A Closer Look at the Parker 92R Safety Razor

I’ve had the Parker 92R DE Razor in the wet shaving arsenal for a little while.  According an article on Sharpologist titled: The Evolution Of Parker Razors the 92R was introduced in 2011 (it’s also appears to be one of Mantic’s favorites)

As I’ve mentioned in a number of previous posts, Crystal Razor Blades have become my go to blade.  They’re the ones I reach for when I use my 92R (and pretty much any safety razor for that matter).  I’ve tried a bunch of other blades: Feather Razor Blades, Shark Super Chrome, Derby Extra Super Stainless Blades, Merkur DE Blades, and Dreadnought Razor Blades but I’m partial to the Crystal blades.

The Parker 92R is a Twist-To-Open (or TTO)  with a black and chrome finish with a textured handle.  It measures about 4.25 inches from end to end and the handle measuring roughly 3.75 inches.  The 92R weighs 3.0 oz according to our scale.
