Parker's Solo edge have been around for a few months and have already built up a pretty good reputation as a great shaver, as we have not tried it we are simply going to copy the information from their website and we will add onto that at a later stage. Off the bat we love the styling, clean lines and minimalistic design gives it a very ergonomic and modern apperance. We are also stocking the single edge blades for these, so if you dislike snapping blades or those perky ears that stand up when you have done so, these may be the perfect partner for your new aquistion. The blades are R290 for a pack of 100. Get them here.

Here goes; 

The two-piece Parker SoloEdge single edge safety razor is the perfect safety razor for new and experienced wet shavers looking for the blade angle of a cartridge razor with the benefits of a safety razor. It’s time to ditch the plastic cartridge razors and give our all metal, plastic free Parker SoloEdge a try! The highly economical blade replacements are simply double edge blades snapped in half or we recommend our pre-cut double edge half blades for ease of loading since there is no blade curvature. These are very economical, plastic-free and widely available.

What’s more, once the blade is securely loaded in the slots, it will automatically have the perfect exposure so there is no need for any adjustment. The angle is intuitive to shave with, as it is similar to a cartridge razor angle in its design.

SoloEdge Safety Razor Benefits: Excellent weight & balance with a sleek head design for tight spots, built in efficient shaving angle, less skin irritation, economical & widely available blade replacements, eco-friendly, plastic-free razor and replacement blades.

BLADE LOADING INSTRUCTIONS (See Instructional Video Below)

1. Twist the handle to unscrew the top cap of the razor. Please note that this is a two-piece razor, so the safety bar plate is an integral part of the handle.
2. After unscrewing the top cap, hold the razor straight (vertically) and load the *blade, ensuring that the two slots on each end of the safety bar plate hold the blade securely as shown in the photo. The blade edges are sharp, so please handle with care.
3. Keep the razor straight and load the top cap again (twist the handle to screw the top cap back on). It is easiest to keep the blade secured by using one hand with a pinching grip to hold the top cap in place, while tightening the handle with your other hand. Once the handle stops rotating, check that the blade is secured, and the handle is tightened. Enjoy a close and comfortable shave!

*Note that there is now a 2.5 mm magnet built into the razor head that helps make blade loading even easier.

Parker Solo Edge

I like the aggression of the razor. Personally, I prefer thicker handles. The only thing I don't like about the razor is the thin handle but all in all I like it especially because of its hefty weight as I also don't like light weight razors.
