Facon Double Edge stainless steel blades

Facon seems to have a good rep among those who use straight razors.  Has anyone  used these double edge blades?

Nothing?

Here Facon looks interesting ...

First time i hear about this brand.

I was curious about the sharpness of this blade after watching the video about it being the sharpest DE blade and took one for the team hear, besides it was less than $5 for 50 blades!! To start off with I went to load my Ti Blackbird with a blade and I had to actually force the blade onto the top cap, (I should've known better), and it was about the same as loading the Wunderbar slant I had once upon a time...

On to the shave and I must admit the 2.5 pass shave I had was not only very comfortable but also ended in a very close BBS shave much like a Feather in the Ti BB. I would even put the sharpness in at least the Feather range and is probably why I had a really close shave but that is probably the only real positive I can give this blade. After the shave was when I ran into what I felt was the real problem in that I couldn't get the blade off the top cap as it was pushed all the way onto the top cap and stuck on the threads of the top cap. I couldn't even get it off with a screwdriver!! What I finally ended up doing was very carefully pinch the blade and snapped it in half on the top cap which finally released it from the death grip it had on my top cap!! Shame I had to do it that way but it is what it is.

I am writing this several hours later and have to say I'm still a pretty solid BBS but would have to say they are nothing more than a 1 shave and done blade for me because I refuse to leave a blade in a $300 razor for multiple shaves. I am very adamant about cleaning my razor after each and every shave and that can't be done without removing the blade. I will probably burn through the rest of the 50 I bought now that I know how to remove them as long as I'm very careful doing it.

I would suggest buyer beware to anyone else that wants to try them...

Thought about doing a follow-up to my last post on this blade and can add that the BBS shave I had lasted well into the 20hr+ realm and close to one of the best shaves I think I've ever had which left me thinking on what to do with the rest of the blades I have. I also wanted to get in another shave, which again was a great BBS, and take some pics of what I was describing the problems I had with the blade and how it fit in my Ti Blackbird. I took a couple pics to try and show the exposure and from what I can see it was pretty even, side to side, to my eye anyway... As you can see in pic #3 how the blade formed to the curvature of the top cap and was stuck in place and not moving at all but It was no problem removing the blade again with snapping it in half to get it off the post screw.
