Parker SoloEdge in stock

What a wonderful razor it is !

My first shave with SoleEdge. Loaded with snapped Rhinoceros blade. It seems to me that snapped ends reach too far and they hinder proper fastening of cap. I clipped ends off.

Shave was stellar. Two pass face shave. BBS

I also clipped the ends off the half blade and felt I got a much more effective shave. Maybe that millimeter drop of the blade further into the base made all the difference. Or maybe I'm getting used to the angle of the shave.

The bent ends introduce torque variance into the shave. That is not ideal, so better to avoid it and cut them off. It is spring steel after all.
