Hi Obie,

I just got a Parker 90R and have had 2 shaves with it. It is way milder than my Merkur 1904. Figuring out the blade angle is a little tricky, but its not a bad razor. Would you say that the Parker is as gentle as the Weishi, or is the Weishi way gentler?
I just bought a Gillette Superspeed and i'm looking forward to getting it in a few days.

Hello, Salazch:

Thanks for your note.

I found some Parkers more aggressive than the Merkurs. The Parker 90R I found really aggressive. The Weishi, from my own experience and from that of the others who have written about it, is probably the mildest razor around. Your Superspeed I would put somewhere in the middle; it's a good razor.

As you can see, we all react differently to certain products, whether razors, soaps or creams. In this case, go with what you feel is right with you.

Regards,

Obie
