Schick Qu Professional Standard Japanese Straight Edge Feather Barber Razor with 10 Blades

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.

Bought for my husband. He is happy with this product as it is easy to use and does great job.

Loving it blades are a tad tricky to get in and locked in place. Habdle a great shape has great feel. Love the shave it gives

muy buen peso que es lo que hace falta en una rasuradora !!! viene con 100 cuchillas !!!

I've been shaving with a cheap straight razor for the last 5 years or so. I only cut myself a few times when I was learning. for some reason when i use this razor I cut myself at least once every time unless I'm very very careful. there is absolutely no room for error. I believe it's because the razor sticks out quite far even when its seated as far into the handle as possible. this actually makes it a little easier to get around the nostrils and upper lip area, but if you shave a flat surface like the back of your neck or the side of your face its much easier to cut yourself. its a shame because everything else about this razor handle is great.
