No, Not at all. I appreciate any/all advice I get. Most members here didn't like Parker. This is a new model, maybe they worked out some of their issues. Also, I really have nothing to compare it to, DE wise that is....

zib,

The dreaded DE AD will set in !!

I was the same; I needed a DE for quick shaves & travel use. I now have 12 DEs and 2 SEs

Have fun !

Best regards

Thanks for the warning Russ !

Yep!-there's alot to be said for the D/E-I'm using mine alot at the moment as working hours (14 a day) are not allowing me to use my straights.
Trying to keep shaving time to a minimum does not allow for a luxury shave and the beard is growing back quicker than with the straight.
Pound for pound though the D/E provides a relatively quick and comfortable shave for the time invested.
Congrats on your first D/E shave.
Here's to many more.

Shaving with a DE is fantastic. So much better then a disposable or mach 3. The other day I was showing someome my straight razors and DE razors. They were not intrested in trying a DE because were happy with the mach3 they used. I guess some people are afraid to try something new.

Lol..perhaps your friends facial hairs curled up in fear of yer str8 razors!..just my thought
