Chrome Parker Razor

If you’re reading this then there’s a fair chance you’re thinking about taking your first step into the big, scary world of straight razor shaving. We’d just like to take this opportunity to let you know that you’ve chosen the perfect place to start. The Chrome Parker Razor is what is often known as a “shavette” and is hugely popular with professional barbers thanks to its sturdy stainless steel construction, well balanced handle and easily changeable blades.

As soon as you pick up the Chrome Parker Razor you can just feel the quality. The blade hinge is buttery smooth, the handle has a satisfying weight in your hand and the stainless steel finish just oozes class. But whether you’re a newbie to wet shaving or a seasoned pro you’ll just love having the ability to change blades with ease.

Most straight razors have a simple single blade – which you’ll need to keep in tip top condition between shaves by sharpening and cleaning regularly. Not the Chrome Parker Razor. It uses standard razor blades (you can buy single blades which will fit right in, but you can also use the more common double edge or DE blades snapped in half for much more choice – just make sure you snap them while they’re still in the packet!) which you can change as often as you like and try lots of different types. We’d recommend starting with something quite forgiving like Derby blades before trying anything super sharp like Feather blades.

So if you’re ready to enter the realms of slow, relaxing shaves and a super smooth face then the Chrome Parker Razor is just what you need.
