Parker Safety Razor 99R Chrome Double-Edge Safety Razor — Solid Brass, Long Knurled Handle, Twist-to-Open

The Parker 99R is a heavyweight, chrome-plated butterfly-open double-edge safety razor built from solid brass for controlled, close wet shaves and easy blade replacement.

Designed for men who prefer traditional wet shaving, the Parker 99R combines a long textured handle, a twist-to-open butterfly head, and a durable chrome finish. It ships with five Parker premium platinum double-edge blades so you can start shaving right away. The razor’s weight and balance do much of the work, letting you use minimal pressure for precise, comfortable results.

How does the Parker 99R improve shaving control?

The 99R’s 4-ounce solid-brass construction gives the razor natural heft and balance, reducing the need to press into the skin. A longer, knurled handle adds security and precision for angle adjustments, even with wet hands.

• 4 ounces of solid-brass weight for steady, guided strokes
• 4-inch textured handle for non-slip grip and fine control
• Barber-pole knurling improves handling in soapy conditions

What makes blade changes simpler and safer?

The Parker 99R uses a twist-to-open (butterfly) head that flips open when you twist the base, allowing one-handed blade swaps without touching the cutting edge. This mechanism speeds replacements and reduces the chance of cuts compared with T‑bars or two-piece designs.

• Butterfly/TTO head opens quickly with a twist of the knob
• Drop-in access to standard double-edge blades for easy loading
• Secure closure keeps the blade aligned and stable during shaving

Is the Parker 99R durable and rust-resistant?

Constructed from solid brass and finished with chrome plating, the 99R resists corrosion and maintains its appearance longer than many cheaper razors. The sturdy build minimizes flex and wear so the razor can serve as a long-term grooming tool.

• Solid brass core for structural longevity and weight
• Chrome-plated exterior to resist rust and tarnishing
• Designed for daily use and reliable performance over time

Which blades can I use and what’s included?

The Parker 99R accepts any standard double-edge (DE) safety razor blade, giving you flexibility to test brands and edge profiles. The package includes five Parker premium platinum-coated DE blades so you can try the razor immediately.

• Compatible with all standard double-edge blades for variety and economy
• Includes five Parker premium platinum DE blades to start
• Change blades quickly with the TTO mechanism for consistent performance

Who is this for: The Parker 99R is aimed at men who want to upgrade from disposables or cartridges to a traditional safety razor, barbers seeking a durable tool, and experienced wet shavers who value precise control and a long-lasting finish. It’s especially well-suited for those with coarse or thick facial hair who prefer a heavier razor to let gravity and balance guide the stroke.
