• How many retail goods are made in the USA today?  I happen to be wearing a pair of New Balance shoes that are USA made, but everything else is imported.
  
  What are you wearing right now that is made in the USA?

  I guess Armani thinks Pakistan is upscale as that's where my Armani Exchange T shirt came from.

  I don't use razor blades as such only disposable razors. Apart from the Gillette Mach 3 blade part which is made in Germany all the other's [4 types] are assembled in China or Mexico but have blades made in USA. So, I can only say according to what I can buy in Australia that the USA appears to make most of the worlds blades for disposables. And, they are very impressively sharp.

• I've heard some scary stories about those Feathers from Japan.

• What stories Tom?

• I've heard some stories from experienced DE shavers that have sliced themselves up pretty good with Feather razors as they seem to be honed to a much sharper edge than normal.

• You must respect the feather blades. If you don't they will bleed respect out of you lol    all kidding aside they are very sharp and require a little more concentration and a liter touch with them over most other blades I have used. I am a fan of the Astra blade in the green box. They give me a full week of face and head shaves. They cost me $10 for 100.

• Feathers were the first DE blade I used and were they not so expensive they'd be the only ones I'd use.  Super sharp yes, but I also find them super smooth, and they taught me quickly the rules of no pressure and being careful with my angle!

• I have seen on the web somewhere but I can't find it now -- maybe someone can tell me where?
  What am I talking about -- I'm talking about 200 times photomicrographs of straight edge razors. There were about 10 different brands and the feather was the only one that still looked really sharp at 200X magnification.
  
  The feather had an extra honed "angle" on it that the other one's didn't have -- I reckon that they have a unique manufacturing process.
