The Parker Variant Open Comb has completely changed my daily shave routine—in the best way possible. I’ve tried a lot of razors over time, and this is easily the best one I’ve ever used. , and the best looking! What stands out immediately is how smooth and irritation-free the shave is. On setting 1, I can shave every single day with zero irritation—no redness, no razor burn, nothing. It’s consistent and comfortable in a way that’s honestly hard to find. What’s even better is how adjustable it is. If I skip a day or two, I just bump it up a notch, and it handles the extra growth effortlessly without sacrificing comfort. That flexibility makes it feel like multiple razors in one. The open comb design deserves a lot of credit here too. It’s efficient without being harsh, and it clears longer stubble far better than most closed comb razors I’ve used. It just feels more capable, especially on those days when growth is heavier. Another huge plus is the weight. This razor has a solid, substantial feel in the hand, and that actually improves the shave. You don’t need to apply pressure at all—the razor does the work for you. That alone reduces irritation and makes the whole experience more controlled and relaxed. Build quality is excellent as well. Everything feels tight, precise, and well-made. The adjustment mechanism is smooth and easy to dial in, and once you find your preferred settings, it becomes second nature. Overall, this razor hits that rare balance of efficiency and comfort. It’s forgiving enough for daily use at lower settings, but powerful enough to handle heavier growth when needed.

Great razor with the right amount of adjustability. I shave my head in the shower, so being able to adjust easily based on WTG, ATG, etc is critical. Open comb can be scary to use on your head, but the adjustability makes the fear go away quickly. Going across the grain on 3.5 mows down 2-3 days of growth without hesitation, and going against the grain on 2-2.5 is nice and mild, yet affective. In my experience, this razor likes sharper blades, but that can be extremely variable based on the user. As long as you are used to not applying any pressure, the heft of the razor is great and does all the work. I also appreciate the long handle for shaving the back of my head. The build quality is excellent and it feels like a razor that should last a lifetime as long as it is well treated. The knurling on the handle is the right amount of aggressive, even when covered in soap. The channels behind the comb are very deep, so I can shave an entire pass on my head without even thinking about needing to rinse This is probably my 8 or 9th razor (second adjustable), but has quickly gained a spot in my top 2. Definitely worth a try

I don't know guys. I have the r41 and r89, I'm very happy with them. I decided to try this one. I'm shaving my entire head with r41 and Muhle blades, then I pass my problem spots with r89 using Feather blades. Never got any cuts. With Parker setting 3, I was used the alum block multiple times during shaving, it was a first time for probably 3 years. It wasn't related to my technic. I can handle r41 with no nicks on entire head shave. There is nothing to enjoy with this razor. I've never had any luck with Parker, this was my last attempt...

The most comfortable, repeatable, and adaptable 3 piece adjustable OPEN comb safety razor I have ever used. Crafted with high quality material and a good heavy handle gives a premium feel. I have been a Merkur Futur user for 10+ years and the one complaint I’ve had would be the tendency for Hair to clog at the bottom of the safety bar. As a frequent sufferer of ingrown hair with semi-dry sensitive skin I go 2-3 days between shaves and this clogging of my wiry thick growth in the blade exacerbated the problem. With the Parker open comb design, thick stubble is smoothly combed and presented to the blade in a manner that prevents the blade from tugging at the skin causing friction and in grown hairs. At first cut with the razor I could instantly feel the release of my hair in a smooth gliding sensation rather then the traditional peeling feeling I associate with shaving. Currently I am testing Viking Blades for medium to corse hair with the Parker handle and the shave is forgiving yet close and uniform. I have some Gillette Nacent, Bic Chromium, and Feather hi-stainless blades to also give a shot. If you’re looking for a razor for 2-3 day type shaves look no further than this Parker Razor.

Excellent, adjustable so it can accommodate comfort and closeness of shave. It is very well weighted, letting the razor do the work. As a beginner to double edge razors I find it easy to use. As I use it, the open comb allows a small accumulation of shaving soap on the blade which allows a little extra protection. I use Dorco prime platinum blades (sharp) with this razor on a “mild” setting. It provides a great shave and no nicks. Its a very good razor.

Very nice. Well put together. The indicators of the blade aggresiveness are kinda not accurate. Screw it down to bottom and come back up as you can.

Parker Variant Open Comb Parker Variant Open Comb Just received and used this razor for the first time, and it’s time for some ranting and raving. For perspective, I’m new to DE Safety razors, and started by using a bevel razor. After using this for a few weeks, and watching hours and hours of videos about various razors, I settled on the Parker open comb. I was concerned about it being too aggressive or coming in faulty or misaligned. The razor came with no noticeable flaws with alignment, fit/finish, not screwing down all the way. The razor also does a good job of varying between barely usable 1 to almost scary to use 5 setting, with everything in between. It does not click to a specific spot, so you can infinitely adjust the blade gap with micro adjustments to your liking. For me, the 3-3.25 setting with a personna platinum coated blade was an absolute laser beam. There were no nicks aside from one on my lip that was absolutely my fault. The soap cleared out of the comb super easy, and the grip/ weight of the razor is perfect for me. Not too heavy, not too light, and zero grip issues. For the price point of $60, I can confidently say this is the best value for me. The Rockwell 6c requires you to change plates. The Rockwell t2 is too expensive. The merkur progress looks like it’ll slip out of my hands and slice my toe off, and the pearl flexi look too chonky for me. Everything else isn’t adjustable or isn’t worth the money to me. I would love to hear what everyone else thinks of it, or why they are holding off from trying one.

I was using a butterfly razor that wasn't giving me a great shave. This one however feels a lot better and is now my go to razor.

impresionante, bien construida, grandes materiales y acabado impecable, revisada de arriba a abajo y no he encontrado imperfección alguna. bien alineada, buen peso y equilibradísima. robusta pero ligera en cada pasada, por su propio peso el afeitado es espectacular, he utilizado una cuchilla SHARK (usada anteriormente para un afeitado de dos pasadas ( en rostro y cabeza) con una YINTEL DE MARIPOSA - que es divina tambien - y con una exposición del "2" apenas necesitaba una segunda pasada con la PARKER, tan sólo por el mero placer de volver a pasarla porque da gusto. Se desliza cantando a capela soberbiamente, no da tirones y no resulta agresiva siempre y cuándo no expongas de más la hoja (y yo soy de barba dura y piel tirando a sensible) Los restos se limpian con facilidad, unas sacudidas y listo, no hace falta un chorrazo a presión. me ha gustado tanto que también me he agenciado la versión cromo satinado, y lo mismo me hago con la negra de anillo dorado que visto por ahí ahora en el 2026.

Parker Variant Open Comb Adjustable Safety Razor Cons . Unlike other quality razors which have their name engraved on their razors, this product lacks the Parker name or logo, raising concerns about its authenticity. . By enhancing the visibility of the adjustment dial, it would become much easier to use. If the numbers are made black to contrast with the graphite, it would be a simple yet effective way to improve its visibility, and the dot used to align the numbers is barely visible. Pros . You don't need multiple passes to get a close shave. It is effective and delivers a phenomenal shave in just one pass. . The razor has a nice weight and feels great and comfortable in hand. . The range of mild to aggressiveness is highly appreciated. Although there are minor cons, I absolutely love this razor and believe it deserves a 5-star rating. If you're searching for a great present for a wet shaver, I believe this razor could be an excellent option. It provides a high-quality shaving experience and is a solid adjustable safety razor that won't break the bank.

This is a well built beast of a razor. It gave a very smooth and comfortable shave on all settings. If you are shaving daily, setting between 2 to 3 gives you damn fine one pass shave. Only small niggle that I have is the satin finish seems to have bit of resistance on the skin but a slicker soap would solve that. A glossy chrome finish would have been ideal. All said, this is a wonderful razor for novices and experts alike. Flawless construction, no blade misalignment and should probably last decades.

Davvero ottimo! Giusto peso, ottime finiture, pratico e versatile. Possedevo già la versione a pettine chiuso e la usavo con grande soddisfazione, ma questo vince tutto. Nonostante pelle delicata e barba non folta mi trovo molto meglio coi DE open comb, uso regolarmente R41 e Fatip anche per barba di 2 giorni (meno passate, meno irritazioni) mentre i closed ormai li tengo da parte. È un 2 pezzi. Ha 6 posizioni di regolazione, io mi trovo bene sulla 4. Sulla 6 ha un gap notevole ma con molta attenzione e un buon sapone si può gestire. Le foto che ho caricato mostrano il gap sia su posizione 1 che su posizione 6. Poterlo regolare ed eventualmente ridurlo per il contropelo è molto pratico. Se proprio devo trovare due difettucci, i numeri che marcano le posizioni sono davvero poco visibili ma magari è un problema che riguarda solo i presbiti come me; la testa del rasoio è molto ciccia ed è un po' problematico lavorare di fino o fare la zona subito sotto le narici. Tuttavia questa è una prerogativa di tutti i regolabili, anzi, questo meno di altri. In ogni caso io per i contorni di pizzetto e basette uso uno shavette. Si sciacqua bene e nessuna traccia di ossido nonostante di norma non stia ad asciugarlo dopo ogni utilizzo. Ovviamente consiglierei di andare per gradi prima di usarlo con un gap molto aperto. Non dico che abbia raggiunto la pace dei sensi perché già so che quando ne vedrò qualcun altro che per qualche motivo mi solleticherà, lo comprerò. Però in teoria con questo si può anche non pensare di sperimentarne altri
