Parker SRX Stainless-Steel Shavette Straight Razor

$26

Shavette | Weight: 2.3 ounces | Handle: Folding | Blades: 5 Parker blades included

For less than $30, you can get this shavette from Parker. Like the Dovo, it’s an all-metal, stainless-steel shavette, but it has a little more weight to it (as you can see from the specs above.) Ruscetta — who uses this Parker razor on all of his clients — tells me it locks blades into the handle better than any other shavette he’s tried. “The blade snaps in between these two pieces, and it really holds it tight,” Ruscetta says. He points out that, in general, it’s really well constructed and the details are carefully considered. For instance, the two posts that align the blade are made of attractive and long-lasting copper. Valcin, who prefers the Dovo but is also a fan of the Parker, tells me it affords him great precision with his clients.
