Parker Safety Razor

Parker Safety Razor? Many won’t have heard of this type of razor because in today’s modern times it’s all about Gillette when it comes to shaving. The Mach 3 and other spin offs are king when it comes to popularity in the shaving world. We know shaving is a huge business; most men need to shave once if not twice a day to keep their face clean. One thing that has seen an increase is the money and time men now take to make sure they have a good shave. This has seen the increase of the old fashioned barber shave.

Barbers don’t use Mach 3’s to give customers a good shave, they tend to use the old fashioned 1 blade or the Double Edge Safety Razor. While the modern razors fight it out to see who can fit the most amount of blades into a razor cartridge, the simple classic razors can provide an even closer shave.

This is why the Parker Safety Razor has become popular as a lot of barbers use this brand of safety razor and recommend it to customers. However many people are sceptical that a 2 blade safety razor is no match for a close shave compared to the 3,4,5 blade razors. So here are some advantages of owning a Safety Razor:

• Cost – While in the beginning buying a Safety Razor as opposed to the Mach razors will be higher, over time the Double Edge Safety Razor will be cheaper. Once you buy the handle it will last your lifetime, meaning you only need buy blades which are far cheaper than cartridge blades.
• Blade Quality – The blades you buy for your DE Razor will be highly quality and will remain sharper for longer. This means you get a better shave for longer.
• Shave quality – When used properly with good technique and good quality shaving cream, you will get a much closer, smoother and consistent shave.

Those advantages should be enough for you to want to go out and buy one straight away. If you do go looking to buy one now, check the internet first you can find good deals and offers which will save you even more money.

Just be careful when you first start to use these types of razors as without good technique to you end up cutting yourself a lot. Take your time and you will no doubt get one of the best shave your have ever had.

If you want a recommendation then you can’t go wrong with a Parker Safety Razor, top quality and if you shop around online they can be bought for a fantastic price.
