Parker Semi Slant Razor Graphite

Product Review (submitted on 11 September 2019):

This razor is a revelation! Of course, if you are sufficiently skilled to hold your ordinary DE razor at a precise angle to the direction of shave you don't need it, but I'm not that good. It has taken under a week to achieve the perfect 3-pass shave with this beautifully constructed tool paired with Dorco 301 blades. I have a tough old beard which grows in all directions but this combo removes it all, daily, with zero discomfort.

You may miss the feedback as, when used very lightly (it's not a heavy razor) and with slow long strokes, I can hardly feel it. I guess that's because of the 'slicing' rather than 'chopping' action that the slant imparts. One word of caution, though, do remember to tighten the razor head after rinsing - I didn't on one occasion and redecorated the bathroom red!
