Blades that go in Hawk, General, Ikon, Cobra, El Jefe razors. from Kai and Feather. As far as I can work out are manufactured in Japan and are for use in straight razors that hold these blades. The original idea was they be used by professional barbers to shave their customers. Essentially high end shavettes if you like.
The razors like the Hawk etc are made in the west by companies who don't have any connections to the blade manufacturers. I'm not sure the blade manufacturers ever though that these blades could be used in a safety razor.
Does anyone know who it was that first had the idea that using them in safety razors would work very well.?Did they design and produce it themselves or did they enlist the services of others?
I have the feeling that these razors have a relatively short history. Does anyone know it?
