I have a 22R and it's reviewed in the review section along with a couple of other Parkers. I like the razor a lot. It takes some care to set the blade right and care in shaving due to the very large blade gap. The upside is a very close shave. I consider this razor to be quite aggressive and treat it with the same respect I give a slant - this is no Krona. For about the same money as a first razor, I would suggest a used Gillette adjustable (slim or black handle) on BST. If you already have a couple of razors, the Parker is a good bet IMO.
