Parker Adjustable Injector Single Edge Razor & 20 Blade Refills

I really wanted to like this …

The concept of injection razors makes a lot of sense to me. One of the biggest problems with double-edged safety razors is their wide heads, which are not easy to get into tight spaces like under the nose or around the jaw line. So I wanted to like this new thinner more modern “injection” design. And maybe it does … given another brand’s implementation … but not this one by Parker.Because this particular razor is pretty bad. They skimped corners everywhere. The plastic handle has rough and pointy edges. The metal part of the handle is so sharp in places it’s borderline dangerous. Every bit of metal looks like they used the cheapest option they could get away with without it falling apart. There’s a weld seam at the top of the razor they artfully (mostly) hide in the photos. It’s obviously built to a price point, and that price point is low.All of which could be forgiven if the shave was actually good. But it’s not. It’s possibly the worst shave of my life. The blades provided are not at all sharp. Blood city. I tried several different blades just to make sure the one included inside the razor wasn’t a fluke. Nope, they were all bad.Even at setting 1 (the most mild) it’s way more aggressive than nearly every other razor I’ve ever used. At setting 5 you might as well just use a straight razor with the amount of blade you have dragging across your face.Perhaps if you have very tough skin and soft hair this razor will work for you. But if you have fair / sensitive skin and/or anything other than the lightest of hair, I can’t even imagine this working.I don’t like giving products bad reviews, but in this case I must. This thing is pretty bad. I like the concept, but the implementation is terrible.

EXCELENTE EL MEJOR PARA RASURAR

Quiero comentarles, me pusieron en duda, pero encontré cual es la solución definitiva solo cambiar de marca de hoja por unas shick inyector, hojas, yo tengo también un rastrillo doble filo merkur lo uso con hojas doble filo parker y si esas si son muy buenas, del nivel de las hojas merkur, aquí la falla fue en la fabricación de las hojas inyector Parker si producen mucha irritación y algunos pequeños cortes, yo lo que hago uso un jabón de tarro con brocha Osama de alumbre y una crema de afeitar suave adicional para hacer una espuma espesa. y una delicia de rasurando con mi maquina Parker inyector u al final una pequeña pasada con mi maquina doble filo y, Buala perfecto rasurando.

Pretty good really would buy the blades again

I bought this because I bought the schick one that they have on Amazon and with the schick blades were terrible cuts my face or nicks only git one good shave from blade from it the rest were horrible or average or less then I tried the supply razor and it was smoother but gave me razor burn at times I wanted to love this type of razor I like the style and function but the shave was not great then I heard Parker made a adjustable injector razor so I wanted to try it. I would say that I would keep this one because it did better than the other ones and the blades are good with the schick or supply I had to switch blades as I was shaving because after the first pass I would get the blade less sharp and pull my hair or scratching my skin which were causing nicks which is why I had to switch a new blade into the razor. But the Parker blades I think are more platinum blades which is better I think but cuts great. The result from this Parker adjustable razor is that I think it is good it shave well I did get a few nicks but small ones the other injectors gave me razor burns and aftershave splash would burn tremendously but this was good way better then the others with there blades they have for them so I would give this like a 4.3 or 4.5 because the shave was good but it did not shave to bbs which what I like to get but did 90 percent of my hair which may need more practice and it gave me nicks but a few that’s why I think this is 4.5 stars try not to listen to the other reviews all the YouTube videos about this razor had been good for them I think the people that bough the razor injector razor were new to it. My recommendation is buy a safety razor instead either Rockwell is really good or Gillette king c gillette is really good too, Parker razors to me are good too but can be aggressive, weishi is good but less expensive and there Edwin jagger and merkur in fact get any safety razor that you may choose and practice using before trying this razor it gets time to get use to it and the safety razor blades are cheaper than the injector blades , Pennie’s to dollars with injector blades. Safety razor blades can be 2 dollars for five blades compared to injectors blades being 8 dollars for seven to eight and in my experience the safety razor double edge blades are far better, sharper and smoother than the injector but the Parker blades for this injector are good. But if you had use the injectors get the Parker adjustable injector razor I think it is a good razor and I am keeping mine but choose it if you want to try it don’t listen to the reviews but if it is not for you than just get the safety razor you will be happy with them I promise they are a good buy. But this razor is a good buy too in my opinion.

Parfait 👍 👍

Au top 👌👌👌👌

Mild razor on settings one and two – works for a head shave.

This is a mild razor and I have used it primarily for head shaves. I changed the blade that came with it and used a new Parker injector blade for 2 head shaves and followed it up with a new Schick injector blade for another 2 head shaves. The settings I used on the razor were 1 and 2 – although I could not tell the difference between the two settings, nor could I tell the difference between the Parker and Schick injector blades.The difficulty I found in using this razor was when shaving the back of my head. It was difficult to find the correct shaving angle and after a couple of attempts, I ended up finishing off each shave with a cartridge razor. Maybe getting used to this razor might help, but with an open blade one has to be careful about getting cut.The sides and back of the handle are made of plastic and have a grip so it is not an all metal razor. The head appears to be made up of zinc alloy and the adjustment attempts to open up the blade gap, but there was nothing that I could observe even while turning the dial all the way to “6” and back to “1”. I only attempted to shave on settings 1 and 2 and both of those are mild settings – both gave a nice comfortable shave.I’m not sure whether this razor is a keeper for the long term. It has a slightly flimsy build and does not have the tactile feel of a CNC machined razor – the price point reflects that. Perhaps if Parker decided to come out with a CNC stainless steel razor in the same or improved design, that might satisfy the durability question. For now, you do get what you paid for.
