As i mentioned in my post, i have a fondness for parker razors, not because they are cheap, because i find them to be excellent razors..i understand why your dad loves the 96R...The 94R which i've just bought, hopefully will be a good replacement for my gone,but not forgotten 22R (gunmetal finish), which will go nicely with the rest of my Parker DE razor collection....
Which consists of : Parker 24C (Open Comb) superb razor, Parker 92R, (TTO) similar to the 96R, 98R,(3 piece)(99R (TTO barberpole ) and soon to be added newly purchased 94R..i find all the parker razor i've got to be really well made, mid-aggressive, a nice weight to all of them, perform well with either aggressive or non aggressive blades..beautifully looking and a great value for money,a great all round DE razor..
They are probably not everyones cup of tea, but IMHO they stand up with some of "top range"ridiculously priced DE razors..at the end of the day, if a razor gives you sublime shaves,which parkers razors do for me, then why should i buy a top of the range DE razor at 10 x the cost of the humble Parker Range..An egg is a egg, free-range battery or what ever egg it is,they all do the say thing. .after that you are just getting sucked up by consumerism.IMHO.Regards.:)
