Double Edge Razor Short Handle

Model : 87R

The 87R uses the same head as Parker’s other twist-to-open (TTO) razors, so the shave should be familiar to those who have used other Parker TTO models. The difference here is the handle. It’s both very nicely balanced (IMO) and has an attractive yet “grippy” texture. At three inches it’s one of the shortest handles in the current Parker line (the 94R three piece razor is also three inches and the 65R three piece is four inches). It may be a fraction lighter than the other short handled Parkers (3oz vs. 3.75 oz) but in actual use I think it is plenty heavy enough for maintaining good shave technique.

For those who are interested in the metallurgy, the razor is chrome plated over a brass frame.

Note: Product does not include blades.
