The razor includes one Gillette Mach 3 blade cartridge, making it convenient to incorporate into an existing wet shaving routine.

Important Compatibility Note: The Parker 111B-M3 is a Mach 3 compatible cartridge razor. It does not accept standard double edge safety razor blades. Compatibility with other Gillette cartridge families, including Fusion and ProGlide, has not been established for this model.

Classic Black Resin & Chrome Styling

One of the defining features of the Parker 111B-M3 is its sophisticated black and chrome appearance.

The black resin handle provides a classic foundation, while the chrome styling adds a polished contrast that complements both traditional and contemporary grooming accessories.

This combination gives the razor a distinctive appearance compared with conventional cartridge razor handles.

Whether displayed alongside a shaving brush, shaving bowl, or favorite shaving cream, the Parker 111B-M3 adds a refined touch to a traditional wet shaving setup.

The black resin construction also offers a practical handle material suitable for regular grooming use when properly maintained.

Substantial Weight & Extended Handle

At approximately 3oz in weight and 6 inches in overall length, the Parker 111B-M3 is designed to provide a substantial feel in the hand.

3oz Weight: The razor's weight gives it a solid, substantial feel that may appeal to customers accustomed to traditional shaving accessories.

The Parker 111B-M3 is ideal for customers who appreciate classic shaving aesthetics but prefer to continue using Gillette Mach 3 compatible cartridges.
