Parker 99R Chrome Super Heavyweight Long Handle Butterfly Safety Razor

For me, this is a razor of convenience--went I want to change blade quickly and don't have time for fine shaving work. I also prefer a heavier razor--at least 5 oz--so this is a liitle guy for me. Still, it is very attractive and convenient. I don't get the close shaves I get with my beefy gang, but it gets to share the shelf with them.

Great place to buy shave supplies! Parker 99R is a great razor!

I purchased this off eBay from super safetyrazors the other day. At first I had just started using safety razors along with EJ89L. I’m a head shaver and wow what a super close cut with the Parker 99R. I love the weight and length of it as I shave my bald head. I started off with an Astra Blade Blue and finish off with the feather blade to clean up. It is sure fun to experiment with the different blades. I thought I would like the EJ 89L better on my head, but I was wrong the Parker 99R is a great shaving device for bald guys like me!

This is one beautiful razor! Awesome sale!! Favorite seller!

The Parker 99R has a classic look and excellent quality. It has some weight to it but isn't overly heavy. The handles offers enough length for even large hands to get a good grip when shaving. The butterfly opening is smooth and effortless.

What a difference from the disposables I've been using for a few months.I went cheap when my razor broke due to operator error(I dropped it) but you can bet I'll never do that again! This is the only way!

I LIKE IT! Nice weight, good maneuvering, close shave with a thick coarse beard.

This is a very well constructed razor with good heft and well balanced. The chrome plating is very evenly applied, with only a little rippling on the end caps. The spiral grooves on the handle provide a good grip and the TTO mechanism operates smoothly. It's a mild to medium aggressive razor that provides a good shave. If you are looking for a well built, well priced modern TTO razor this is a great choice.

Very fine razor indeed. Nice and heavy. Good build quality. THanks

Now this is a shaver, chrome looks like it will last and butterfly is smooth.

The only reason I won't give this five stars is because I always believe there is room for improvement and nothing is absolutely perfect. That said I am enjoying this razor each and every day. The learning curve is fast, and with the right blade I am getting incredible shaves. Best of all I don't have to worry about throwing good money away on those expensive disposables anymore. Even my wife has been giving it a try now.

Heavy enough that you just glide it over your face,it does all the work for you:)
