Hi Candy, welcome!
Cool razor! Looks like Parker’s version of the Merkur 37 slant. I have the Razorock version, it’s a nice shaver. Be sure to give us your report when your gotten some shaves!
Don’t forget to stop by the introductions section too and let us get to know you better!

That Parker 55SL is a great shaver. I got one when it first came out and have to say that it replaced my RR 37 clone as the best clone of the Merkur 37 series. It falls somewhere in between the vintage Merkurs(with the beveled heads and the later Merkurs with the scalloped heads. It is a very smooth and efficient shaver and if this is your first slant, you will be very pleasantly surprised.
muuch better shave today! Using astra sp for a second (and last) shave , maybe i'm beginning to master this infernal tool 
but i got a near bbs everywhere and youst one nick -that was not a real nick but turned out to be an ingrown hair "exploding " at the atg pass. Went out in a second of alum. Today i'm pretty satisfied.
PS
As a side note, i'm noticing my ingrown hairs (from 32 years of cartridge shaving) are disappearing! Not bad at all

Nice work @candy2014! Glad it’s working well for you.
Looks like a fantastic shave to me!
Now you're ready to spread the word!
yes for me it's quite unbelievable. after decades of accepting ingrown hairs a s a fact of life using multiblades since sensor days i'm impressed. now i understand why the DE users keep telling us about the advantage of "less (blades) is better".
well i always think if you have to start something, you have to learn starting with the best. I mean.....i am a personal trainer, when i started squatting i started using barbell squats instead using that useless machines. Harder? More difficult? Sure. But...more effective? You bet it!!
