This razor is part of our collection of brand new manufactured Parker razors. A double edged safety razor such as this one uses a standard double edged blade and provides an extremely smooth, clean shave when paired with shave soap and a brush. This particular razor is a twist-to-open style, meaning that you twist the handle and that opens the head of the razor to remove and replace a blade. This razor weighs 83g and is suitable for new wet shavers and seasoned veterans alike and comes with a full “how to” sheet explaining how to get the best shave.
