Thread: Be-Glad Japanese Shavette

I was looking at Japanese web sites for Feather and Kai razors. I came across the Be-Glad_Kamisori.
From the description it says it has a bulge in the holder near the blade similar to the Feather SS or kai Luffy:

The bulge is not obvious in the photos, so perhaps it would be between Feather SS and Feather DX.
Here is a link to the web site: ビーグラッド　カミソリ è²*けしにくい、肌に゠„さしいレザー - ビーグラッド(Be-Glad) 痛くないカミソリ It appears you can switch the handle from Japanese to Western style (which is translated as leather style)
Pictures of the razor:

This seems to be a high end product with each razor having its own serial number. It seems from what I could read from google translation that this razor, was introduced in stainless steel around May 2014.
The price is shown to be 19,000 yen on the factory literature, and around 20,000 yen on Japanese shopping sites. This is around 165$ at todays exchange rates. I believe that in Japan this is more
expensive than the feather DX.
If anyone is interested you can purchase it through White rabbit which will do any transaction you find on a Japanese web site for about a $7 fee, plus actual shipping costs. whiterabbitjapan.com

Has anyone seen this product before? How does it compare to the Feather products? Here is a close up:
