1. I wanted a device that is completely made of metal
2. it uses cheap to be ordered half blades; 100 pcs approx 5 Euros (it can also normal razor blades are broken apart in the center)
Equal to the device:
- The part comes in a plain packaging, but that is a minor matter, and this was always disposed of the same.
- Although it is not sooo verabeitet hochwerig, but it fits well in the hand and has no sharp edges.
- Equipping the blades is simple: work a bracket high and divides the blade holder. Then you put the blade to the pins includes the holder and fixed everything back to the rear ironing done.
- The fact that the device is made of metal, it absorbs the heat of the (hot) water well and slides pleasantly on the skin.
- The low price of the blades pays off in any case quickly against the horrendously expensive system blades (Wilkinson or Gilette)
All in all, a pleasant-to-use device at an unbeatable price in my opinion.
Now a few experiences from me personally for wet shaving with a blade so:
- You have to first have a few "losses" ie expected cuts until you get the bow (styptic pencil is not bad!)
- Who, like me, with my left hand almost nothing availeth partially very beautiful contortions with the (right) must make obvious, but it's already time
- I got a much more intense Verhälnis to shave rather than just me or similar fast-fast with the Wilkinson to shave
- I always shave after taking a shower because the whiskers are slightly softened; I then used foam from a can (shame on me :-))
- To shave without shower I give a wet, hot washcloth on your face and then shave. I then foams on the shaving brush. so the whiskers have then enough time to soften.
- Much more effective for trimming beard contours as razor system!
- I use for hygienic reasons for each shave a new blade. Priced at over 5 euros for 100 blades (Shark Stainless) probably no great financial burden
These experiences have but of course nothing to do with the quality of the purchased equipment!
For the above Parker 31R I therefore give off a full purchase recommendation! 5 Stars!
