I have some knives made out of ATS 34. I think it's a bad steel for a razor, because while it can get very sharp, it forms micro-serrations and chips at the microscopic level. I don't think the shaves will be as smooth as other metals. Well, paste on strop may prevent the micro-chipping for the time being, but over time they will come back. I want a razor made out of a finer grain stainless steel like CPM S30V.
