My witch hazel is mixed into a 240ml full bottle.Is your witch hazel mix ration in a full bottle of TND or 100ml?
I have to admit I am guilty of blaming my tools, however it was inexperience. The Parker's do get better as you get more used to them, and for the price, a very good razor. Nice SOTD there.Shaving recipe for today.

Greetings,
Another early morning shave,
In one of my recent 'sotd's i used the Proraso sandalwood soap & after shave duo, today i've used the Eucalyptus & Menthol soap & duo which is my favourite duo of all the proraso shaving products i've tried & tested..A superb duo.
Last use of the bolzano s.i. blade, which have became one of my favourite blade's to date, these blade's are smooth sharp & very forgiving. Every razor i've paired them up with has been a excellent match adding to that the longivity of them is astoundingly good.
This morning i've carried on with the Parker 89R, which i haven't added to my razor rotation for long time, a superb razor,and for no intentional reason is the least used of all my parker razor's collection..However after the performance from her this morning i'll be adding it more often in my razor rotation...
It was only recently that this larger efficient voluptuous indian sibling of the Parker 94R featured in one of @Tony'schin sotd's, i was reminded me that i hadn't gave her a outing for a long time..Today outing was amazingly smooth and efficient.All of my parker indian princesse'shave gave me consistantly silky smooth irritation-free shaves today,yet again the 89R was no exception...I've found with experience that you get much better shaving results from parker razors by adjusting to a steeper shaving angle, however this does take a few shaves to adjust, but it's it's worth the effort, as your rewarded with some sublime shaves...Some people may be put off by this and put it down to the razor been too aggressive, or the quality isn't good anough..which is a feeble excuse IMHO.
Any razor can be aggressive, and give you a bad shave it's the disrespectful user, or should i say the 'lack of experience,bad preparation & lacking in technique user of the razor' that makes the shave a bad experience most of the time'."A bad worker always blames his tools".Enough said.
A comfortable in-expensive 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth bbs shave with no errors to report.
Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of L'OREAL~ Soothing Birch Sap Post Shave Balm.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.
