Best value Revain razor I've seen:

This is the typical shavette razor that many barbers use to finish off their cut. It is good value for money and well suited for this purpose. It seems a bit cheap compared to other shaving styles, but it gets the job done. For the price, this is the best value I've seen from Revain for a razor of this design. I use this razor for shaving like a straight razor and it is very light and easy to use with little to no pressure. When you're not loading the blade, you can even use it for practice…

  • Razors & Blades

  • The list goes on.

Broke right away, literally

I opened the box, put a blade in the holder and closed the blade while I washed my face to prepare to shave. When I closed the blade, it ended up splitting in half with no hinge. Apparently the two sides of the plastic handle were barely glued together. I would 100% recommend the MD Razor Handle. It actually comes with an order of 100 individual blades from MD Barber Supply. The MD Barber grip is a rivet grip without a hinge, so the problem I had with this grip is very difficult to solve with…

Pros
  • Beauty & Personal Care
Cons
  • Good but not great

Can be a great shavetta with a simple modification.

As others have pointed out this is a very cheap (price) razor that gets the job done. However, it can be made much better with small modifications. Let's start with how these things work: you get a straight razor that at first glance looks like a regular straight razor. But if you unfold it you can see that the working end is actually a holder for a half DE blade (double-sided blade). To change the blade, pull out the insert that holds the blade. It has small protrusions that fit the…

  • Men's

Hm. Shaving and hair removal

I recently bought another razor for about the same price as 100 blades. I thought this would be better at these prices. While I haven't shaved this yet, I can't honestly attest to its being able to get the job done. I just didn't think it was a good idea given how much "backlash" there is with a blade when it's in the position where you're supposed to shave with it. I don't think that's the main thing, but what can you expect for the price. Might be a nice gift for someone else who might try…

Pros
  • Razor
Cons
  • Not the best
