Product Overview

Parker’s Japanese-style non-folding shavette: a stainless steel blade arm on a 6.7 inch handle at 1.6 oz., taking half of any standard double edge blade. Parker states the fixed design gives a consistent blade angle and constant contact with the skin.

A non-folding barber razor trades the folding romance for control: nothing pivots, so the angle you set is the angle you shave. Parker adds a non-slip grip, easy blade replacement with no sharpening ever needed, and a blade protector cap in the box.

What This Razor Does

A shavette gives the straight-razor shave without the straight-razor upkeep: snap in half a DE blade and the edge is always factory sharp, with no strop, no hone, and a fresh edge for pennies whenever you want one.

Parker states the Director’s fixed blade angle provides consistent contact with the skin and simplifies the shaving process, that the stainless steel resists rust and corrosion, that the ergonomic design reduces fatigue, and that blade replacement is easy with no sharpening needed. Those are Parker’s claims for its own razor.

Who This Is Best For

How To Load and Use

Snap a standard double edge blade in half in its wrapper, load one half into the blade arm, and shave with short, shallow strokes at a low angle, keeping the skin taut with the off hand. Cap the blade with the protector when done.

Half DE blades are everywhere and cost pennies; every brand of standard DE blade works, per Parker’s published fit.

Care and Storage

Rinse and dry after each shave, and swap blades rather than ever sharpening: the stainless arm needs nothing more. Dispose of used halves in a sealed metal container.
