About this item A Heavy-duty Razor Designed and Used by Professionals Rounded exposure at the end of the blade compartment to minimize cuts Clip/Lock blade holder along with inserts to ensure secure blade insertion Accepts barbershop single edge blades or 1/2 a double edge blade Provides a quality shaving experience Triko Razor offers an unparalleled line of barber straight razors. These beautifully designed razors allow a barber to easily change a blade between clients and provide luxury shaves with an instrument that mimics a traditional straight razor. Unlike traditional straight razors, there never is any sharpening or stropping required. Triko razors are used in barbershops and shave parlors worldwide. The unique "clip to close" mechanism on this razor keeps the razor blade securely in place and perfectly aligned. Unlike most shavettes, our Parker SRX razor has a heavyweight stainless steel blade arm in addition to a stainless steel handle - not lower quality aluminum. Many have told us that our shavette razors perform just like a straight razor -- except that there is no honing or sharpening required.
