el Frijol

Well, the previous razor I purchased (a Weishi) was a little less than satisfactory. I couldn’t quite get the right angle to give me a decent shave. I looked up some reviews and people were reporting similar experiences. So I put it on the shelf and decided to look for another.

After some hemming and hawing and some more research I settled on a Parker 86R from Amazon.com.

After just over a week, I can say that I’m really satisfied with it’s performance. I still need to master my technique, but I’m getting a closer shave and it’s much easier to do that with the Weishi. Also, this razor came with 100 blades, a year’s worth. Pretty good deal.
