What do you guys think of parker brushes?

I didn't care for the one I owned. It shed like a dog and was floppy. Maybe I got a dud.

Only owned one, a very large one in pure badger. Sold it on the bay quickly. It was like lathering with a porcupine.
Both of these comments echo my experience.
Bought a pure badger in the black and chrome handle cuz it looked good, turns out it was too floppy to lather on face or in a bowl. This is where I decided I liked a brush with lots of backbone
These days it's relegated to my Clubman powder duster

Keyboard duster!
Although I have never used one, based on other people feedback I strongly believe there are better options.
+1 too floppy for me, great for my laptop cleaning the dust off the keyboards
+1 My Parker was my first paint brush. I still have it to remind me of my humble beginnings.
Better options indeed. I don't recall what I paid for it, at least $20 not really knowing anything about brushes and thinking it was this or $200 for a Simpson chubby.
Then comes Stirling with a $30 finest badger that's amazing!

really it was to floppy i thought parker was a good brand.
I'm not knocking Parker, I've heard the Variant was a success. BUT it seems to me that Parker markets to the "new and uninformed" with stylizing and flash. I also had the 99R TTO and was ok with it.....until I got my EJ DE89 followed shortly by a vintage Gillette Slim....that 99R quickly went to a "friend" lol

not aggressive enough or just not your type of razor?
Yeah both. Flashy but ineffective. For some reason I feel like all TTO razors should be adjustable. I know that's crazy.
Also it had a really long handle which I discovered I don't care for.

i hear good things about black badger parker brushes i guess those have good backbone i might have to try one i like brushes for my coarse beard like pure or black etc
If you want backbone I highly recommend Stirling 26mm finest badger. Not scritchy at all but wonderful backbone and a great price. In fact worth it at twice the price.
My experience is Parker brushes (pure badger in particular) are a floppy mess as was mentioned earlier.
Look for Maseto brushes on fleabay. Great value for money and many options available.
