A North American product was released around 5 years ago. I am not sure you could improve on it. I can't remember the name other than it was abbreviated to three letters.

The folding Excelia was the best by far. How I miss that razor. I gave mine away.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.
Hey! Of course, I am who you think I amManumik if you are who I think you are then you know my opinion. (the guy from Belgium)

That is definitely something I also hear a lot. Especially from people who already have some knowledge about the whole wet shaving topic. I talked to a lot of different people to get the best idea who could be the ideal customer for that razor. Some men had almost zero knowledge but always like the Idea, some have beards and use shavettes regularly to style their beards. The funny part is the more people I talk to the more differant aswers I got.Your conversations with people about why they are put off by traditional straights does not match with mine over the last few years. It isn't a big solid blade that puts someone off it is the cost of maintenance. If they could find a shavette which behaved and seemed just like a traditional straight buy required only blade changes or some other easy cost effective maintenance (like a rolls razor) then they would purchase that. Current blade formats do not fulfil that need.
Be careful - your starting market analysis might not be quite right.
That is a wonderful question. Thanks for bringing that up.Maybe the pro barber market is the market to aim for?
