It's time to ditch the plastic cartridge razors and give our all metal, plastic free Parker SoloEdge a try! The highly economical blade replacements are simply double edge blades snapped in half or we recommend our pre-cut double edge half blades for ease of loading since there is no blade curvature.

What's more, once the blade is securely *loaded in the slots, it will automatically have the perfect exposure so there is no need for any adjustment. The angle is intuitive to shave with, as it is similar to a cartridge razor angle in its design.

BLADE LOADING INSTRUCTIONS (see instructional video in the videos tab)
1. Twist the handle to unscrew the top cap of the razor. Please note that this is a two-piece razor, so the safety bar plate is an integral part of the handle.
2. After unscrewing the top cap, hold the razor straight (vertically) and *load the blade, ensuring that the two slots on each end of the safety bar plate hold the blade securely. The blade edges are sharp, so please handle with care.
3. Keep the razor straight and load the top cap again (twist the handle to screw the top cap back on). It is easiest to keep the blade secured by using one hand with a pinching grip to hold the top cap in place, while tightening the handle with your other hand. Once the handle stops rotating, check that the blade is secured, and the handle is tightened. Enjoy a close and comfortable shave!
*Note that there is now a 2.5 mm magnet built into the razor head that helps make blade loading even easier.

SoloEdge Delivers!
I had the opportunity of testing this razor prior to it's public release. I was extremely excited to see Parker - a well known and highly regarded brand, finally producing a budget minded, 1/2 DE Single Edge offering. The razor is surprisingly well balanced for the size of the head, and the process to load it is straightforward. I like that any Double Edge safety razor blade works with this design, and that it comes with some pre-cut Single Edge blades for testing. The shaves this far, going on 4 of them, have been surprisingly close - and consistently low-medium aggressive with a upper end of efficiency. The razor's pre-existing bevel makes each pass effortless and intuitive - eliminating guess work in hard to get to spots. No clogging or flow issues to report. In my opinion - for an entry level SE, under 50$, this is a excellent choice. The handle can be a tad Slippery at times (using alumn on your hands fixes it) and I do wish it could stand Vertically - but those minor issues are easy to overlook when you consider that this razor shaves as good as many MUCH more expensive offerings. Overall, I would personally say that the razor continues to impress me - and would make an excellent entry level or budget minded SE daily driver. If your a fan of Parker's typical skin feel and overall post shave - the SoloEdge will be a great fit. Received this product for review.

Solo Edge
This was better than I expected. I wasn’t sure how the larger head would do in my hands. It was well balanced and the head did most of the work. Great close shave.
