Parker is a manufacturer from India that has been producing fine hardware since 1973, you can bet your bottom rupee you are in good hands if you pick one of their products. This is where performance, quality and value for money comes together in razor universe. Their razors vary from fairly conservative to outright Bollywood splendour, and boy do they ever have the moves! Their shaving action ranges from mild to medium aggressive, so basically anyone can use them. Black, grey and chrome... it works in some cases, and in some not, in this razor it does. The machine cut handle exposes beautiful brass in wavy patterns with dots speckled in between their curves, the handle grips surprisingly well, and the dark grey matter covering the brass feels tacky but in a good way, as it offers nice grip between your fingers. The razor is fitted with a head that will give you mild shaves, and you can make a pass or two across or against the grain if you prefer a closer shave. a Surprisingly exclusive looking razor in this price range if you ask our opinion! It sets the scale at 84 grams and stands a 112 mm proud. I googled 'black peacock' as the 'eyes' in this razor reminded me of this extravagant bird, but only pics of some boring jacket popped up...
