Product Overview

The 29L is the long handled butterfly in Parker’s line. At 4.4 in. it is noticeably longer than the usual three and a half to four inches, which is what people with larger hands or a longer reach under the jaw are usually looking for.

Parker lists a genuine brass frame with chrome plating and a heavily textured handle, at 2.9 oz. The texture matters more on a long handle than a short one, because there is more of it to hold and more of it covered in soap.

Key Features

• ✓ Long 4.4 in. handle, for larger hands or a longer grip
• ✓ Butterfly open head: one twist of the handle opens it for a blade change
• ✓ Genuine brass frame with chrome plating, 2.9 oz.
• ✓ Heavily textured handle for grip when wet and soapy
• ✓ Black badger shave brush and a chrome stand included
• ✓ Takes any standard double edge blade

What Is Included

• ✓ One Parker 29L long handle butterfly open double edge safety razor
• ✓ One Parker black badger shave brush
• ✓ One chrome shave stand for the razor and the brush
• ✓ One pack of five Parker double edge blades, added by Wish4Blades

Parker does not supply blades with its double edge razors, so Wish4Blades adds one pack of five Parker double edge blades: the razor is ready for its first shave.

Product Specifications

What This Set Does

Handle length is the specification people most often get wrong on a first razor. A short handle puts the head close to the hand and suits a compact grip; a long one gives leverage and room, and makes the underside of the jaw and the neck easier to reach without twisting the wrist. At 4.4 in. the 29L is firmly in the second camp.

A stand keeps the razor or brush organized and allows a rinsed brush to dry in an open, ventilated position between shaves. That is the practical job it does: everything has a place, nothing is left lying on a wet counter, and the brush sits in the open air rather than on a shelf.

Who This Is Best For

Getting Started

Twist the handle to open the head, drop the blade in flat, twist it closed and check the blade sits square before the first pass.

A new badger knot may shed a few hairs over the first several uses. That settles down.

Care and Storage

Rinse the razor after every shave, open the head briefly so water runs through, and shake it dry. Rinse the brush until the water runs clear, squeeze gently rather than wringing it, and hang it on the stand to dry.

Keep unused blades dry and stored in their original packaging. Place used blades in a sealed Razor Blade Bank or another puncture-resistant container. Never place loose blades directly in household trash.
