Parker Premium Platinum Razor Blades - 5 count

Parker puts these out under their own name. The steel is Sandvik, out of Sweden, and the edge gets honed on German equipment before it picks up a platinum, tungsten, and chromium polymer coating. The coating is the part your face notices. It goes on smooth and stays that way for a while.

Any standard double edge razor will take one. First time buying blades? This is where to land. Been shaving a while and your face needs a break after a run of Feathers? Same answer.

Sealed tuck of five. Flip the pack over and the back of it takes your used blades, which beats leaving them loose in the bathroom trash. Figure three to five shaves each, more or less depending on what you're cutting.

Materials

• Sandvik Swedish stainless steel
• Platinum, tungsten, and chromium polymer plating

Shake the razor dry instead of wiping the blade. Wiping the edge dry shortens the life of it.
