Just a note to confirm Gayle's information.

In the United States the trademark for Feather manufactured blades is
Accu-Edge.
 Since Bayer(previously named Miles)left the histology market, the Accu-Edge
blades are made exclusively for Sakura Finetek and available through the three
major distributors of Allegiance, VWR, and Government Scientific Sources.

In Canada, the Feather products are available through the Fisher Scientific
group.

I was under the impression that Feather blades aka Miles Accu edge, (Sakura
Finetek) were exclusively made for Sakura, and had no other name.

At the risk of being picky, prompted me to look at the packaging

Accu-Edge is trademarked, and manufactured for Miles (Sakura Finetek) by
the Featehr Safety Razor Co, LTD, Medical Division and made in Japan.

I think these are exclusive products for Sakura.
