Tokyo, Feb 14 — KAI Corporation today announced the North American launch of THOLL, a revolutionary full-metal razor featuring a world-first* patented magnetic 5-blade swapping system. Debuting on Kickstarter on March 10, 2026, THOLL is designed to challenge disposable shaving culture by offering a durable, long-term alternative.
Designed to be plastic-free, this grooming tool combines the legendary craftsmanship of Japanese steel with a modern pivoting head. It delivers a high-performance, sustainable shaving experience for discerning users who value technical innovation, refined usability, and timeless design.
Key Features of THOLL:
Engineered to Be Plastic-Free
Built entirely from refined metal, THOLL is designed as a permanent alternative to disposable razors. Its solid construction delivers a sophisticated, substantial feel in the hand and is designed for long-term use in daily grooming routines.
World-First Patented Magnetic Assembly (*JP 7754149B, JP7745615B)
THOLL features a patented magnetic attachment system that redefines ease of use. Both the blade unit and front cover snap into place with precise magnetic alignment, ensuring a secure fit, intuitive handling, and effortless maintenance.
Precision Japanese 5-Blade System with Pivoting Head
Crafted using world-renowned Japanese steel, the razor’s pivoting head smoothly follows facial contours for a close, comfortable shave. Despite its advanced 5-blade performance, the blade unit remains exceptionally thin (1.7mm) and lightweight (1.0g), helping to reduce drag and minimize skin irritation.
Sustainable Value: The “Economy of Excellence”
By minimizing throwaway components and employing an efficient blade replacement system, THOLL delivers professional-grade shaving performance at a significantly lower long-term cost compared to conventional cartridge subscription models.
