What kind of steel in my disposable razor blades?

[Uncle Bill]

Anybody know what the disposable razor people use?

Do different companies use different steels, or is it all about the same?

Look at the www.specialtyblades.com site as they list among other steels, razor blade steel :^) It seems to be a plain stainless like 420 or 440A.

I've been told Sandvik 12C27 is rampant among razor blades, who knows...jeff

Wasn' t it Wilkinson co. who advertised their blades as "...high chromium steel..."? I recall this from TV ads from way back when.
Should be some stainless type, no?
