Parker, Deluxe Black Gillette Fusion Compatible Razor with Long Textured Handle

Little over priced

I’m not particularly fond of the plastic handles that come with the factor blades. I need something heavier in my hand when I’m shaving. Holding plastic handles just doesn’t feel right. With this, you feel like you have a better grip and it sits well in your hand.I usually use this to shave my head, so I use it in the shower. This comes with a nice grip on the handle , so it doesn’t skip out of your hand. It’s a bit pricey, but it’s worth it.

Heavy in hand but provides great control for a perfect shave every time.

It’s a $60 razor handle that feels cheap. The head is not well attached to the handle. It’s light and plastic-y. It’s not returnable. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Look elsewhere

I like the weight, balance, and heft. This handle definitely feels better in my hand than the "stock" handle. Having said that, however, the resulting shave really isn't any better than before, so I'm not sure it's worth the expense. After having used it for a while I wouldn't buy it again unless it were at a much lower price point.

I've been using the Fusion razors since they first came out. Prior to that I went back and forth between electric shavers and various bladed razors, never being completely satisfied with either. All in all, he fusion blades have been great, but it took a couple extra passes to get as close a shave as I wanted. A few months ago, after being bombarded by all their advertising, I ordered the Harry's shaving system. I thought it was worth a try. Unfortunately, the blades on those razors were too flexible and it took even longer and more effort to get the shave I wanted. I used the Harry's razor for several weeks as they suggested, but came away unsatisfied. So I returned to the fusion blades, still feeling there was something better. Then one day I came across this Parker handle on Amazon. I was a little leery of spending this much money at first, but after reading the few reviews I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. It's a hefty handle, and the added weight is just enough to get the results I want. Instead of three or four passes to get the desired shave I'm getting it in one or two, without any added pressure against the blade. I would definitely recommend this razor handle.

The handle is really well built, has a lot of weight, and easy to hold. I deducted stars because it doesn't allow the razor blade to move side-to-side (laterally) only up-and-down. If you look at the standard razor handle that comes with Fusion 5, you can see that the handle allows the blade to move both side-to-side and up-and-down, so this handle, even though much nicer, lacks the additional movement. I consider this to be a big flaw in the design and causes the razor blade to be more rigid and easier to nick yourself even though the handle itself is high quality.

Received my new Parker Fusion razor today WOW! Until A few years ago I used A double edge razor. I tried A Gillett fusion . A great shave with few nicks if any. But I missed the heft of the old double edge. Well this new Deluxe Black Fusion Razor has full filled that need. It weighs A full 4.5 oz. and if you have large hands, as I do, well it is A full 4 inches long and with the slip resistance handle. It feels comfortable and it looks good , real good. This item is well worth its price
