Product Overview

Everything wet shaving is, in one box: Parker’s 99R heavyweight butterfly razor, a black badger brush, Parker’s stoneware apothecary mug, Taconic’s Urban Woods shaving soap, and ten blades split between Astra Platinum and Parker Premium so the first month is also a blade comparison.

The 99R brings its published 3.8 inches and 4.0 oz. of chrome-plated brass and the knurled heavyweight feel Parker names. The SMB mug, verified on Parker’s page, holds soaps to 3 inches round, exactly the size of Taconic’s 4 oz. Urban Woods puck, which lathers in it per Taconic’s own design.

Product Specifications

What This Set Does

A safety razor set answers the setup question in one box: the razor, the brush that builds the lather, and the stand or mug that keeps the kit ready. One blade at a time, weight doing the work, and refills that cost pennies.

Per Parker, the 99R delivers the shave quality that made it an immediate success, and the SMB mug’s tapered stoneware builds lather with any brush while holding heat. Per Taconic, the Urban Woods soap creates an incredible lather and suits all skin types, and its 3 inch puck fits Parker’s apothecary mug by name. The BKBB brush has no current Parker page, so its knot size is not stated. Ten loose DE blades are included, five Astra and five Parker.

Who This Is Best For

How To Load and Use

Twist the knob at the base of the razor and the butterfly doors open; lay a double edge blade flat on the head and close the doors. Lather with the brush, then shave with light pressure at around 30 degrees, letting the razor’s weight work.

Ten blades are included across the two brands; each is double edged, so flip before you swap. Load the soap puck into the mug and lather there, per Taconic’s design.

Care and Storage

Rinse razor and brush after each shave, hang the brush knot-down to dry, and dry the razor before it is racked.

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.
