that has a higher level of quality control than the Parker, but to each his own.
