There is a new Art of Shaving store by where I work, and I stopped in before Christmas to purchase some of their pre-shave oil, and check out the safety razors.
As Mr. Gollnick is quite demanding and particular(though also untimely in his fulfillment re: offer of Clear Creek products
)I wanted to handle the Merkur Futura....I found it short and heavy and expensive, although a thing of beauty.
I ordered a Parker 90R(made in India) from Amazon.com(rated 5 stars by 11 people, of 17 total reviews) which also came with 5 Shark blades.....free shipping and cost a total of $26.67. It arrived on Thursday, so I put it to work for my New Year's Eve shave, and only nicked myself a little bit.
Didn't shave yesterday....didn't do much of anything yesterday. Today, I actually looked forward to shaving, and although I nicked myself up a little bit again around the neck region, I must say I have been converted to a DE safety razor man.
Best Regards,
STeven Garsson
