Parker Deluxe Black Fusion-Compatible Razor – 6″ Heavyweight Textured Handle + Free Gillette® Fusion Blade – Premium Men’s Shaving Tool

Excellent quality. Nice feel and weight. Don't have to buy the disposable plastic/rubber handle that keeps getting moldy.

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

When in use (wet with water and shaving gel) handle is very difficult to grip firmly. The small diameter cylindrical shape is not a good design for this use, and the light gnarling is not effective when wet and soapy. NOTE: This item is NOT RETURNABLE. Save your money!

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.

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.

This razor is just the right balance and gives you a really smooth and close shave. It is the best razor I have found so far in the Gillette family. Good price and was sent to me very quickly even though I live in the Philippines.

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.

I've long wanted a more stylish handle for one of the few things that I have used consistently since I started shaving as a young man, but I've been put off by the sales tactics and high prices of some other options. This Parker handle fits the sweet spot where design and touch of luxury are offered at a reasonable price. It has a substantial feel and quality, and it can stand on its own upright in the medicine cabinet or on the counter without the need for a separate stand.
