Product Overview

The Parker 65R is a three piece double edge safety razor built on a genuine brass frame with dark gray and gold accent plating and a sandstone texture. The handle unscrews from the head, so the razor separates into a handle, top cap and base plate for blade changes and cleaning.

Parker publishes a weight of 3 3/4 oz and a length of 4 in, which places it at the heavier end of the Parker three piece range.

The sandstone texture is a coarse surface treatment rather than a machined knurl, and the gold accents pick out details against the dark gray body.

Product Specifications

Three Piece Design and Blade Changes

A three piece razor comes apart into three separate components: the handle, the top cap and the base plate. Unscrewing the handle releases the top cap, the blade sits between the top cap and the base plate, and screwing the handle back on clamps the assembly together.

Because every part separates, the head can be rinsed thoroughly and dried, and there is no hinge or spring mechanism inside the head to wear or seize.

Who This Razor Is Best For

Weight and Shaving Feel

At 3 3/4 oz over 4 in the 65R is a heavy razor on a full length handle, so the weight of the razor does more of the work and less pressure is needed from the hand.

How a razor feels is subjective and varies from one shaver to another. Beard type, blade choice, lather and technique all affect the result, so treat these descriptions as a general guide rather than a promise about your own shave.

Getting the Best from Your Razor

1. Prepare the skin first. Many shavers find a hot shower or a warm damp towel before the shave makes a difference.
2. Build lather with a shave soap or cream. A shave brush lifts the hair and spreads the lather more evenly.
3. Let the razor do the work and apply very little pressure. Hold the head at a shallow angle to the skin rather than pressing it flat.
4. Take the first pass with the grain, then reduce further on later passes if you want to.
5. Rinse the head under running water between passes rather than tapping the razor on the sink.
6. Change the blade once it starts to feel rough or drag. Blade life varies between individuals.

Care and Storage

Rinse the razor under warm running water after every shave and shake the water off. Take the head apart from time to time and rinse the top cap, base plate and handle threads so that soap does not build up. Dry the razor and leave it where air can reach it rather than in a closed cabinet or a sealed travel tube.

The finish is plated. Avoid abrasive polishes, scouring pads and strong household cleaners, which can cut through a plated finish.

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.
