No, that's Korean.CJB?
That's it. IBC. Only in regards to Shavettes.IBC the Irvin Barber Company. If Manumik is who I think then he has succeeded in improving on it IMHO (impressions from test razors)
I owned many folding and non folding shavettes like Feather Artists (RG-SS-DX), Schick ProLine, KAI (captains, Excelia), CJB, Sam Seong, Kamisori and a whole bunch of shavettes that use half or whole DE blades or the long shavette blades. My favorites are still the Feather DX and Schick ProLine among those named.
Yes, I'm aware of the IBC razor. I especially like the balance of those razors.That's it. IBC. Only in regards to Shavettes.
I do not consider AC razors, Shavettes.
Why not? What are they then?I do not consider AC razors, Shavettes.

That's what we need... Someone to make an inexpensive frame back with set of blades... and offer it with a good honing service.I'd say disposable blade straights. They follow the Japanese tradition of the kamisori, with small blade length.
I see shavettes as nape shapers. For hairdressing. There is a difference with razors that are designed for full face shaving, like the Feather AC (head shaving, too) or the vintage Weck or Durham Duplex; point being, these are straights that you can replace the blade on. As a point of fact, the frameback pioneered this, sometimes sold or supplied with a set of replacable blades or able to be replaced by a knife grinder (Engstrom, for example).
Shavettes that take a half DE blade were designed for shaping around hair edges, perhaps shaping beards and so on.
Anyhoo ... if you enjoy shaving with a shavette, carry on.
