Parker SRPBA Shavette

Parker SRPBA Shavette has a heavyweight stainless steel blade arm with elegant black finish, in addition to a finished wood handle – not lower quality aluminum. Many have told us that our shavette razors perform just like a straight razor — except that there is no honing or sharpening required. Just pick your favorite double edge blade, snap it in half, and insert it into the razor. It’s that simple! If you prefer, we also carry several brands of blades already pre-cut.

Shavettes aka disposable/replaceable blade straight razors are great tools with no need for sharpening, honing, stropping or oiling. Just put in a suitable razor blade and you’re good to go. They can easily give extremely close shaves, but can also be very comfortable too in good hands. Shavettes are also great for finding the characteristics of a specific razor blade since everything is more prominent while shaving with shavettes compared to safety razors. They are also great starters in straight razor world. It’s a very clever idea to gain some experience with shavettes before proceeding to real straight razors. As they are much more serious tools.
