A big reason why shaving purists have neglected the Mach 3 isn't due to its abilities in the hair removal department; you don't become an industry standard through being ineffective. Instead the Parker 42R Black Mach 3 Razor has given the World's leading cartridge blades the design they deserve, with a gunmetal black finish producing a timeless and stylish look. Made of the highest quality brass, it gives the Mach 3 weight and strength; two factors it's sorely lacked all these years.

The Parker 42R Black Mach 3 Razor doesn't just use its black milled finish for its incredible aesthetic purposes. In fact that's a welcome benefit to a material which chiefly enhances grip and makes slips while shaving unlikely in even the wettest conditions. Thanks to the perfectly placed brass of the handle, the 42R is also incredibly balanced; enhancing precision unlike any regular Mach 3 razor.

The Parker 42R Black Mach 3 Razor works with all of the Gillette Mach 3 range, with the same easy replacement of used cartridges.
