Parker Safety Razor PTB"Push Type Blade Load" Straight Edge Barber/Shavette with Stainless Steel Blade Arm and 5 Shark Stainless Blades

Muy buena calidad y facil uso.

I am able to get better shave in lesser time. Requires less water since I don't have to continously wash it to remove stuck hair as in case of Gillette razors. It took a little practice and some youtube videos to master the art of using a straight blade. Easy to load and change blades. So go ahead and use it even if its your first time.

アマゾン発送がこれくらいしか無かったのでこれを購入。非常に安価だが刃の保持も良く、ガタつきもないので安心して剃れる。替え刃は五枚だけなので購入はお早めに追記:もうすぐ3年目に突入するがまだ使えているブレード保持部は未だに緩みも無い。ブレード保護？持ち手？の根本ヒンジは新品の比べたら緩んできたがユルユルという訳ではなく、問題なく使える。流石にそろそろ買い換えようかと検討しているが、次もparker製を買おうと思っている。

The Parker PTB is my first straight razor, albeit a disposable single edge blade type of razor. I've always wanted to see if I could shave using a straight razor but the initial cost was very prohibitive being in the $300-$400 range just to start up with razor, strop, soap, etc. The Parker PTB Shavette allows me to attempt this with very little money out of pocket, 1/10th of the cost at least. At approximately $20, I could not pass this up.I ordered the Parker PTB along with the "Colonel Conk Watertight Travel Container with Soap" and chose the free shipping. I received both pieces in a single Amazon box from FedEx within two days instead of the expected 7 days or more I was expecting that normally comes with these free shipping offers.The Parker PTB was packaged nicely in a small box with a black sleeve covering the box. The floor on the inside of the box was lined in what I would consider a red velvet type material indicating some "class" to the Parker line. Within the Parker PTB box was housed the actual PTB, 6 replacement single-edged razor blades and illustrations describing how to "load" the razor blades into the PTB's head.The Parker PTB has a black plastic handle that does not feel to be flimsy at all, which was surprising. It feels very sturdy to the touch and while shaving. The metal arm appears to be stainless steel and is also sturdy to the touch and during use. The head that holds the disposable razor blade pushes out the end of the metal arm. To load the blade, I slid the entire head out of the metal arm for ease of inserting the blade. The hardest part I found was actually attaching the blade to the head and getting the top portion of the blade beneath the retaining metal flap that holds the razor snuggly against the inside of the head. But, I believe my fear of cutting myself on my first attempt probably didn't help with securing the blade to the head.My first shave was actually not that good. This was definitely due to me being new to the straight razor shaving club and my technique was definitely flawed. I have now shaved three times with the Parker PTB and am loving it.I would recommend this Parker PTB to anyone looking to attempt shaving with a straight razor for the first time or for someone who is looking for a razor that is cost effective.Giving the Parker PTB Straight Edge Shavette 5 Stars was an easy decision.*** EDIT ON 20130423 ***OK, I've had almost two weeks with this razor and I've used it several times. I like it; however, I have discovered that it is very easy to "gouge" yourself with the outside corner of the blade. Unlike some normal straight razors that have a rounded tip, the corner on the PTB blades are pronounced and caution is warranted. I have gouged my cheek a couple of times so far and thus, I am trying to tweak my technique a little more. I believe with lots of practice and patience, I will be able to get a decent shave with the PTB. But for right now, my Safety Razor is still King.

Great quality razor I’ve bought this brand before and will continue buying this brand again
