Check Out The New Parker AeroShave Aluminum Safety Razor
What Makes the Parker AeroShave Different
The AeroShave stands out for its ultra-lightweight aluminum construction and thoughtfully engineered blade angle. At just 1.38 oz (39g), this razor feels nimble in your hand, giving you exceptional control and precision during your shave. The mild blade exposure of 0.015mm positive combined with a 45-degree angle delivers a smooth, comfortable experience without sacrificing closeness. It's an ideal balance for beginners who want forgiveness and seasoned shavers who value reliability.
The 3.3-inch classic handle length (S model) provides excellent maneuverability for most users and facial shaving, though Parker also offers a longer 3.8-inch handle (L model) for those with larger hands or who prefer head and leg shaving. Both deliver the same mild shave experience—your choice comes down to grip comfort and personal preference.
Design and Construction
Crafted from solid 6061 aluminum using advanced CNC machining, the AeroShave is built to last. Its slim head design lets you navigate tight areas and facial contours with ease, while the modern matte finish looks as refined on your bathroom counter as it feels in your hand. The sandblasted, high-grade anodized silver finish paired with a distinctive green safety bar plate signals the eco-friendly, reusable nature of this all-metal razor—a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious shavers.
The classic 3-piece design ensures easy blade alignment, straightforward cleaning, and reliable performance year after year. An included washer in the handle prevents the brush from brushing against the safety bar plate, protecting both your razor and your shaving brush.
How to Use the Parker AeroShave
Preparing for Your Shave: Start with a clean face and warm water to soften your facial hair. Apply a quality shaving cream or soap and work it into a rich lather using a shaving brush. Allow the lather to sit for a minute to fully hydrate your beard.
Loading the Blade: Unscrew the handle from the head by turning it counterclockwise. Separate the cap from the base plate. Place a fresh double-edge safety razor blade on the base plate, then carefully position the cap back onto the blade. Screw the handle back in—hand-tight is sufficient; do not over-tighten.
Shaving Technique: Hold the razor at approximately a 45-degree angle to your skin (the angle is already engineered into the head, so let the razor do the work). Use light pressure—let the weight of the razor do the cutting, not your hand. Short, downward strokes follow the direction of hair growth. Rinse your face between passes, re-lather, and repeat as needed for a closer shave. Most users achieve excellent results with one or two passes.
Finishing: Rinse thoroughly with cool water to close your pores. Pat dry and apply an aftershave balm or moisturizer to soothe the skin.
Tips for Best Results
Your shaving experience depends on several factors beyond the razor itself. The blade you choose makes a significant difference—what works beautifully for one person may feel different for another. We recommend starting with a sample blade pack to find the blades that suit your skin best. Your shaving cream, water temperature, skin type, hair texture, and shaving angle all play roles in the final result.
If you're new to safety razors, take time to learn the proper angle and pressure. The AeroShake is engineered to be forgiving, but developing good technique will reward you with consistently smooth, irritation-free shaves.
