Today was my first shave with the newly launched PARKER 78R, a re-designed head that promises to be comfortable yet efficient. And it is! I would not say it is mild like no-blade-fell-mild, it is well balanced. I see that also the shave can be altered depending on the blade you pair it with. I went with Parker blades, which are sharp, so I guess it also leveled a bit up. Great razor.
The handle fits well on the hand Though it is long, the thin handle makes it not feel bulky and accommodates well. And the knurling is deep, so no problems with soapy wet hands.
The Taconic cream is also very good. In my opinion an underrated brand. It is artisanal, US made and provides a great slick protective lather.
The brush also did a great job lathering up. It was my first ever use of a mixed fiber brush (badger and synthetic).
Finishing up with a classic: Proraso.
All in all, an amazing shave!

----- About the channel
I'm André. My main channel is actually in Portuguese, called Barba Tradicional. But since I do create some content in English sometimes I decided to upload that also here.
Many people have sensitive skin and/or suffer from ingrown hairs, irritation or have difficulty shaving difficult areas. Since 2017 I have retired the multi-blade cartridge and electric shavers, switching to traditional shaving. The results are astounding! Of course, it requires learning some tricks and tricks, after all it's easier to cut yourself (it's more efficient!). But it's worth a try! Here I help answer some questions and how to have a barbershop-worthy shave: How to shave? How to avoid irritation and ingrown hair? What is the best shaver? How to shave with a razor? How to choose the shaver? What care and attention when shaving?
I hope that with the tips on this channel you will have a shave without irritation or ingrown hairs. Above all it is a cheaper and more sustainable way to shave!

Nice buddy! Thanks for the shout out. Great looking shaver

[@thebrazilianshaver]

Thank you for stopping by buddy! That was a great shave!

[@dan_mer]

Every single company is introducing unisex, long-handle, fully enclosed razor. In my experience, they are all the same, very mild and ideal for legs.

[@thebrazilianshaver]

Thank you Dan for tuning in! That's true, many brands are going that direction.

[@MalerAndyVlogs]

Best shaver I've found after trying well over a dozen of the most popular modern and vintage examples available - and that includes adjustables.

[@thebrazilianshaver]

It is really good indeed! I see myself reaching this razor que often

[@dave_dhannoo]

The razor reminds me of an Australian razor my friend sent me as a gift, some eco company, forget the name. Wonder if they were inspired by Parker. Nice shave mate. 🪒🙌

[@thebrazilianshaver]

Hey mate. I think I know which one you refer to. Never tried tough. Thanks for watching. 💈🤟🏻
