I happen to be a manual razor shaver and I found your analogy to this field rather interesting. Safety razor is a standardized market where all blades will fit all razors, and yet

1. You don't see anyone selling their own proprietary blade size. 2. China doesn't actually win this market. A few well-known brands that I've used: Feather (Japanese), Merkur (German), Astra (Turkey) and now I'm trying some Indian blades.
