Facón Straight Razors for Men - Professional Barber Straight Edge Razor Kit with 100 Blades, Wooden Stainless Steel Barbero Shaver for a Smooth & Precise Shave, Premium Barber Razor for Men's Shaving

I’ve been really happy with this straight razor so far. It feels comfortable in the hand and is well balanced, which makes it easy to control while shaving. The ergonomic handle gives a good grip and doesn’t feel awkward or tiring, even during longer shaves. Using it is pretty straightforward for a straight razor. The blade glides smoothly and gives a clean, close shave without much pulling or irritation. Overall, it’s easy to use, comfortable, and does exactly what you’d want from a quality straight razor.

I’ve been using this now for 3 years. I use it to shave around my beard and keep nice clean lines. This razor is comfortable and easy to hold. It cleans easily. The blades are super sharp (as they should be) and last a long time. This type of razor is very unforgiving so if you stroke your face incorrectly (wrong angle, drag, etc.) you are going to get cut - so be careful. But this is the best razor for my purpose. It is well built so I expect it will last many years.

Amazing deal and fantastic product. 100 blades will last a very long time. Gives a significantly better shave than the modern safety razors and doesn't cause razor bumps and other issues that safety razors cause me. One of the reasons a straight razor like this is so much better, is that you can adjust the angle to be perfect for the area you are shaving. Safety razors are all one specific angle and it's not always ideal. Being able to adjust the angle can improve the shave and reduce skin irritation. If it's your first time, it's important to pay attention when using this and shave slowly, lifting the razor away at the end of the stroke. Otherwise it's possible to accidently scrape yourself by moving the razor side to side. That isn't necessarily a bad thing though. It can make shaving a sort of meditation where you focus your mind which is a great way to start the day. Also you'll save ridiculous amounts of money compared to safety razors. Highly reccomend.

great quality, wish blade secured more easily though

The handle is a good weight and high quality. The blades are impossibly sharp and easy to install. A great product and super value. Wort the buy.

Be careful, blades are sharp!! I cut my cheek, but I sure did get a close shave. I am using this between barber appts to keep my hairline looking good. It’s a good quality and easy to hold.

have purchased a few straight razors before, but this one just feels off. I have larger hands and the monarch blade feels way too large and light; just improper balance. my other 2 qualms with the razor are that a) the metal nubs that are meant to keep the blade in place, don't really do their job, so the blade has shifted a few times when retracting, and b) the blade pertrudes [for shave] a bit too much for my liking. With all the razors I've had, the blade has been ~.0625 or less from the edge which makes for a cleaner + quicker shave. The further out the blade, the easier it is to cut yourself. Maybe it'll take some getting used to but the whole unit is very light* & pretty large so you'll need a deft hand to operate well.

Switched from cartridge shaving to DB and SB a couple of months ago. I have shopped and tried several razors, but have been unsure about using a straight razor. Saw a video on the Japanese style and popped for this one to try. Very impressed. I ordered it on the 4th of June and received it yesterday the 6th. It has a good heft and feel. Not wanting to rush the process I waited until after today's shower to use the razor. It was simple to load. The cover does not slide in from the end. You drop it in about halfway in to allow pins on the cover to align with holes in the handle. From there it easily slides and clicks into place. I wear glasses and found it awkward to shave downward from my sideburns as my hand hit my glasses. One is supposed to shave the left side of your face with the left hand and the right side with the right hand. I will get used to it. I was looking forward to the shave and expected several nicks and cuts as part of the learning process. I was not disappointed (LOL). I enjoyed the process and did incur some cuts, much like paper cuts. An alum block managed them just fine. (I had received much worse cuts from a DE safety razor.) Time was against me today and I made two nice passes but did a third, cleanup pass, with a more familiar razor for times sake. Can't rush things when you are learning! My beard growth was a hearty four day crop and the Facon razor took care of it very easily, leaving me BBS for the most part. (As noted, I did not want to rush myself, so touch up was done with a familiar SE razor.) BTW, both razors will take the same 1/2 DE blade. I'm not sure a snapped DE will fit if the break is uneven as it "locates" on three bumps, but also rests on a ledge (dictates blade reveal) for it's length (an uneven break of a DE blade might not seat well.) I had installed the blade three times, before shaving, to become familiar with the process and after shaving, to facilitate cleaning, and found it straight forward. But just now I walked through it again and was fumble fingered. Performance under pressure? The price point is excellent. If the razor is opened, rinsed clean and dried after each shave, it should last for a long time. (Just common sense maintenance and hygiene.) When you register your razor it triggers the one year warranty. Write a review(*) on Amazon and get 100 extra blades for free (don't know if that includes S&T.). (*I have not gotten them yet and I have made no promise of a flowery positive endorsement. Just the facts, (and my impressions) Ma'am. It needs a handy way to store it other than the plastic sleeve it came with.. Looking forward to my second shave with the Facon and the honing of my skills. Though I don' t have to hone the blade! Just pop in a new one when it gets dull.

La recomiendo por su facilidad de manejo, agarre y corte. Es mi primera navaja de este estilo (siempre usaba rastrillos). La primera vez que la usé me lastimé mucho, no me corté pero si me quedó la piel toda irritada. Cambié la espuma de afeitar comercial por hacer mi propia espuma con jabón y brocha; y noto mejor corte y poca irritación. Si eres novato como yo, aviéntate unos tutoriales antes de aventurarte a usarla.

First time I use a shavette and I must say it does a better job than the regular razors. For anyone who hasnt tried shavettes before, you have nothing to loose, its cheap and does the Job. Highly recommended!

Ad stated that instructions are added. There weren’t

We received some blades as a gift and bought the shavette to try out the blades. It's been a learning curve but the shavette seems to be good and any issues appear to be due to the user. 🤣🤣🤣. It was easy to put in new blades. Now shaving is pretty hit or miss.
