Black Widow Professional Straight Razor – Matte Black & Gold Barber Razor for Men – 1.5 mm Exposure, Swing Lock Grip, Stainless Steel Shavette for Barbers & Beginners pack of 10 blades

I ordered one just off a whim. I have since ordered 2 more for my brothers because I liked it so much. The fact that the razor is cheap, and the blades even cheaper are almost worth it on its own. The razor is super easy to use, clean, store, and as gross as it sounds, to share as well. The disposable blades make it perfectly safe for others to use in an emergency situation. I wouldn't advise sharing all the time, as you will lose time to use it yourself. This was my first straight razor, and I will probably never have or want to order another. I don't give 5 star reviews a whole lot, purely for the fact that a product can be the best in the world, but if there is no customer service behind it, it is not worth it. These guys will take care of you and all of your needs. Amazon needs to give a customer service rating as well. This company has it all and a great product. Thank you!Other useful info:-I don't always shave my whole face, usually I just clean up my beard and do my neck. I can usually get 3+ uses out of each blade. If I shave my whole face I could use the blade more than once, but I usually don't, as I like how close a shave the new blades give.-The razor will "rust" if you don't do a quick rinse and dry after use. BUT, even if it does rust, because of the great craftsmanship, it is easily cleaned. A bit of a scrub and the razor will look brand new. I have no doubt it will last years and years with even poor care.-Lastly, if you need a gift for a guy (or girl, I don't discriminate) this is a fantastic one. Cheap, easy, and the shipping is on time, every time!

Since I purchased this product smack in the middle of quarantine, the sellers most likely had reduced staff which led to a few hiccups getting the product to me. However, the wait was well worth it. After several uses I have come to absolutely love the Black Widow due to is very solid feel and ease of use. I have a few double sided safety razors that excel in cleaning up my stubble, I purchased the Black Widow to be a precision blade to detail around my face and hairline. It has performed wonderfully, so much so that I am truly glad I chose this product.Pros:-Solidly built, feels like a tank (I own a Feather AS-D2 which will outlive me, trust... this razor is well built)-Aesthetically pleasing-Easy to clean-Tactile (really like the feeling of control)Cons:-The clasp that holds the blade is a little finicky, holds the blade securely (which is VERY good) but is a pain to open-Slight learning curve, which is standard with these types of razors but as this was my first I nicked myself a few times due to no fault of the Black Widow. Just fat fingered it across my face-The blades the razor comes with leave a lot to be desired. I recommend switching them to a preferred brand. Personal recommendation are the Feather Hi-Stainless double sided blades.TL;DR : The Black Widow is highly recommended, but the blades should be swapped. Well constructed and easy to use with a little practice.

This barber straight razor feels top notch in stylish appearance and made quality. I really liked the ease of use of the straight razor with the disposable blades. It was very simple to setup and start using. The ergonomic feel, handling and maneuverability of the handle was very comfortable and efficient. I used this barber straight razor to do line up work on my beard and for the shaving of all my neck beard hairs. I definitely would recommend this stellar product, to both the experienced and novice user alike.

Using a straight edge razor has transformed my grooming routine into a timeless and precise experience. The craftsmanship of the razor exudes quality, and the single, sharp blade delivers a close shave with unparalleled precision.The weight and balance of the razor feel just right in hand, providing excellent control. However, the learning curve for beginners might be a bit steep, requiring careful technique to avoid nicks.Despite this initial challenge, the straight edge razor offers a grooming experience like no other. The ritualistic feel and the smooth, clean shave make it a standout choice for those who appreciate the art of classic grooming. Elevate your shaving routine with the elegance and precision of a straight edge razor.

Good quality

I've been growing my mustache for over a decade and recently decided I wanted to have a little more control over my shave. I know a straight razor is a good choice. I've been wanting one for a while.When I started shopping I was taking screenshots and sending them to my barber buddies. They told me the 1.5mm showing of the razor was a good choice. I also watched a ton of YouTube videos to make sure I knew what I was doing.This is one of the better values out there. It's made well and comes with 10 blades which is actually 20 because you're going to break them in half. Eventually I'll work up to an actual straight razor but I'll be using this for the next year or so.I like the feel of this razor and it folds up nicely. Thanks Black Widow and I also appreciate the stern warning on the package. I took my time and I'll be slowly learning the art of the straight razor shave.
