This is an invitation to Home • Parker Shaving - https://www.parkershaving.com/ to produce a short handle version of Parker Variant.
At last I owned a Variant Rose Gold. Today, I shaved for the first time. Here are my perceptions;
- Longer handle compared to short Progress is not for my. I prefer shorter handles. YMMV. But I get use to it fast. If I have the short handle Variant I will buy for sure. Before explaining the reason of this poll I'll continue to my preliminary impressions on Variant.
- The handle is not slippery and rose gold version is eye cathing. The color preference is subjectif so I respect all other color choice.
- During the first shave I try to put my fingers on the right spots to hold the handle properly. I am long time short handle progress user and I prefer the short handles. After a few try I manage to find right spots. But If I have the choice among short and long handles of Variant I will definetly pick the short one.
- The shaving feels is very close to Progress. I tried with various settings ; 1 - 1,5 - 2 - 3 - 3,5 - 4 - 5 . The settings 2,5 to 3,5 are my sweet spot. After two pass with my most familiar blade GP(1) I liked very much.
Now, my question is as follows; If Parker decide to produce a "Short Handle Variant" will you buy it ??? My answer is a YESSSSS and what is yours?
