Parker 66R Butterfly Open Double Edge Safety Razor - Super Heavyweight

Beautiful, heavyweight, long handle TTO razoz. Pleasing to the eyes, feels great when holding.The first couple of shaves were not good, I ended up cutting myself. I wasn't comfortable, as if something about the razor was amiss. So I got in touch with JK. International (the seller), shared that something about the razor wasn't right and I couldn't point my finger on it. So they asked me to courier it to them and they sent it to the Parker people. While they checked and said that there's nothing wrong with it, they were kind enough to send me a replacement.The one that I received now is super smooth and gives a close shave. I have sensitive skin and I haven't cut myself. Very pleased with the razor. The weight itself does the job for you.Great product and great customer service by JK Intonation and Parker.

Will never go back to cartridge razors again. These are all metal brass heavy body razors and you get multiple shaving from 1 blade. Rare to find craftsmanship this good anywhere and the price is fair.

Asymmetrical as far as blade placement is concerned. Had to throw it away

Totally unhappy with the product. Also no mrp printed on the box. Also manufacturers details etc missing. Why pay so much. Nothing fancy about it. Also blades rusted soon.

De primera impresión es un rastrillo muy bonito. Pesado aparentemente de buena calidad pero al momento de montar la hoja y cerrar el mecanismo de Mariposa, ooohhh sorpresa, queda desalineada y notorio a simple vista. Un lado de la hoja queda sustancialmente más expuesto qué el otro por lo que el rasurado es distinto. No lo recomiendo. Ya hay otras reseñas del mismo producto que refieren lo mismo. Quise darle una oportunidad a PARKER pero me falló con este rastrillo. En contraparte los rastrillos de la misma marca qué no son de Mariposa sino de 3 piezas, se alinean perfectamente

Some reviewers said that this razor is aggressive? I didn’t find it aggressive, and as for blades, I use nothing but feather. I love the weight of it, but I have learned with this type of heavy razor, don’t push it, let the razor do the work. I just received it, had 3 days growth on my face, this razor went through it like butter! I had one tiny weeper on my chin, if ever I nick myself it’s always there. I highly recommend this razor, it was half the price of my Merkur, and it shaves just as good if not better.

Muy práctica gracias al mecanismo de mariposa. Robusta, mango largo y con más peso que las habituales.

I am 75 years old. I have been doing this a long time. I have been reading a lot of reviews about double edge shavers and razor blades. Most are just D A posers who want to tell you how smart the are. They are not. They have surfed the web and come up with ways to impress you. The angles, the shave agression, and all that is B S. The point is ALL the butterfly safety razors out there whether it is made in China, or India is from an expired patent from Gillette. They are basically the same they may have a spits worth of difference between them. The difference is YOU. That's it. We all have different skin and hair. The non-butterfly razors fom Germeny or England are the same.The bottom line:You personally have to try them and make up your own mind. This BS about which is best is just that. BS. Whether to use a butterfly type is just a preference. Back in the 60s I had to borrow a non butterfly. I did not like it. I felt like I would lose some piece in the sink. My friend loved his. Just preference.My advise, order serveral of each kind and try them out and see what YOU like. Same with blades. When I first started to shave there was not much choice. There was Gillette blue blade or nothing. It was a real piece of dodo. Got dull about 1 to 3 days.There were no stainless blades then, Wilkerson was the first that came out. Thought it was the best thing since grits. But it can not compare to today's blades. The blades made in Japan or the USA are as good as any ever made. Try them both. See what you like. You have to use them serveral days in a row (same as the razor) to see how your face or skin adjusts to the new blade and razor.I read that some razors were a good starter razor. That is stupid BS. These things don't have training wheels on them. This is an investment that may last a lifetime, threat your decision carefully.Shave cream or soap: they are about the same with shave soap a little better. But you are going to have to get a good brush and a cup to use it properly. The reason this seems to give a better shave is the hot water involved used with the process. Old time barbers used hot towels and a straight razor shapened enough to split an atom. I use hot water and hot towels. I also use plain hair conditioner as a lubricant. Yes plain old hair conditioner and hot water.Now about cutting yourself. It's not about if but when. You are going to have to get a septic pen or bar. Get the bar. You will know why after you cut yourself. Don't try to be macho. Get an astrigent like witch hazel. Your face will think you. Then use a little after shave. Noitce I said a little AFTER shave. Not COLOGNE. The difference between the two is like the difference of toilet water and perfume for women. Talk to your mama or you girlfriend if you don't know. Women use perfume on the back of their hand or behind the lobe of their ear. It's applied by a glass stopper not a handful like a man does. Young men especially are prone to drench them self's like a New Orleans whore. Listen up. Give your neighbors a break in elevators and pod rooms. It stinks.

Aggressiveness mid range. Well built and solid. Good grip. Good quality.
