I use my Parker SR1 with a Feather blade and I really love it. I used to use conventional straights and enjoyed them very much but my hands and arms wont let me do any more daily stropping. I purchased my Parker from this place Shop for Men's Shaving and Skincare Products - Geo F. Trumper Taylor of Old Bond Street Merkur Razors Proraso Savile Row Speick Tabac Musgo Real QED Soaps and it is well built out of stainless steel and aluminum and only cost $12.95
