Black Widow Professional Barber Straight Edge Razor – Stainless Steel Shavette, 1.5 mm Blade Exposure, Matte Black & chrome, 10 Double Edge Blades (20 Single-Edge) for Lineups & Beard Shaping

Great razor.

So I use this razor 2 or 3 times a month when I have a formal occasion where I need a closer straight razor shave to the areas of my face and neck. I shave myself, so its exactly what I was looking for, something strong, fits ergonomically, and love the pinky support. Fits every single edge blade I've used and grabs the blade tight. Perfect for line ups and precision shaves. Love the leather case too.

Great product.. haven’t had an issue with the tool. I’ve used the derby razor in combination. All seems to be working great so far.. bit hard to get the razors on. But once you get the gist it fits. Idk if it’s cause of the type of razor or the tool. But it works.

I love this razor! It’s lightweight, perfectly balanced , easy to Maintain and easy to replace the razors. A must have!

El fácil y práctico de usar

La Black Widow es una navaja de barbero con toda la actitud. Tiene buen peso, se siente firme en la mano y el diseño negro mate le da un look brutal. La apertura para cambiar la hoja es segura y rápida, sin riesgo de que se mueva mientras afeitas. La precisión al ras que se consigue con esta navaja no se compara con las desechables ni con máquinas. Obvio requiere algo de práctica si vienes de usar rastrillos modernos, pero una vez que le coges el ritmo, el resultado es limpio, apurado y muy pro. Si te gusta el afeitado tradicional o quieres pulir tu barba con estilo, esta herramienta no puede faltar en tu kit.

My two concerns with any disposable straight razor kit was a lack of weight and a loose hinge -- this has neither of those issues. My concern now is with the blade tray design -- specifically, how it doesn't match the image with usage instructions on the Amazon listing page. I thought this razor would have a hinged latch to lock the blade in place, as many (most?) similar kits work. However, this product has a removable tray that slides in from the tip (I've posted a photo showing this). I don't feel any grooves in the track to help snap anything into place -- I think the tray is being held purely by friction, and I'd expect that will lessen with time and use. Also, once a blade is inserted into the tray, sliding the tray into the holder scraped a significant amount of paint from the blade guard due to friction -- I don't see how this would be a concern with the hinged latch approach. After wearing down the excess paint by sliding the tray/blade in and out for a few minutes, the issue is mostly gone -- though, I'm still seeing the occasional flakes (you can maybe see this my photo of the logo). Breaking a double-sided razor blade in half will probably result in a bend near the break. Place the blade into the tray with the bend curving away from the tray, and the tray's spine is thick enough to prevent the bend from touching anything and throwing off the blade angle (you can maybe see this in my photo of the blade tray -- specifically, how the broken edge bends away from the tray). However, I don't think the blade's clearance from the blade guard is uniform -- it looks like, with mine, the blade sticks out a bit more toward the tip (you can maybe see this my photo of the logo). Also, the listing says 20 pre-cut Derby blades. I got 10, double-sided-so-you-have-to-break-them, "Black Widow" branded blades. I tossed in an Astra blade and tried a quick clean up -- not a full shave. I like the weight, the stiffness of the hinge, and the cleanness of the cut. No razor burns. I'll take this guy seriously until I feel the blade tray slipping or notice issues seating new blades over time; then, I'll have to move on.

The more exposed blade head provides a sharp and easy shave for those experienced with straight razors. I use shark razors. You can “hear” it work easily and better than low profile straight razors. Those who know what I mean by “hear” will understand. The price is right, and the equipment sturdy to hold. Quality parts for sure at a cheap price point. I can only give this product my highest recommendation.
