As a side question, the linguistic discussion has me wondering, what did people in China, Japan, and other parts of Asia traditionally shave with?

Oh, and my Russian-English dictionary gives me бритва (brítva) for "razor," with электрическая бритва (elektrícheskaya brítva) for electric razor, but nothing specifically for a straight razor. I'll have to dig a bit more unless someone else knows the specific Russian term.
