The new Parker shavette

[Charms434]

Not sure if you guys have seen it yet but Parker has a new shavette. And as someone who loves getting a barber's shave it felt great.
The previous one folded open at top, you put the blade in and folded it over again. While this one has a 'tounge' you pull out (kind of like the dovo shavette's except this is metal and doesn't come all the way out.
You tuck your blade into the two holes and shoe it back in)
comes in black and white. I think you could fit a Feather AC razor in it.

Do you have a photo or link to it? I have the old parker and actually like it quite a bit. It's a tad light, but otherwise no complaints really

I think I would stick to the original one only because it's 100% metal. You could "take one for the team" and do a review for us

i used it last night and I really really like it. I own the Dovo, Feather, and old Parker shavette. I think the new Parker is just under the Feather. While the Dovo gives you plastic pieces for each side. The '13 Parker also pulls out but is part of the razor and its 2 little 'holding' bars can fit all razors that the Dovo fits including the very long one that goes in the green holder.
You also have a choice of having the edge of the razor show to a point or pull it in more and you have a round point.
Cons- the Dovo has a nice rubber shoulder to rest your thumb while this doesn't.
You're going have to stretch out the bars that hold the razor when you first get it.
But all and all. If your gonna get a shavette and not spend a fortune I recommend it over Dovo

I like all the Parker straights. I have 4 of them, and I'm going to have to get one of these.

I've been checking around and can't seem to find the new Parker straight. Does anyone know where they are available?
