Product Overview

Parker’s flagship adjustable: the Variant Open Comb, a two-piece DE razor whose dial at the base of the handle runs settings 1 through 5, with 1 the mildest and 5 the most aggressive in Parker’s words, so one razor covers every beard, blade and day.

The frame is genuine brass at 4 inches and a full 4 oz., with extra knurling and a deeply ridged adjustment knob for control. The open comb head stretches the skin and channels stubble and lather through its teeth, which Parker points at daily shaves and several days of growth alike.

What This Razor Does

An adjustable ends the mildness gamble: dial 1 for a gentle first pass or sensitive days, dial up as the beard, the blade or your confidence demands. It is several razors in one, tuned with a twist.

Parker states the Variant is a precision tool perfect for beginner shavers and experts alike, that the dial adjusts blade exposure from 1, mildest, to 5, most aggressive, to suit facial hair thickness, skin type and experience, that the open comb stretches the skin for close, comfortable shaving on daily stubble or several days of growth, and that Parker has precision engineered safety razors for over 50 years. Those are Parker’s claims for its own razor.

Who This Is Best For

How To Load and Use

Unscrew the handle from the two-piece head, lay a double edge blade on the head, and screw it back together. Start at setting 1 or 2, shave with light pressure at around 30 degrees, and turn the base dial up or down between passes as your skin reports back.

Five Parker double edge blades are in the box; any standard DE blade from any maker fits thereafter.

Care and Storage

Rinse after each shave, dry the razor and its threads, and back the dial off its extremes for storage. Brass under electroplate wants drying, nothing more.

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.
