Parker SRX Straight Razor – All Stainless Steel Barber Razor with Clip-Type Blade Holder for Disposable Blades – Ideal for Precision Wet Shaving at Home or Barbershop – Iconic Brand

As a licensed cosmetologist who occasionally cleans up my boyfriend’s lineup and beard, I can say this product is excellent. It’s sharp, professional-grade, and made with heavy, durable material. Even after accidentally leaving it in a damp ziplock bag while traveling, it didn’t rust at all. The replacement blades are super convenient, one blade lasts through a few uses on one person before needing to be swapped out. The design makes it really easy to insert and remove the blades, and the secure backing ensures the razor stays firmly in place during use. Highly recommend this if you're looking for a quality straight razor for home.

I bought this due to the reviews, the weight, the price and the fact that sharpening tools were not needed. The weight is like a true straight razor. I just let the razor do the work. No pressure needed. The Parker is a well made unit. No need to sharpen and strop like the old days. It had been years since I used a straight, so I thought I'd give this a try. Works great. Like a bike, right back to using both hands on both sides of the face. No cuts. Fits in my hands perfectly. Does not slip. No need to get the handle wet when using. CARE IS NEEDED when opening the blade lock to insert or remove the blade. If you do this wrong, you will pay. It is tricky. Just be patient and careful. I use my fingernails to open but using another item might be better (small screwdriver, butter knife). This is my only peeve with this unit. I tried to press back on the lock lever on the spine, when unlocked, to see if it would open easier while prying the two halves apart. It did not work. If the manufacturer improved this so it was easier to open, then it would be near perfect. Other than that, I really like this unit. I would say to teach yourself not to grab for the blade if dropped. Something we had to learn it the trades. Just practice with the razor and a small piece of tin foil ( make shift blade) over a towel in the sink-like you are loading the razor with a blade. The idea is teach yourself not to instinctively grab for them if dropped. Just saying. Also watch some of Lynn Abrams videos on using a straight razor if your are a newbie. I personally did not like the blades that came with the razor. Seemed dull to me, but, so did others. I have a very stiff and thick beard. Bought a sample pack of double edge blades and tried several. For me, the Feather Platinum and Astra Platinum blades and this unit kick butt.

I have had this straight razor for about a year and a half and I use it every 3 or so days. The quality of the metal is very nice and solid. It did get a little rusty where the blades sit on the two metal nubs but that's to be expected since it gets wet (you can probably avoid it by opening it up after each use and properly drying it off I'm just lazy). The blades are VERY sharp and I will sometimes dual use this as a packing knife to open boxes it's that sharp (I replace the blades after using it for such purposes). Overall solid razor, it never leaves razor burn on my face or other areas (I will leave those "other areas" to the imagination). I would definitely recommend this razor, it takes some time getting used to, just go slow and make sure you have warm water and soap over the areas you are shaving or you will feel a pinch while shaving.

I am a barber of 14 years and have handled a wonderful amount of straight razors. Time for this straight razor review WEIGHT: This will take a bit of time to get use-to. Unlike some of the other plastic/ metal Straight Razors (SS) that have a grace point for the amount of pressure you add; this one is all metal. The added weight can cause to add more pressure than you'd want or expect. This can be used as a plus by counter balancing the blade to adjust that grace point to create the great shave we are expecting from a nice quality piece. This can fatigue you greatly for dense facial hair since it requires more finessing. That being said, hitting the awkward angles of the face (depending on the structure you have) may require some practice. Old wisdom reigns here; let the tool do the work, counter balance and adjust the tang to grip your pinky STRUCTURE: the structure is great! the blade is not fully exposed and it does allow enough exposure to allow a good connection between the skin and blade. I feel like Parker got it spot on! when you load your blade in the shavette the two copper pins sit the blade wonderfully ***Pro Tip** (when you snap your full blade in half, load your blade with the bent portion face down towards the shavette, otherwise you may experience loading issues) ** when you close your shavette the spine will seal that blade in place! that grip will strengthen the blade and create a great angle to shave. SHARP THERE IS NO HEEL! most shavettes do not size the blade they load, into the final design. Parker is no different. the blade you load will not reach the heel which will allow you to only use the edge of the shavette. not a con but some real-estate Could have been used there. The SHANK: this is a little flat for the design itself. for how heavy the all metal adds to the design they would have made this portion a little more thicker to have a better grip and would have added a much more quality feel to the overall design TANG: love it! its a little long. its a little more safe, its a little extra its a little more legit! when you need to counter balance the tang can be a great tool that can help you reach better angles while keeping a better grip. PIVOT POINT: The pivot point is more snug than lose. the important take away is where you open it, is where it will stay. Personal opinion: at first getting use-to the weight caused some small razor burns and Knicks because I was use to lighter units but got use-to it by the 3rd shave. The low blade exposure doesn't allow me to sharpen edges like beards and hairlines because there's not enough exposure from the edge, to skin, to hair ratio. So personally I'd strictly use it to shave with minimal effort which is OK FOR ME! new guys can use this to create great muscle memory and good habits but id recommend something bit more forgiving in the grand scheme of things. pretty great unit

I used it as the first step of traditional single blade wetshaving. Got a bunch of cuts over the first few weeks. Don't worry if you do, keep at it, eventually you will get the skill to shave on wet skin without soap/lather too. Coming to the shavette, it is truly Stainless steel, though I think it is SS303 or SS304 rather than SS316. There are only two copper alloy pegs on which the blade gets aligned so that it does not move when pushed back by the body surface or hair (when it is being cut). And a plastic bush between the SS scales of the razor. Grip is fantastic and has a reassuring heft to it. ITs a very capable razor, which can elevate your shaving experience when used with the correct blade as per sharpness+smoothness. The blades are not recommended, as everyone's skin is different, I would rather recommend a blade sampler pack. I am happy with Gillette Super Thins, Gillette 7-o-clock SP (black), VI-John Chrome. This thing has only discoloured/dulled slightly as compared to July 2021 when I got it. I don't use it as frequently now as I prefer DE razors, but once in a while I use it to shave other body hair and sometimes on the wet face when I am too busy to enjoy the full shaving experience. Fantastic product, will recommend Parker razors. There is a group on reddit called Wetshavers_India. It's a fantastic resource for all things Shaving in India. My only advice is that you should be very careful when handling this (or ANY SHAVETTE). In the first few weeks, 3 cuts to my hands (both hands) simply because I wasn't careful enough. That's the best part. You LEARN to concentrate on your shaving technique when using a shavette. Else it is a very unforgiving mistress. The discipline helps you when you start using DE razors.

He buscado navajas de rasurar estilo barbería y la mayoría son muy siemples y no tienen diseño. Esta navaja es de acero inoxidable y tiene diseño que remite a este antiguo estilo de afeitado. Es facil de lavar y mantener limpia. La relación precio-calidad es muy buena. Estoy satisfecho con la compra.

Ein super qualitativ sehr hochwertiges Rasiermesser. Klingen können einfach gewechselt werden, damit sehr günstig im Unterhalt und die Rasur damit- vorausgesetzt man hat das richtig gelernt- ist unbeschreiblich gründlich. Das Messer liegt sehr gut in der Hand. Mein 16 jähriger Sohn nutzt es und möchte es nicht mehr missen. Ich kann es deshalb uneingeschränkt empfehlen

Product is so nice and the design is just perfect. I was a beginner at one stage and now I am a pro. But this one is just awesome. Comes with plenty of blades (each of them last very long). Handling with wet hands can be challenging sometimes but that could be any razors. Weight and material of the product make it best amongst the top other branded ones.

Devo dire che mi sono innamorato, avevo iniziato a farmi la barba con quello del nonno a 14 anni per gioco e ora quando l ho visto, dovevo averlo in mano mia. Non è da tutti ma sono soddisfazioni riuscire a farsi la barba con questo oggetto. Grazie mille a qualunque operaio in India che la creato.
