Beard & Blade have the Parker Variant in stock

I can't help feeling that Aussie sellers missed the boat on this... I'm not tempted but you might be?

None. Everyone who used them raved about them except for the black one which loses its paint so get the silver if you can. Most even rated it higher than the famed Progress.

I think I would be cheating on my Gillette Slim if I purchased one. I'm also prevaricating over pulling the trigger on an R41.

Had one for almost a month, i can confirm its a great shaver quality pretty good as well, i like it better than my Merkur progress, Ive got the chrome one.
i got mine from the Safety Razor Store.

Black paint/coating issue has apparently been fixed. Hence name change to graphite.
Materials: genuine brass frame, electroplated finish in graphite color.
