Mystery Feather DE (?) Razor

[Toddster64]

Hi everyone! I haven't posted here in ages, but going through my razor collection, I found this unused Feather razor that resembles a shavette, but uses a proprietary DE blade. Does anyone know what this might be? Is it out of production? Many thanks.

Interesting find. Looks like a Japanese version of the Razorine. Might be a great shaver.

Handle looks like a hair styling razor but those usually had an open comb. Feather still makes one: https://www.jatai.net/product/feather-styling-razor-w/

What do the blades look like?

Matt - while I haven't opened the package, the box matches this one and thus the blades are a kind of funky DE style.

I've never seen the razor before but
If you watch some Japanese barbershop video, you will see similar razors occasionally.

The most common one is the one below called SRS new blade razor. It is often used for final, closer shaving.

There are so many shavettes only known and available to Japan.

Wow this one is new to me. Very nice. I wonder what the date of production is

I’m guessing by the packaging the 1980s? It’s in immaculate condition - I wish I remember how I acquired it!
