This is the older version of the Parker R22 gun metal razor. Opens and closes tightly with no blade exposure issues. Fairly aggressive but a nice shave.Jerry

Thanked: 1262Disaster with Big Ugly
Today's shave starting off well... then half way through my ATG pass disaster struck.
Big Ugly slipped from my hand and plunged towards the porcelain cavern below. Big Ugly somehow managed to escape with no dings or chips though and finished my friday shave.

Lucky you! My Böker "died" from a fall like that. Have you bought a lottery ticket today?
