Shavette Overview<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are in the market for a shavette there are many options to choose from so it can be difficult to determine which option is best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Parker SR1 is a decent choice for a first shavette because the brand has a pretty good reputation, it is built with stainless steel, and the overall quality is at least as good as other competitors in this price range. However, it is a bit more expensive than some other options that offer similar quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something to point out is that many competitors will also include anywhere from 5 to 100 razor blades (typically Derby) with the purchase of their shavette and they often do it for a price that is less than the Parker SR1 alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for maximum dollar value, there are better options than the Parker SR1.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Boxed-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Parker SR1 in original box\" class=\"wp-image-1665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Boxed-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Boxed-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Boxed-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Boxed-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Boxed-2048x1153.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Parker_SR1_Specifications\"><\/span>Parker SR1 Specifications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s get into the details of this particular shavette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that this razor represents the average quality and material that you are likely to find in this price range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weight\"><\/span>Weight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Parker SR1 weighs 1.7 ounces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Material\"><\/span>Material<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Parker SR1&#8217;s handle and razor arm are made from stainless steel while brass is used for a couple of small details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Size\"><\/span>Size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Parker SR1 is 5.75 inches long from tip to tang when in the closed position.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Closed-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Parker SR1 unboxed in the closed position\" class=\"wp-image-1666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Closed-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Closed-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Closed-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Closed-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Closed-2048x1153.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Replacement_razor_blades_for_the_Parker_SR1\"><\/span>Replacement razor blades for the Parker SR1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Parker SR1 can use any double-edge razor blade made for a safety razor once it has been snapped in half.

However, the use of other metal types (brass) on some of the accent pieces could cause problems long term, especially around the hinge areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with all razors, it is best to keep store this one in a clean and dry place when not in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ease_of_use\"><\/span>Ease of use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The design and use of the Parker SR1 will be very similar to other shavettes on the market because it uses the same traditional style as the others. With shavettes, there are three main areas to look at when it comes to ease of use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Blade clip &#8211; <\/strong>basically, how easy is it to load a blade into the razor. In this case, the mechanism is easy to use and feels very secure once locked.<\/li><li><strong>Weight &#8211; <\/strong>the total weight of the razor is important as it will impact the control you have over the razor during shaving. This razor is on the lighter end of the spectrum which will minimize fatigue but reduce overall control.<\/li><li><strong>Balance &#8211; <\/strong>once the razor is unfolded, it is important for the weight to be evenly balanced to maintain proper control during the shave. This razor is fairly well balanced and shouldn&#8217;t cause any issues.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1441\" src=\"https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Open-edited-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Parker SR1 shavette opened to show razor blade clip\" class=\"wp-image-1673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Open-edited-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Open-edited-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Open-edited-2-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Open-edited-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Open-edited-2-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/imustacheyoutoshave.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Parker-SR1-Open-edited-2-2048x1153.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Of course, this is also a very subjective area so your best bet is to put your hands on a few different razors to evaluate your preferences for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comfort\"><\/span>Comfort<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another subjective area, comfort also includes things like the shape of the tang and any grip built into the body of the razor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This razor is average on all counts &#8211; the tang is long enough to comfortably hold one finger but two fingers might be uncomfortable.
