Parker Safety Razor Type Butterfly Twist-to- Open  Three-Piece  Adjustable  Semi-Slant
Description

Butterfly razors have hinged plates that twist to open to allow convenient access to the blade.

 

Three-piece razors disassemble into three separate pieces for easy cleaning. The top and base of the head twist off from the handle of the razor.  Within the 3-Piece designs, there are open comb and closed comb head choices.  The blade gap can be adjusted by turning the knob on the bottom of the razor. This allows you to customize the razor from mild to aggressive at the twist of the dial.  The Parker "Semi-Slant" double edge safety razor has the advantages of a slant bar razor (more cutting surface on each whisker due to the blade angle) without the aggressiveness and dramatic blade exposure associated with other slant razors.

 Benefits Easy blade changes by twisting the handle  - moderate aggressiveness The three-piece design allows for extremely precise blade alignment and a slightly more aggressive shave with the closed comb vs. a milder shave with the open comb head. Perfect for beginners and advanced shavers because exposure can be controlled and set to individual preferences  The blade angle is torqued so the razor cuts the hair at an angle instead of straight on, resulting in a very efficient shave. Great for those with thicker, more coarse hair, as well as for wet shavers with sensitive skin
