* Version 3 is Now Available with decreased blade gap on the lower settings and improved precision, efficiency and blade alignment for a smoother shave. *
Parker's Adjustable Injector Razor is precision engineered to provide you with a smooth and irritation free shave. This single blade razor provides close and comfortable shaves with fewer ingrown hairs and razor bumps when compared to multi blade cartridge razors since it cuts the hair directly at the surface. With Parker's adjustable design, it's easy to customize your shave by simply turning the knob on the top of the razor. For the mildest shave, adjust the safety bar to a setting 1 which has a minimal blade gap. For a moderately aggressive shave, adjust to a setting 5 for the maximum blade gap (or try somewhere in between).
Injector razors have a blade loading system which is simple once you get the hang of it. You will be rewarded with a remarkably close and comfortable shave thanks to our single blade, adjustable design.
* Comes loaded with one Injector Blade and an additional Cartridge containing 20 Parker injector blades. * Please use caution when unboxing.

For the best shave experience, follow these basic tips:
- Prepare your skin for shaving – a great time to shave is after a hot shower.
- Use a quality shave soap or cream to lubricate and protect your skin from the blade, lessening irritation. Ideally, use a shave brush to lift the facial hair and more evenly dispense the lather.
- Let the razor do the work – apply little pressure when shaving with our injector razor, as the blades are quite sharp. Be mindful to take it slowly and use a shallow angle, such as 10-15 degrees. The top of the head should lay flat against your skin with this shallow angle. Shave with the grain for more sensitive skin types. If you’re looking for the closest shave, shave against the grain on your second pass, with a fresh lather applied for extra protection.
- The amount of time each blade will last varies from individual to individual, however the average is approximately 3-7+ uses out of each blade. Once shaving starts to feel rough and the blade drags over your skin, it is time to change the blade.
- Experiment with the razor until you achieve your most comfortable shave – enjoy the moment!
Instructions for Loading the Blade:
- The blade case/holder is called the “Injector” and the sliding tab on top is called the “Blade Loader”. The part that goes into the razor to load the blade is called the “Stem” or “Insert Key”.
- Hold the razor by the handle with the head up with one hand and insert the “insert key” into the razor’s slot opening on the rear of the razor head with your other hand as far as it will go using mild force.
- Slide the blade loader forward all the way to insert a new blade into the razor. At the same time, this will push the old blade out of the razor.
- Pull out the injector from the razor after you have inserted the new blade.
- Discard the old blade in the used blade section on the bottom of the blade case.
- Make sure that the new blade is centered and resting against the two small blade stops. If it is not, the razor will not work properly.
- Start shaving with the adjustment knob at a lower setting, using a shallow angle with minimal pressure.
- Once you get the hang of it, start experimenting with dialing different settings (#1 is the mildest suitable for more sensitive skin & #5 is the most aggressive, providing the closest shave). Find the level of aggression that works best for you for the most comfortable shave.

Best in the market today for the price.
This is my second order. I have always enjoyed using this type of injector shaver with the adjustable blade exposure settings. I have been used to the adjustable Schick Injector from the late 70s of which I have two and these two Parkers are an addition to my collection of adjustable Injector Razors. They just shave marvelously well espcially when one has not shaven for a week and the beard has grown long. Always a clean shave with the Parker Adjustable Injector Razor. A must to own if you use the wet shaving method.

Parker Adjustable Injector Razor
VERY nice razor. Mild to moderate, but not aggressive. I like it better than my Schick G. Handle is easy to hold on to and guide. Adjuster lever is easy and smooth. Nice looking razor too. I'm glad I bought it, and recommend it to others who aren't looking for an aggressive razor,

Intro to injector razors, love it
I've been shaving with Double-edged razors since 2008. At the time, I was simply fed up with the Gillette cartridge prices. Over the years, I'd seen mention of injectors, but simply didn't want to buy a vintage razor that was mostly plastic. This month, I bought two injector razors that are new supply. An all stainless model from another company, and this Parker adjustable. The Parker adjustable has been a real pleasure to shave with. The key was getting rid of the included blade and replacing it with a new one from the cartridge, I also bought some additional Schick blades off amazon. So far the razor has been great for shaving my face as well as some "manscaping." The adjustment is great to be able to go from super-mild to borderline aggressive. I find 3.5-4.5 to be ideal for shaving my beard and I get irritation free shaves with two passes. I have to say I can shave faster (with less care) with this style of razor. As far as ease of shaving, I think this is as easy if not easier than using modern cartridge razors, with the cost advantage of cheap disposable replacement blades.

Parker Safety Razor
Outstanding value for a razor and pack of blades. I don’t shave every day, but on the days I need a reliable shave that looks clean, doesn’t annoy me with clogging, and can be quickly and easily replaced, I reach for this one. Well, this is the only one I have now. It satisfies me so much that threw out my final Harry’s 5-blade razor head and will most likely be giving away the handle for it, along with the travel case/bumper. I’ve only used the blades that come with the product when you order it, and they’ve done well enough for me. Better than any other shave option I’ve tried up to this point. I will most likely turn my sights to some Japanese twin blade injector razor blades when I run out. Amazing product. Highly recommend it!

I haven't had this good of a shave in years!!!
You would think that up to five edge bonded blades with the fancy safety edge would do a better job. They don't. Also with a Parker it takes less time to get a good close shave.

So -So
The overall quality of the razor is just so-so. Metal bending a fairly rudimentary and the plastic part on the handle feels cheap. Shave with included razor, as noted by others, is very rough. I also tried with a Chick, which was better, but I could not get a real close shave even at setting 5. Finished with a Vokshod DE in a Variant - much better.

Parker Adjustable Injector Razor
I just completed my first shave with the Parker Adjustable Injector razor, my first shave with an injector razor ever, and recieved an excellent shave. My skin is quite sensitive, I cannot use cartridge razors or electric shavers, but I found Double Edge (DE), Single Edge (SE), and now injector razors resolve my shaving issues. This Parker Adjustable Razor, set to #3, mid-range aggressiveness, allowed me to not only perform my usual 3 pass shave (with the grain, accross the grain, accross the grain opposite), I was also able to shave against the grain without any irritation, nicks, or razor burn. This razor is light in weight, but still feels balanced not requiring any pressure to shave well. This razor is excellent in performance and cost making it a great value. I recommend this razor.

Parker Adjustable Injector Razor
Solidly built and well performing razor with one caveat. Don't use the blades included with the razor. They are not sharp enough for the way the razor is designed and it performs poorly with them. Use a a sharper blade like a Schick branded injector blade and the razor is a winner instead.
