Week Two! Double Edge Parker & Lord

After the 16th of March I let my face and beard rest and stopped shaving. I took before and after pictures to give a reference.

I used my Parker double edge razor with a Lord super stainless steel blade. I used the same soap and normal procedures for shaving. I will admit when I first starting using the double edge blades I got cramps in my hands, but this time I didn't. It was an easy shave, as quick as the Mach3 but with much fewer overall strokes.



1.     Smoothness of Shave/Ease: 4 easy to shave, nice to hold. Originally I found these razors made my fingers cramp but now it doesn't seem to bother me.


2.     # of Strokes per square inch: one to two strokes


3.     Skin smoothness – Upper Lip: 5 in no direction can I find stubble


4.     Skin smoothness – Lower Lip: 3.5 some stubble but only up and down


5.     Skin smoothness – Chin: 3.5 some stubble but smooth


6.     Skin smoothness – Cheeks:4 excellent very smooth


7.     Skin smoothness – Jaw Line: 4 awesome shave usually a trouble area but now very nice zero irritation and easy to shave st different angles.


8.     Skin smoothness – Overall:  4 great shave nice and smooth fun and quick.


9.     Skin Irritation: small irritation if at all skin feels tight and smooth. Very small irritation under chin but only when rubbed. Pushed when shaving small cut.
