    Hi Mark, I used this razor for quite sometime. Yes, the finish on the head is not up to par as mine has developed a few marks and scratches over time. That said, it’s actually one of my best shaving DE razors that I own, and I have owned and used many DE razors over the years. It can nick ya if you’re not mindful, but that goes the same for any safety razor. Just to veer off topic, have you ever considered using a straight razor or even a shavette?
    I understand most people don’t want to get involved with the added expense & maintenance, like stropping, honing, extra care required, ect. I admit these reasons kept me from dabbling into the straight razor world.
    However I discovered a whole new world of shaving once I got started.

    Hello Mark. I have one just like yours. I use it for about almost two years on my wetshave youtube channel. I only use Parker razors and never happened with me having marks on mine. And i don´t use M5 plastic washers. Mine is called Missis Slant. She is one of the stars with the famous Parker Variant. Mine is called Vallerie. I give names to all of my razors. The secret is don´t tight to much. You don´t really need to. Just tight enough but don´t over tight. It is harder to take the blade out later to clean.

    Hey Mark. I put the plastic washer on all of my razors. I did the same thing on my Parker Slant when I bought it. I also polished the head and not only looks better but I feel it is smoother. It can give you a BBS shave with very little effort. It’s in my regular razor rotation.
    Nice shave and commentary today. Enjoy your 4th of July weekend.

    Hi Mark- Great shave and razor review; thank you! The Parker Semi-Slant seems like a very efficient razor. My first and only slant was a Merkur 37C, which I eventually PIF’d to a fellow wet-shaver, but have recently been considering adding one back into my rotation. This could definitely be one think about. I hope you have a great 4th of July weekend ahead. 🇺🇸! Be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Mark!

    Hello Mark, this is such a beautiful razor 😍. But I still thinking wether I should buy this razor since I have sensitive skin. I heard slant bar are more aggressive but since in this video u mention that it's mild, is it as mild as Merkur 34C?

    • @MarkSzorady
      @MarkSzorady  2 роки тому +2

      Imran, the Parker Semi-Slant has a bit more aggression than the 34C and more blade feel. it's smooth, but it's a notch or so above the 34C.
      If you want a slant comparable to the mild quality of the 34C, I recommend the iKon X3. As one reviewer stated that you'd be hard-pressed to nick yourself with this razor.
      My review: ua-cam.com/video/Zn3zDeHBNkU/v-deo.html
      The X3 is mild, smooth, efficient, and, best of all, it's a slant.

      Joe, I had two days worth of beard growth. I really wanted to give the razor a little more to shave through...sort of take it through its paces. Plus, because I'm fair-skinned, one day's growth doesn't always photograph as well. So that extra day of growth helps my beard to register on camera a little more.

    Love slants 4 sure.. Already got RR German slant & PPA Bakelite OC Slant.. Thing is great efficient razors but not daily drivers.. So u think this Parker 1 (unfortunately haven't got it yet) strikes that balance between smoothness & efficiency?

    • @MarkSzorady
      @MarkSzorady  3 роки тому +2

      Hi, Fire Cured. The Semi Slant does have a bit more aggression, but is still quite smooth. My initial thought is that it can be used as a daily diver. However, only time will tell. For me, it appears to be a two-pass razor. I can get a VERY nice shave after two passes. I've done three passes with the Parker Semi Slant with no ill effects. However, with that third pass, I do approach the cusp of a tiny bit of irritation. The alum block certainly records a few more zings, but no stings. Of course, this is the alum block doing its job in knocking down any potential irritation. The blade plays a role in this too. So far, I've had three pass shaves giving me zings with one blade, and three pass shaves with no zings with another. YMMV.:)
