If you are looking for a close shave with an affordable and dependable razor, the Parker Safety Razor is a good choice. The Parker Safety Razor is available in many different kinds of models - and you can choose from a variety of different kinds of razors to find the right one - the one that you will personally find most comfortable to use.
Single blade safety razors that accept any razor blade are no longer manufactured in the United States of America but can be found in plenty in the American market. The Parker Razor is manufactured in India and Parker is among a few important companies that dominate the manufacture of razors and the market for razors internationally.
Traditionally, the Parker Safety Razor is designed to accept any razor blade - either single or double edged - depending on the model of the razor. The manufacture of this kind of razor was stopped in America in the 1970s when blade cartridges were introduced which were further designed to protect the skin from the blade. Moreover, blade cartridges were specific to specific models or at least brand names - and this helped increase profits.
The most common type of Parker Safety Razor found in the market is the double-edged safety razor. The model types 90R and 22R seem to be the preferred choices. Some people have also recommended the 91R, saying that gives an excellent shave where one is not required to apply too much pressure and that it is quite affordable.
Most models of the Parker razor blade are a little heavy - of course, whether one finds a razor heavy or light is very much dependent on the person using the razor blade - and have long handles to make shaving a comfortable experience. A small fraction of users has complained that the razor blade is aggressive and a little too heavy. Again, another small fraction of users has said that the razor is too light to hold comfortably while applying pressure for a smooth shave. A larger number of users have called the Parker a gentle razor - which gives a smooth and comfortable shave.
Some people have found that a Parker razor takes some time to wear into. The first few shaves happen to be slightly different and require some amount of effort whereas as one grows into his Parker Razor Blade, one begins to find it an extremely easy and comfortable razor to use, often preferring it to any other kind of razor.
Each Parker Safety Razor has an old world quality to its charm that adds to the experience of the shave. The Parker Razor is also available in Super-weight for those who prefer an added weight to their blades for that extra pressure.
Barbers prefer to use the Parker Safety Razor - and it is very convenient if one wants a professional barber shave. The Parker Razors have just the right build, shape and size for a professional shave and barbers tend to recommend the use of a Parker razor to their customers.
