Yesterday I visited a well-known Japanese shopping center in Edgewater, NJ. (There are large Korean or Korean-American populations in nearby Englewood and Leonia, and I imagine some Japanese-Americans too.) Nowhere near as large or impressive as one I once visited in suburban Toronto, but still nice enough. It includes a supermarket with cosmetics and toiletries, but alas, the men's shaving section only had cheap plastic disposables and multi-blade cartridges, a couple made by Feather, but mostly from a brand called Gatsby. The housewares aisle had knives made by Kai, but no Kai razor blades.
It looks like the average guy in Japan is no more a shaving enthusiast than the average guy in the US of A.
