Reusable Shavers – get low waste with your shaving with Parker Safety Razors

What's the difference and how to use...

Safety Razors have been around for ages, however are now seeing a resurgence in popularity as more and more people refuse to buy disposables.

A great reason to shop in store is to see and feel the differences between each of our range of razors. 

What's the difference?

They all work very similarly, but have a unique feel. Our Parker Safety Razors are unisex reusable razors, suitable for face or body shaving. The razors come in a range of designs and styles- the main difference is the length/weight.

The 29L and 29L Pink are often marketed towards women, however all of the razors are unisex. We dont believe in pink-washing

The Parker 29L is a lighter-weight safety razor, available in chrome or pink finish and is the lightest at 82 grams, and is the longest too at 11.2cm which is considered to assist with manoeuvrability.This razor features a highly textured surface providing great grip in wet shower environments. 

The Parker 95R is a middle weight safety razor and weighs 86 grams, and a length of 11cm. This razor has a unique mirror-like chrome finish and is more suitable to dry shaving environments rather than the shower. It can get slippery when wet.

The Parker 99R is a heavyweight razor in chrome finish with a highly textured surface providing great grip in wet shower environments. This razor weighs 100 grams providing a more sturdy weight to work with. It is shorter at 10.2 cm long.

The Parker 76R is a heavyweight safety razor in a stylish anodised black with a highly textured surface providing great grip in wet shower environments. This razor is the heaviest of this range, weighing 113 grams providing a very sturdy weight to work with. It is shorter at 10.1cm long.

 

How to Use:

These razors have a butterfly door mechanism for changing blades which is activated by twisting the knob at the bottom of the razor.

When open, you can easily place the blade onto the razor and tighten the know to hold it safely in place. To hold the blades you can hold onto the non-sharp tabs at each end of the blade. We choose to use Astra or Shark double edge blades which are triple chrome plated for superior shaving and long-lasting sharpness.

When you need to replace the blade, you can collect them in a specially designed recycling tin, or collect in an old stainless steel can which you close to contain the blades.

As with any shaving, you should use a cream or lathering soap or shaving soap tin for best shaving results and to protect and hydrate your skin.
