would that razor do the trick for me?
or what is the best disposable razor blades?

I don't know anything about that razor you mention but the barbers that I'm familiar with that trim your neck or sideburns use a Shavette by Dovo. You can use a regular DE blade with them.

thanks a lot
im gonna get that one

does it come with the blades

I really don't know. It might be good to give them a call or an e-mail just to be sure. There is the red, black or green holder so be sure to get the right version for what you want it for.

ML, do you want the razor for your sideburns only? If you're going to shave your whole face with it, I'd recommend the Shavette or Feather razors. They are desinged for shaving, not just shaping. I've never used a Shavette but I can attest that the Feather is made very well (try classicshaving.com). A little expensive (starts at $100) but the shave is great as long as you use a light touch). You get what you pay for with buying new str8 shaving equipment. The one you're looking at may only be suitable for touching up and shaping sideburns/back of neck.

i want it for sideburns and outlining only
so would the shavette be the best for that purpose?

The Shavette will do just fine. Even the one you're looking at would probably serve you well also.
