A excellent shave set up...The Parker 89R is a hefty efficient razor,..I'll have to give mine a outing. I have nine Parker's in total!..four passed on to me by work mates, five i've bought ,The 3 piece models i find more efficient than the TTO models.. Great all round razors fitted with either a aggressive or non-aggressive blade provide a excellent shave, look superb, great handles, great weight, at a very reasonable price...

What blades would you recommend, not too aggressive though.
 
9/4/19

Pre - Soap Free Face wash
Soap - Valobra Stick
Brush - Omega 80265
Razor - Gillette Fat Handle Tech
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue
Post - Witch Hazel/RSC
AS - Superdrug Forest Fresh

The GWS seemed to be at it's sharpest so far, I imagine down to some of the Teflon wearing off? It was an absolutely superb match with the Fat Handle Tech, I really shouldn't be buying any more blades but I find myself looking at 100 blade carton's on ebay.

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle

Guerlain Habit Rouge aftershave

Edwin Jagger Limes and Pomegranate Cream (sample)
Omega Mixed Midget
Face lather
Gillette Aluminium Tech
Feather Hi-Stainless
Alcolado Glacial

Another bash with the cream sample; as part of the travel kit. Although I prefer soaps (I only have one cream in my collection - TOBS Cedarwood), it is pretty good: a finger tip dab or two on the face and a fine, 3 pass lather was brought about by the Mixed Midget.

The Tech continues to give great shaves; especially with the Feather blade.

I may make this my last shave, until I get home. My destiny lies with a newly acquired R41 head and iKon OSS handle; and I'd like them to have a reasonable growth to ridicule.

DE blades are a subjective choice,.But i've found Voskhod's give me a really smooth shave, Personna Platinum's are another good choice. Both blades give excellent results when matched up with my Parker's. YMMV though..Hope this helps.
