Parker are well known for manufacturing double edge razors since 1973 and have used their shaving expertise to create this affordable yet stylish and distinctive shavette.
The shavette is a close relative to the straight razor with the difference being that the blades can be changed, just like a safety razor. This means you don't have to worry about stropping and sharpening yet enjoy the closeness of a straight razor shave!
For guidelines on how to shave with a shavette please see our "How to use a Straight/Cut-Throat Razor" section of our FAQ, remembering that you won't need to strop or hone a shavette!
Have any burning questions you would like ask our wet shaving expert Aaron Wolfenbarger? Is shaving lather really important?, Should I shave with or against the grain? What causes razor bumps and how can I get rid of them? Feel free to ask any pressing question you want answering.
Author: Christopher Malivoire I bought the Parker 34R Shavette with the intention of using it purely to touch up my regular shave on areas I find it tricky to get super smooth. I found it a bit tricky to use at first, but after a few weeks practice I've been rewarded with the smoothest (and, most importantly, blood free) shave of my life. This has now replaced over £60 worth of DE razors to become my daily shaver, and at just over a tenner is a complete steal. Stop reading this and buy one now!
