    Thanks for the info. I don't think they use that term in the UK.
    I'd say that a Japanese straight razor would be much more aesthetically pleasing than a disposable.

    Also a lot more expensive.

    Though given the choice, I'd go with the Japanese straight every time. It would be superior in every way except price (and maybe convenience).

    I saw a Japanese video of a lady getting the facial shave treatment and thought I should try shaving my forehead near my hair lines and eyebrows. I shaved this area with the same soap and brush I use for shaving and I was so impressed at how it looked and felt after the shave and now I do this once per week.

    I think this is the video that you are referring to....The first time I saw it I was completely flabbergasted.

    Man...you stole the words right outta my mouth.....That's Craft right there,pure n simple.Beautiful ! But then I would expect nothing less from the Japanese when it comes to art and cutlery for that matter.

    What you're looking for are KAI disposable razors:

    with guard:
    Amazon.com: Kai Razor BeautyGuard Razors, 5-pc.: Health & Personal Care

    you can find em without guards also, but i think they only come in pink without the guard... i know because i learned to shave with them before getting my straights. sooo sharp, but too light to get a nick-free shave with reliably.
