Parker 42M All-Metal Triple Blade Razor in Graphite Gray - Compatbile with Gillete Mach 3 Cartridge Refills – Deluxe Brass-Frame, Textured Grip Handle for Triple Blade Shaving

was nervous after reading reviews but have had no problem with the board holder coming loose. nice weight to it if that’s your thing

The handle has a good weight to it. Heavier than a stock Mach 3, but only slightly. The knurling is deep and consistent, with a good feel. The handle is painted and so far seems like it will last. There is no "Flaky rubber coating" as mentioned in other reviews. The head is a light stamped metal with an internal plastic mechanism similar to a stock mach3. My head came unscrewed from the handle but once attached seems to hold tight. I recommend this handle.

Torn on this. On one had it has a very nice, stable industrial feel, with good heft that results in a nice shave. Unfortunately, as others have stated, the small silver bridge piece between the black handle and the blade connector tends to loosen and need retightening every 5-8 shaves. I suspect that bridge piece is part of the assembly they must buy from Gillette ( so as not to violate their patents) and the handle manufacturer has limited control here. I’m going to try a couple of dabs of licorice here, and if that fails, move onto CA glue. But couldn’t this have been done the “factory”?

I didn't write an review when I had it 2 years ago. It looked great when I first got it and it still looks great now - even the black handle lighten up a bit as I can see some brass color underneath it. I also love the weight of the razor. But what I really want to talk about is the seller's customer service. I use it every 2/3 days for about 2 years no problem, until couple weeks ago I dropped and broke the retract mechanism and it can't hold on to the razor anymore. I surfed around and tried to look for other razor handle, but eventually came back and thinking about buying the same one again - until I saw this comment : http://www.amazon.com/review/R2TSDTG9QUWPG8/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00570KYBS&nodeID=3760901&store=hpc. I emailed [email protected] last Wednesday night about the situation and asked if I can get some part to fix it (since it's a perfectly fine razor still), on Thursday morning I got an reply from Howie @ Howie Inc., asked for my address to send me the part. I received the new part on Saturday in 2 bags of protection, free of charge. Thank you again Howie for the quick response!

Positive - Feels good in the hand - has some weight to it and the handle is dimpled to reduce slipping - Attractive design Negative - The head of the razor frequently rotates loose from the handle of the razor - requiring it to be tightened before shaving can continue. This happens 3 to 4 times on every shave - The clips that are supposed to fit into the razor blade are not strong enough to extract the blade from the plastic safety container that holds the Mach 3 razor blades I owned another model of this company's razor previously. After several years, the clips wore out so I feel I got decent use out of that model. This model is not the same quality. I would not recommend buying it - the price does not equal the performance.

This is a well made product. It feels as good as it looks. It's well balanced and has a nice hefty too it. It's something that you use almost every day, so splurge a little.

safety Gillette razor 🪒. Enjoying, handles well

Perfect weight. Highly recommended.
