Not only are you partaking in a rite of passage enjoyed by men throughout the ages, but you are also getting the best shave of your life. The closeness of a one blade shave is arguably the best you can get. And with only a single blade touching your face, you get less irritation.

With the Parker 96R Safety Razor, they've made changing blades a snap. . . er, well, more like a twist. The butterfly head means this is a one-piece razor. A twist on the end of the handle opens up the butterfly doors on the head. You can quickly dispose of the used blade and drop in a new one. Then another twist closes the doors and you are ready to shave. Easy-peasy!
