Product Description
Enjoy a genuine Parker Safety Razor and 100 Sharp Stainless blades for a Barbershop shave at home! This razor has the classic TTO ("twist to open") design. This model is a medium weight razor - It weighs about 1.8 ounces.When the handle of the razor is twisted, the top opens like a butterfly exposing the compartment where the blade is inserted. The razor body is made of brass and is Nickel plated. We have found the Sharp blades make an excellent combination with this razor. The Sharps are a world class blade that deliver a very comfortable shave. Our barbershop clientelle continue to rave about the Sharps. Whether you are an experienced wet-shaver of new to shaving with a double edge razor, we believe this combination of the Parker 86R and the Sharp Stainless blades make an excellent combination! Many still prefer these Double Edge Razors to the double and triple edge razors which are sold today. The shave can't be beat and the cost is much more economical than the cartridges razor blades that go for several dollars each! See for yourself while sometimes the old way is the best way! If you are looking for a new and usable Safety Razor and blades, this offering will more than please!

Bravo January 7, 2009
I had gotten the parker 22R, 86R, both meaty dbl edged safety razors, with no minimal pressures needed as the heads are counterweighted for near perfect balances. I was amazed on the weights, and I am beyond satisfied with glee. Jumping for Joy literally, I was conteplating the Merkurs, but I had seen that the Parker's caught my eye on price/heads and similiar stuffs that my pops/grandpops had when I was young. I was quite shocked how fast it had arrived all the way out here, in the sticks. And I'm genuinely happy that this retailer has superb shipping despite my order in the New Year holidays. A+++. If your looking for less work, try the 22R or 86R.. The 22R has a little longer shaft, and has a nice weight on the head. The 86 is short shafted and a heavier field than the 22R, in shaft and head. Overall I am beyond satisfied on my choices. And whats not to like 7 plat blades + 100 more blades. Thank you for offering that deal. Cheers , I will continue to shop for my personal grooming needs here.
Smaller than it looks, but size isn't everything. January 5, 2009

The actual razor is about 4 1/4 inchs long and about 1 1/4 inchs wide across the cutting face. About the same size of a typical disposable. The weight is what got my attention first, mainly because using plastic razors felt like I was shaving with air or a little twig. Too light to feel what's going on, resulting in little nicks and cuts. This razor glides over your skin taking all the hairs with it, once you perfect your angle. Feels sturdy in your hand, like a good tool.
You do need to practice a couple times to get the angle of attack just right; too little and the blade doesn't cut effectively, too much and you're shaving skin. You need to get a slicker shaving soap than the standard foam and gels or the razor has a tendency to slow down and drag almost. The drag effect seems to annoy my skin somewhat, so I switched over to a tea tree oil cream I picked up in Publix for about $5. Very slick stuff, almost like lotion but with more body.
Shaving is just a couple short strokes and the deed is done. Practice is good for under your jawline however, takes a bit to get the angle just right.

I bought this razor for my husband. He constantly complained about the performance of the numerous brands of disposable razors he had tried. He had been looking for one of these razors in the stores. Needless to say, you can find the blades but not the razors. So as a last resort we decided to look on line to see if we could find one. Well, I can tell you that there are plenty to choose from on line, but the reason this one caught our eye is because you get free shipping and 100 sharp stainless blades, which is a real bargain. We received this product within three days after ordering. My husband joked that he would probably be wearing a roll of toilet tissue on his face after shaving with it. I am happy to say that there was no cuts and that he was very pleased with the close shave he got. He said that the shave was smooth and there was no pulling like he usually experienced with even a new disposable razor. The razor is built sturdy and has a smooth open and close action. In summary, this is a well built razor, you get a smooth, close shave and you get free shipping and 100 blades. What a deal!!

I received this razor as a birthday gift when I decided I wanted to give wet shaving a try. From my limited experience, it seems to be a very fine razor. It is a very sturdy construction. The twisting action for loading and unloading the blades makes it a very easy razor to use! You simply set in the blade, turn the handle, and it properly locks the blade into a comfortable shaving position. It takes a little practice to get used to shaving with this type of razor if you're used to modern safety razors, but it is well worth it! The best angle to hold the razor with regard to the face seems to be about a 45 degree angle. The quality of the shave is great. You can get a baby-smooth shave with no irritation after practice. This is a great razor to buy for someone interested in this type of shaving, and will likely serve them well for many years!
