Parker 60R DE Safety Razor (Butterfly Mechanism)

Product Review (submitted on 28 May 2020):

An excellent beginner’s DE razor. Well balanced with a long handle for those of us with big hands. It is sturdily built and well-engineered. The grip is good enough, even when your hands are wet and soapy. The two minor negative points are: 1. The difficulty of keeping it clean, an old toothbrush allows you to give it a good scrub to keep it shiny and bright, but this is an issue common to all butterfly mechanisms. 2. The mechanism of the butterfly razor can also loosen during a shave and occasionally requires tightening. This is just annoying rather than problematic. Given its price, it is great value for those who want to start DE shaving on a budget. I used it six days a week for four months and it gave a great shave every day. I would highly recommend it as a good entry-level introduction to DE shaving.
