100 BLADES + FacÃn Professional Wooden Straight Edge Barber Razor - Salon Quality Cut Throat Shavette

I feel very satisfied with the quality of this product (feels well put together, easy to handle) for the price paid. It looks pretty neat as well. Comes with plenty of blades that are pre-split, so you just snap them on and get to work. This was my first experience using a straight razor - it was a pretty easy skill to pick up, and it's fair to say I won't be touching regular safety razors ever again. When it comes to precision and closeness of shave, there is no contest.

I am new to shaving and this was easy to actually use. I didn't know if it would work and that I would cut myself but I have not. I do not think this is safe for teens or be accessible to young children. But perfect for responsible adults. I recommend this product especially for something that it looking for precise lines with their facial hair. I will buy again if need be. Thank you to the seller for a wonderful product.

The razor itself has excellent balance. It's light, extremely maneuverable and easy to control. I found the blades that came with the razor light, similar to Feather blades. Great if you want an aggressive shave. Probably not so good for beginners. If inexperienced, I would recommend using sonething like Astra brand blades with this razor. Comparable shave, less nicks and cuts. All in all I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Let me preface this review: I was not reimbursed for this review and I have never used a shavette or straight razor before, I had always used an electric razor as I get pretty bad razor bumps and all those 3 blade and 5 blade disposable razors make them way worse. I purchased this after my barber used a straight razor on my neck and the razor bumps didn't come back! He explained how to use it so I purchased this and I was very pleased. The quality of the handle is fantastic, it is light but has enough weight for tactile feedback and to counter balance the tang. The metal is of fantastic quality and holds the blades firmly. There were no visible defects of the wood or metal when I unboxed it. The weight is ample, not so light that I felt the need to excessively press down but not so heavy as to be clumsy. It closes properly as well, which seems to be an issue with a lot of the cheaper shavettes. I took the plunge today and used it for the first time solo, granted I gave myself some razor burn and a few nicks but overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I would recommend that you look up the proper technique for straight razor/shavette shaving if you have never used one before. I ended up purchasing a sample pack of different blades as I have a very thick beard and was not sure how sharp the lord blades would be so I have not tried the blades yet though it is really nice to have 100 included (enough for 200 to 300 shaves depending how many shaves they are good for). Overall, the quality of this product for the price really surprised me, I had looked at the parker and equinox but some reviews complained that the blade moved a lot, this was not an issue for me as the facon has a locking mechanism that presses both sides of the razor holder together, I even got the blade to "sing". I researched reviews for many of the lower cost blades and took a gamble on this one and I am sure glad I did! For the low upfront cost, included blades, and quality I think this is a fantastic straight razor especially for those looking to start using straight razors. Update: I ended up trying the lord blades and they are fantastic! Sharp but smooth and less razor burn and bumps than the Mercer and kai blades I tried! So glad I got 100 of them included!

Works well just make sure to not cut urself!
