Parker Variant Adjustable Closed Comb Safety Razor

I've got some of my closest shaves with this razor. However, it is a bit more aggressive than I would like. I have to be careful shaving sideways on my neck and around the mouth area.

I should note that I use Derby Special razor blades in all of my safety razors.

There is a minor manufacturing flaw with my razor. It looks like the flaw probably came from the mold used to form the razor.

I purchased this razor, because it is an Anniversary Edition of the Parker Variant Razor.
I own a variant already, so I knew this would be a very gentle razor! I broke it in, with a Gillette Nacet blade, as it is mild in all my other razors I have in rotation.
This razor shaved me nicely, with no nics or abrasions, the setting was on 1, and after the second shave, I was amazed at how clean I was, with only my normal spots, that are taken care of in the
" clean up " finale'
With the correct choice in blade, this delivered a great smooth shave, Very happy I purchased it !

I already own a Variant open comb edition and am very happy on the way it performs, besides the Black and gold and being closed comb this razor is the same as other variants. Shaves smooth, close and irritation free. I have not run into any trouble in adjusting it or in its calibration of it. If you don't line up the lines on the razor it will not shave right and you can tell right away somethings wrong, I know because I wasn't paying attention and felt the razor not closing down tightly. I have never been disappointed by Parker and based on the reviews of their products most people have not been either.

Great looking adjustable from Parker. I love the pop of gold on the black. It’s well made and the quality is outstanding. It adjusts properly and shaves big! Fantastic razor. Well done!

This is a really great razor. Unique adjustable system, it is very easy to use. And she's a beauty in the anniversary black/gold edition. I have seen this razor from time to time and didn't think I would like it, but it gives me a great shave and I've been happy ever since the purchase. Parker is great in general, and the blades pair well the razor. Do not skip out on this!
