Bought this Parker 91C the other day as a standby/ travel razor and tried it out this morning. Didn't realise what a savage little brute it was, and to compound the error, fitted it with a new Feather blade. Normally I use Feathers with a Futur set at 3 or 4 which is quite aggressive in anyone's books, and always have a smooth time, no nicks or grazing.
However, I soon realised that the Parker is not for the faint hearted, and although taking it very gently, had to abandon it and switch to the Merkur for the final pass. Ended up with a few nicks and some irritation on the lower lip area. Next time will try it with a less aggressive blade and see if that tames the beast.:icon_cry2:
