I dropped my Parker 26c razor of the floor and although it still shaves fine, it is more difficult to screw the handle on to the top. The post might have been bent.
So my question is: do you know any stainless steel razors that shave/perform similar to the Parker 26c? I really love the razor and I'd like to get in more durable material.
Thanks!

The open comb side of the Ikon Shavecraft 101 is similar to the Parker and maybe a bit better. The rounding of the combs as both razors have make them very comfortable. The Fatip OC is similar and is all brass. If you buy the Fatip and put the Parker 26C cap on it you have one of the best open comb razors imaginable. Less aggressive than the Fatip and more aggressive than just the 26C by itself. Rounded combs are a key to comfort in my opinion.

I went ahead and bought the Maghard OC V2 and have to say I'm blown away by the quality of the shaves I'm getting. I've only had 4 shaves with it but it performs even better than the Parker 26c and I love the MR7 hande. It has the perfect dimensions and weight for me. I'm considering ordering another razor just in case anything happens to this one or they decide to discontinue for some reason.

I considered getting the ikon 101 but I just couldn't get myself to like the idea of the dual comb. Especially because people kept saying that the open and closed comb sides were not equally aggressive.
Thanks for the input and suggestion though!!

The 101 is equally aggressive from comb to bar side in my experience.
