    There are many types of these razors in Japan, here's a page from the Shick Japan website... scrolling down to the bottom shows the edge geometry they use on their disposable blades. It's quite different to traditional straight and is partly the reason why you can shave for two weeks with blades like the Feather Pro Supers and by the time you want to toss it out, it's almost as shave as a freshly honed razor.

    I use a Tosuke, a Wapi and now own a Carl Rader 4/8. I do enjoy my japanese style Feather though, it provides a hell of a good shave!
