Lots of recommendations for the Merkur 34C or the Edwin Jagger DE 89, but I rarely see the Parker 97R mentioned. I like it a lot. Just a little more efficient and aggressive than the Merkur 34C or the EJ DE 89, brass handle, zamak head nicely chromed with a no slip handle, I like it better than either one of the others. I have more expensive razors, but it's surprising how often I go back to this. I get more blade feel than my Henson milds, or my Winning Razor and sometimes I crave this. My Merica razor is just a shade too aggressive for my taste. I lean toward milder razors.
I just saw the the Parker 97R for $19.99 at knifecenter.com. Great deal. I paid $30 on Amazon, and I feel like it was worth every penny.
So the next time the new guy wants a recommendation, or you're just in the mood for something new, or a travel razor, consider the Parker 97R. And no, I do not work for Parker, lol.
