Parker 78R Double Edge Safety Razor with 5 Safety Razor Blades Women Mens Safety Shaving Reusable Plastic-Free Graphite

Amazing razor, shaves very smoothly. Read more

Well balanced, substantial and goes after the whiskers. I have a medium beard not that heavy. For me--with good preparation (lots of hot wash cloth, good slick soap, maybe even a pre-shave oil) this can be nearly a one-pass razor. Maybe mid aggressive and can select different blades to get more aggressive. This blade tracks solid, and not even a nick from it. As you go along, it rinses so fast!! The grip is so well designed you are not gonna lose your grip. The balance is like a darn gyroscope!! Parker makes superb razors and style-wise they are light years ahead of the rest. Solid, sexy, elegant. I ordered the gunmetal finish too--it's coming. Be advised: I am a Parker fanboy and have several. Read more

Feels good in the hand and not aggressive. Read more

I think this razor is absolutely excellent. Work great with any blade I put in it. I even bought a second one as a backup. After using almost 20 different blades I have to say these blades are fantastic as well. Read more

I’ve been shaving with a safety razor for 5-7 years now. I shave my head and face. The razors I had in the past (King C. Gillette and Dorco Prime) were good, but I wanted something a little more aggressive and with a little more texture on the handle. The Parker 78R is pretty much everything I was looking for without spending a lot of money. It is more aggressive, but by the second or third shave, I had no nicks. With every new razor there is a small learning curve, so this can be expected. The handle and razor design are great. Plenary of grip, the head is relatively small, and the razor blade is covered on the ends. I highly recommend this razor. Read more

I’ve been a wet shaver for over 10 years. I have some really nice stuff at this point. I wanted a cheaper 3 piece razor to keep in my travel kit, after going back to a cartridge razor while on vacation. Enter the Parker 78R. It had some decent reviews on several shaving channels on the tube. I loved the color and the knurling. The weight was nice and heavy. However, at first the threads were super stiff and wouldn’t unscrew. Then I noticed they were slightly rusted together. The pun metal color is already pealing off where the handle meets the head. And the shave… the shave is rough. 3 different blades, several different shave soaps. I haven’t had this many nicks since I started and it doesn’t really cut my whiskers efficiently. Could this be a good razor for a beginner? Maybe. But I would spend a little more and get a Merkur 34, Muhle R89 or Edwin Jagger 89. It’s usable, but barely. It looks cool. 2 stars. Read more

For years I thought about ditching my 5 bladed shave razor and was looking around for a Safety Razor. I had seen countless Amazon and online video reviews and suggestions. And I came to Parker and heard this was the one that was beginner friendly. So I took a chance and got it along with traditional wet shaving supplies. I had gotten out of the shower. Got it all ready and used it for the first time today. They were right. This was easy to use. And after a few passes my face was nicely shaved. Admittedly I missed a few spots around my neck. Still not bad for my first time. If you wanna get into traditional wet shaving and need to decide on a starter safety razor. Go for this. Make sure to look up how to properly shave with it and how to take care of it. Read more

I paid full price for a brand new product that proved to come in a package that was "stitched" with scotch tape. As for the razor, it came in black even though I ordered in (shiny) chrome. The funny part is that even on the used box one could still read: product - new and color - chrome. Read more
