Not sure what you mean.. The link I clicked on took me to a run of the mill 5/8 hollow ground straight razor with carbon fiber scales. It hones no differently than any other straight that I can tell.
Get a translation, read it, and then hover over the second photo for an enlarged view. You'll see a groove across the blade about 1/3 of the way up that I think is intended to make the cutting edge move like a flap on an airplane wing, limiting the pressure you can put on your face before the edge just flattens out on your skin. Floating-head plastic disposable razor technology brought to the straight?

I think what you are seeing in that pic is a reflection. Look at the rest of their wares, they look like a re branded Dovo to me.
"Razor is designed for care-conscious modern man."
The text does say it has a groove to give it a flex edge.

My German is close to non-existent, so sentences like the following are hard for me: Neu ist das von uns entwickelte FlexEdge-System (Design geschützt) für noch mehr Flexibilität in der Klinge, ohne die Schneidkante weiter zu schwächen. From the end-view, the blade seems to have some sort of offset groove to it, allowing for more "flex." Honing does look tricky there, although the spine is pretty beefy.
Anyway, I hope it really catches on, to the point where everyone abandons their regular straight-razor collecting for these kind of razors, leaving me to collect the traditional kind at a much lower price point!

I see, it does have a groove cut in it. Interesting.
Translation according to Google Translate
I wonder how the offset groove would affect switching hands while shaving?
nice gimmick....???
I want one... Just to see if I can hone it.
Looks like a gold dollar. Someone grind a groove into theirs to find out.
Would it it cut you more when it suddenly collapses on you face mid pass? Kind of dig out a chunk of meat from your face?

I think it works like a suspension of some kind. Originally I thought that it goes in and out of the spine (frame) but now I'm thinking it may be flapping like on a airplain wing as a fellow said in the above post. The other razors are definetly Solingen blanks made by Dovo or similar Solingen maker.
i'll stick with mine that dont do that....
that scares the qwap out of me...

I used to have one that was a wedge before (well, similar)... Vintage straight of course... How it shaved? No clue, the edge was rotten... Sadly...
i call marketing shenannigans
In my opinion (everyone has one 
)
It looks to be a pretty heavy grind, at least for a production razor.
I think the "flex" they are talking about is the same amount of flex you get with a extra hollow ground blade.
Like I said, that just my opinion from looking at the pic. It be interesting to see one first hand
