Thread: Parker SR1 vs Dovo Stainless

On a side note I have come to the conclusion that CVS brand blades suck performance wise, not to mention being ungodly expensive... no matter how smooth my strokes are or how steep or shallow the angle is, these things just dont cut down my whiskers without extensive effort and irritation...

I will be ordering a sample pack along with a couple different soaps to try, Im not overly impressed with the cheap VDH soap im using so that may be a contributing factor to the blades performance.

So I ordered myself a parker SR1, although I like the black I prefer to have the extra weight of the stainless handle. I also ordered the 12 type blade combo pack from maggards so hopefully I can fine a blade I like... will keep you guys posted

Good for you. My suggestion would be to use the mildest blades first. A Derby or something like that.
Good luck.

I have a Dovo shavette which is what I originally learned on. I still use it occasionally and get great shaves with it. Especially when I shave my head. Its an awesome little shaver. Never used a Parker so I cant really comment on it.
