I am glad you did too

Me i got a Bluebeards Revenge but i'm interested on a parker ptb model. They seem to be good shaver and they say on reviews that there heftier then the older model. If You guys have any output let me know. Gino

I like to use the Parker srx and the Universal models superb

I used to shave with Parker SR1 (all-stainless one) before switching over completely to straights. I actually have bought it as a test case before deciding straight razors were for me and investing in a more expensive "real" SR.
It's much more aggressive and unforgiving than your regular cutthroat, but on a positive note - it you manage not to cut yourself with it, switching to SR will be easy: it really does teach you the meaning of "light, self-weight only pressure"
BTW, I still use it from time to time - when flying with a carry-on only and not being able to pack my SR.
