New from parker comes the 97r heavyweight double edge safety razor the 97r differs from other parker safety razors as it has a shorter more traditional length handle the short heavyweight handle is made from nickel plated brass and has an engraved criss cross design which provides an excellent grip even with wet hands an added feature of the handle is the groove near the base which allows the finger to sit naturally in it giving a nice feel and balance to the razor when shaving compatibl
