A wonderful shave! The TSD Bamboo & Teak is a genuinely fresh scent! I caught myself sniffing the brush between passes! That scent would make a great AS togehter with some menthol! The Heljestrand is now honed to HHT status and cut the whiskers like butter! The wonderful sound of a hollow ground shearing, reaping the beard! I'm very glad I detoured down the road of straight razors! And I'm happy to have found such a wealth of information and helpfulness (and kindness, not to say the least!) as I've found here!

I'm getting quite nice shaves on a regular basis with the straight now, nice! The TSD Blueberry is just awesome! I had to stop myself from actually eating the lather! The rich creamy lather we all love from the TSD soaps with a savoury blueberry scent, a calming and pleasant experience!

I love the blueberry!
Takes me back to my childhood. My parents owned a house, that was a block away from a public blueberry field. Something like 5 acres of blueberries. All the free blueberries you wanted. Our freezer was always full of blueberries. I've never had blueberries as good as those ones. I visited my family last year, and those blueberries did not disappoint.

JoAnna, just as a point of interest for you, I absolutely LOVE the scents of the Sandalwood, and Lavender soaps from you, not to mention the lather, and everything else from them. The Sandalwood soap is elegant smelling and exotic, the Lavender is barbershoppy, and just right for a guy like me! ;) :D

I have the 22r but am NOT impressed at all. Very thin material, easy to bend, the blade is twisted at all four corners. For 5$ this would be an OKAY razor, but for ~20... no way I'll buy one like that again.

Yikes. Tried out the Derby Samurai 3 cartridge razor and blade. $3.99 for a handle and 5-pack of blades. First shave == not good. At all. I did manage to achieve a BBS shave, but my neck is on fire worse than it's been in a long time. Going to give it a few more attempts and try another cartridge or two to give it a fair run... but initial impressions are not positive. Still... hope remains. I figured since Derby DE blades are so great (my favorite DE blade) then maybe those same blade designs are used in the cartridge versions? We shall see.

Didnt know you had a 71R .. freaky !
yes I like its agressive aswell. out of the 3 modells the best shaver sofar is the 89R followed closely by the 91R they might be equal its just I shaved more with the 89R then the 91R. currently 91R is all I use. I like the longer handles and the increased weight. my Gillette Aristocrat silver is retired for the moment.:eek:

@Rene: Yeah, I got a 22R and a 71R this week. The 22R is... cheap, as I mentioned before, it shaves okay, but is only worth 5$ IMHO. Very bad build quality. The 71R is great, I like the weight, the handle, everything. But, still, the build-quality lacks. The screw thread wasn't drilled exactly in the center, the head is not of the same quality as the Merkurs are. For the ~13€ I paid it's a good, rock-solid razor, but it's not worth much more, IMHO.
Parker really has to work on their QA...

Danke Klaus ich wurde es Parker sagen. about the screw thread ! jeees I didnt even look myself.the 71R is the lightest of all 3...
The 22R V1 i'd say I agree not with V2 which is a better improvement the only thing I dont like so much with V2 is the head design the handle is a cool gun metal. I have a feeling you have a V1.
Your comments help alot just so you know ! the 71R wouldnt have been the way it is unless you commented on it. so this will be taken dead serious .

Boubi, barbers here are paranoid about having an accident with a straight razor, and injuring a customer, because of a lawsuit, and also because of SIDA. The federal, and provincial laws here in Canada require a barbershop to use sterilized shaving equipement, but I'd still prefer to do my own shaving.

you could always have brought your own brush ,cream and your str8 I think your barber would be excited using your own stuff on you anyways now that you broke your str8 in two halfs that journey as come to an end for you. :eek:

Danke Klaus ich wurde es Parker sagen. about the screw thread ! jeees I didnt even look myself.the 71R is the lightest of all 3...
The 22R V1 i'd say I agree not with V2 which is a better improvement the only thing I dont like so much with V2 is the head design the handle is a cool gun metal. I have a feeling you have a V1.
Your comments help alot just so you know ! the 71R wouldnt have been the way it is unless you commented on it. so this will be taken dead serious .
Ah, well, Rene, I guess with the Parkers it's you get what you pay for. For 13€ you can't expect the build-quality of a Merkur, which still are and will be my new razors of choice.
But it's good to know that the input will be taken seriously :)

Try something else Boubi, I have been experimenting with the Anherb Conditioner a bit , whenever I slap on the A/S I wait about 20 seconds then grab the Anherb and pour out about 1/2 a tea spoon and rub it on the face while its still drying up with the A/S you will notice an improvement of your skin been doing that for 2 weeks in a row now. but this is only for diehards because its so COLD when the anherb interacts with the A/S . and I wish you would use your Kent BK8 more often.
