This was probably the last shave for Straightember. I found out why for me the Parker is more manoeuvrable than the TI: I hold the Parker with a 2-2 grip (two fingers before the tang, and two on the tang). Since on the TI the tang is so small, I have to grip either a 3-1 (possible, but not very comfortable), or 2-1 (which I end up doing most of the time). I guess that size matters, but that with good technique, I will be able to compensate 🤔.
On unrelated news, thanks to an anonymous and generous Swiss lender, a Sparschweinchen razor 🐽🪒 is on my way. I don’t know whether that exists anywhere else in the world, but where I come from, the end of October was the time of the Weltspartag (the world holiday of economies). So having an economy pig razor for October is a nice coincidence.

You might try hooking your pinky finger under the tang and using it to squeeze the tang against your ring finger. This gives you that 2-2 grip - sort of.

Looking forward to your opinions on the Koraat steel, fit, and finish.

I’ll try that - though I don’t think that this will give me the same kind of agility as a standard 2-2 grip.
