    If my buddy's Japanese is up to par, than I think your Kamisori example is wrong... I think. I believe the shorter ones are actually sold "for female use" as well. I could be wrong... but the fact is, I have a shorter bladed Kami and it works just fine for this male face .
    Yeah, but you've got real skinny wrists, too.

    Is that a big ol' thumbprint on the blade of the DD?

    Possible but from what I have seen on videos, kamisori for women are very differently shaped than men.
    In any case there are straights that are 2" .

    That's why I like em... they don't make my girly wrists look as small as a full 3" 7/8 LOL .

    You got me - I am giving every blade I have a solid weeks worth of shaving so I am oiling up the blades not in use until I get to them as I store them in my den. I had to go and touch it before the shot... but then I never said I was a photographer lol.

    Does a Kami require a different shaving technique?

    In short - if you are a purest - yes. The purest only sees one side of the blade touching the face, and the other not.

    Otherwise, not really.
