Vintage Surgical Straight Razor with Pouch

Parker 31R Straight Razor

A perfect introduction to straight razor shaving, the Parker SR1 Barber Straight Razor keeps everything simple and straightforward. The handle is made of sturdy stainless steel, curved nicely to fit well in the shaver?s hand. Instead of the classic straight blade, the Parker SR1 uses replacement blades that securely lock into the blade head. Either single edge blades or a double edge replacement blade snapped in half fit perfectly, the shaving edge inexpensively renewed without the work or expense of stropping and honing a cutthroat blade. For the man who has been testing the waters of traditional shaving with a double edged safety razor, this option allows the novice straight shaver to experiment with a range of blade angles not possible with a DE. This reasonable razor can also be a good solution for a backup or travel razor for those more experienced.
