Hey all! I have a lot of experience with the standard longer Western straight razors, and have recently grown to love the Kataha (Kamisori blade that folds into western scales) razor because the blade are shorter. It takes a bit longer to clear out my cheeks, but I find the tradeoff is preferrable for the increased control the shorter blade provides.
I would love to expand the options though away from the Japanese razors, but I am not familiar with any Western razors that had shorter blade lengths. Were there any? Anyone have directions I can look in? For this unfamiliar, Kataha have blade lengths ~53mm.
