Product Overview

The Parker AeroShave is a three piece closed comb double edge safety razor machined from 6061 aluminum. It is offered with two handle lengths, Classic and Long, and both share the same head.

Parker publishes a blade gap of 0.59 mm, a blade angle of 45 degrees and a positive blade exposure of 0.015 mm. The finish is sandblasted high grade anodized silver with a green coloured safety bar plate, and a washer is fitted inside the handle so that the handle does not brush against the safety bar plate.

The Classic handle measures 3.3 in (84 mm) for a total weight of 1.38 oz (39 g). The Long handle measures 3.8 in (96 mm) for a total weight of 1.5 oz (42 g). One pack of five Parker double edge blades is included. Parker does not publish a country of origin for this model, so none is stated here.

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

Handle Options and Shaving Feel

The AeroShave is machined from 6061 aluminum rather than steel or brass, so it is a light razor for its size. Parker publishes a blade gap of 0.59 mm with a 45 degree blade angle and a positive blade exposure of 0.015 mm. The Classic handle is 3.3 in (84 mm) at 1.38 oz (39 g) and the Long handle is 3.8 in (96 mm) at 1.5 oz (42 g), and the head is identical on both.

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 anodized aluminum rather than a plated coating. Rinse and dry the razor after use and keep abrasive cleaners and scouring pads away from the anodizing.

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.
