So, You’re Thinking About Stepping in the Ring with the SHW??

It is a common complaint from shavers that a razor is too light while barbers tend to prefer light tools. For those that want heavy, here is the final stop on that train…
The unit received has some minor fit and finish dings, like a slightly sharp ridge in the chrome on the barber pole handle. For the price, regarded in its own context, 5 stars - the SHW is not a Muhle Rocca and it is not trying to be.
Founded in India in 1973 by the Grover family, the manufacturing operation has long prioritized retention of specialized artisans. Their respected standing in India is anchored in a committed internal factory culture, utilizing multi-generational skills to manufacture their hardware. While Howi's Inc. (operating as Super Safety Razors) has managed key distribution across North and South America since 2004, the brand's global footprint relies on a decentralized network of independent distributors handling regional supply chains throughout Europe, Australia, and Asia.
Released in 2010, the 98R is a traditional three-piece model weighing a massive 4.3 ounces. WELD IT TO A CANNONBALL IF YOU OR THE PERSON YOU ARE GIFTING WANT MORE HEFT IN A SHAVE. The geometry presents a moderately aggressive closed-comb head with distinct blade exposure and some chatter due to the range of clamp. This same zinc-alloy head design is utilized across sibling models like the Parker 111R, 64S, and 97R - the shave mechanics remain identical while only the handles change.
When my hand is in motion the tool’s mass provides definitive stability causing smooth glide through stubble. It remains a durable, classic razor that does demand a controlled touch. The Parker Super Heavyweight is likely a favorite for women shot put athletes - don’t forget them on your list when selecting your order multiple!
… And one more thing, but you didn’t hear it from me - top secret: there is a heavier one also from India. The Pearl Hammer. It is coated CNC brass including the head and comes with both open and closed plates.

I found this shaver when the last one I had broke. I don’t see this one breaking. Ever.
