Facón Razor Comb for Hair Cutting - Professional Hair Cutting Comb Kit with 12 Replacement Blades, Double Edge Shaper for Salon & Home, Premium Styling Thinning Texturizing Split Ends Trimming Razor

I bought this for trimming up my own short hair at home because to be fair, I got very tired of spending far too much money going to the salon and getting my hair cut.Provided that you use new, sharp razors on the inside of the cutting edges every few haircuts, these should cut through your hair like BUTTAH and should not pull on your hair. The cost of the razor comb is reasonable, the plastic is pretty thick and strong; a good quality piece I think and useful for those times between full haircuts when you want to trim of those bits of dead ends.Or if you're like me and you're a person who just like saving money and cuts their own hair after having gone through the pandemic.

The comb works well with the shaving get I bought with the same manufacturer and cuts with ease. Making it efficient, eventhough the comb feels made of cheap material the intention of the blade to shave is effective in it's intended use.

I have lots of thoughts on this comb. I've determined it's not for me, but I think it can be a very useful tool for others. I tried using it in several different ways on my own hair; and I just found it to be unhelpful, risky, and a teeny bit flawed.I, personally, don't find the comb worth my time to tinker with anymore. However, I gave it to my daughter; and I can attest she put it to excellent use.First thing to know if you're considering trying this hair cutting tool for the first time: You really have to know what you're doing when using this comb because it's very easy to accidentally chop off a thick chunk of hair. (I now have unwanted ugly, uneven, way-too-wide bangs with my fairly long hair. Thankfully, not wide enough to be a mullet, but it was a close call. But this was due to user error and not the comb's fault. 😅)I initially bought this comb for "dusting" split ends with the intention of keeping the full length of my hair. But it just wasn't working out for me. I couldn't find a way to target only my split ends without accidentally cutting off hair that was perfectly fine. I had a ton of split ends in certain sections due to over-processing parts of my hair with lighteners and dyes. (I had a lovely ombre for the longest... then attempted a DIY bayalage, but took the processing way too far.) No matter what technique I tried or what section I targeted, the comb just wouldn't work for the kind of light "dusting" I wanted.I was hoping this comb would make the dusting process quicker, but I couldn't find a way to use it for that purpose at all. I even tried to slightly "hover" it over my naturally straight, thick hair as I pulled the comb downwards at mostly a 90 degree angle (pretty much parallel to my hair) and even slightly inwards several degrees (angled very slightly towards my hair). That method didn't work because the razor would not cut off any frizzy, damaged hair without some tension on the other end of the strand. It simply passed right over the snaggly coarse and split hairs (which were sticking straight out from the rest of my smooth hair) despite the razor being very sharp. There was one "swipe" where the last inch or so of my hair was heavily curved outwards and a bit tangled, and the comb slice a lot of hair off. (Luckily, it only cut about half an inch off during that pass. Make sure your hair is well combed when using this thing!)The razor did cut my hair while combing it thru thick sections at a time... but only if I tilted the comb at a pretty steep angle (directing the blade more inwards towards my hair) and applied a certain amount of pressure. The more angle and/ or pressure, the more hair gets cut off. However, it cut my hair indiscriminately. Meaning: It did not just cut off the split ends or otherwise damaged hair. It cut whatever hair strands it caught onto as I pulled the comb downwards. I tried various angles and methods of applying pressure, but it didn't make a difference. The razor is sharp and will quickly slice thru anything you direct it towards with proper pressure or tension. Another way the razor would cut my hair is if I held a lock taught with one hand and lightly drag the comb down the lenth of it with the other hand. But again... it still cut my hair indiscriminately. So, if you're looking for a faster way of dusting off a bunch of split ends while maintaining length, this may not be the tool for you.*I noticed other reviewers seemed to have some kind of success or satisfaction with removing split ends and damaged hair. Maybe I just couldn't figure it out. (You can't twist your hair or slip it between three fingers and use the comb in lieu of shears. I tried. It doesn't work. Besides, that would take equal time and effort as the traditional dusting method.) I'm just not sure how the other reviewers used the comb... and if they only intended to cut split ends/damaged strands off while maintaining length like I wanted to. I tried a few light comb thrus on a decent sized section of my hair that was very bulky. The razor cut a decent amount off while also leaving the majority of my hair in tact (given how carefully and *gently* I used it). It was nice to run my fingers thru that section of hair afterward, but only because it was no longer as thick. (I usually have to get my hair thinned out professionally at least 2 times a year... sometimes more.) Even though it *felt* nicer in the section that I thinned out, it still *looked* horrible. Actually, it looked worse. Overall, that section still looked scraggly and super dried out because a lot of my already damaged hair remained and some of my non damaged hair was cut off. Thinning the hair made the damaged strands more apparent... It looked like that whole section might've been so damaged at one point that a lot of hair (which was actually cut off by the comb) likely snapped off from regular brushing. 🫤I think this comb may be a convenient way to thin really thick hair that's in decent to good condition all around. But it definitely backfired for thinning really thick hair that has some moderate to severely damaged locks towards the ends. I would imagine it would be a very bad idea to use it to thin hair that's visually damaged all over.After seeing how the thinned out section of my hair looked, I decided to just give myself a hair cut. (I usually do a blunt or tapered cut and soften the ends, and sometimes I add light to medium layers.) I used normal hair cutting shears for the brunt of the work. I had to cut off a good 5 inches to try to hide what I did to that one section of my hair. 😅 I started to use the comb to add some light layers to my hair. I started off very slowly and carefully to get the hang of things. I felt I was catching on pretty fast. (Keep in mind: If you have short or thin hair, you might not have enough to practice on. So, be careful and maybe try to test this thing out on a friend who really loves you first.)I cut off too much hair towards the front of my face (resulting in the unwanted bangs) because I got too confident. I turned my eyes to say something to my daughter for a few seconds and didn't realized I was slicing off half the density of my hair because I applied just a tiny bit more pressure or angle. I honestly don't know which did it... maybe both. (I used the 50% side of the comb most of the time. It doesn't have to take off 50% of your hair if you don't want it to, though. It's all about the technique you use.)I kept using the comb to try to finish adding layers to rest of my head. (Again: The bangs were a result of user error. It wasn't the comb's fault. However, it is REALLY easy to make a big mistake. I decided to just proceed with even more caution.) I noticed the comb was snagging some strands quite a bit, leaving me with some damaged ends. Not cool after I just lopped off 5 inches all around to get rid of the majority of my damage hair. A few strands of hair kept getting caught inside the comb where the razor is encased - right along some of the combs teeth. Oddly, the razor wasn't cutting these hairs, so they'd just pull until they either pulled from the root or snapped. I tried changing the razor for a fresh blade (even tho this was the first time I used the comb), but it still kept happening. I started noticing new short scraggly, stretched out strands sticking out after each pass with the comb. So I stopped using it after a while and finished my haircut with my trusty sharp hair cutting shears.I gave the comb to my daughter who has very short curly hair. She was able to shape her hair NICELY. She didn't mind any minor snagging since she mostly wears her hair with her natural curls. (She deals with frizz regularly, so a few snaggled ends around her head wasn't a big deal to her.) Also, she had to use the comb differently than I did because she has to cut her hair based on her curl pattern. Based on her results, this comb seems great for achieving very short textured hair cuts (with varying textures from really blended to choppy... whether your hair is curly or straight). In my daughter's case, she was able to do a soft blend with her really short haircut.My daughter also wears wigs sometimes. They're not the most expensive types and some are just for cosplay. She often has to cut the wigs to get the style of hair she wants. She struggles to do this with normal shears. However, she was able to BEAUTIFULLY shape two of her wigs using this comb. One wig went from looking like she took it from an old Halloween display to almost looking like real hair! The shape and layers she added looked like a fresh expensive salon cut. I was genuinely amazed. I almost wanted the comb back until I looked in the mirror and saw my bangs.I should note that the wigs were made of pretty nice quality "synthetic" hair. No real hair. Perhaps the wig material or thickness made it easier for this comb to slice thru without issues. Or maybe it was because my daughter was able to see all around the wig using a mannequin head to position it. It's not really easy to use the comb on your own hair, especially towards the back of your head, unless you have long hair and don't intend to cut much off. My daughter had to use a 3 mirror set up to do her own hair... And she has gotten used to cutting it short by herself after many years of practice. I, personally, can't layer my own hair unless it's a certain length. (I'll admit: The comb was a bit easier to use in certain spots than my shears. But overall, the shears were easier to control and had better predictability. It's too easy to slip up with this comb.)I don't think I'd buy this comb for myself again, but I'd recommend others giving it a try. Just be careful and take your time to understand how this thing can cut your hair.I docked one star because of how my hair kept getting snagged... not because of the unwanted bangs. I think it's nice the comb comes with 5 replacement blades, and the price seems reasonable.

Works great on my husbands thick curly hair. He got it cut the way he wanted very easily--and WAY cheaper than a barber!

Looks great, works well with very sharp razor. Extra razors included.

Works very well

I was a bit disappointed in the fact that the description states that it is stainless steel and when I received it, it appears to be a cheap plastic. I actually purchased this razor comb to remove mats from my Bernes Mountain Dogs under coat. The razor blade lasted for about 5 minutes before it started to pull and not cut well.

I've had a comparable brand before, the razors started rusting because I use the comb when my hair is wet. So I thought I will try a Facon instead.I just started using it so I can't comment on the rust-aspect yet.I thought the whole thing was steel, but it's plastic. Only the razors are steel.When I shake the comb, I can hear the razors slightly move, so it has some 'give' to it, and it is not exactly aligned perfectly.If this one does not rust, I will keep using this brand.If it rusts exactly like the previous brand, I will go back to the previous brand because at least that one has aligned razors that do not clank when I shake the comb.I will update as needed.
