Yes they do. I can get it in Germany as stock.
They don't export Tamahagane. At least, not in large quantities.
Even that can be bought though, at fairly insane prices for a raw nugget (40 euro for 100 g).

In germany? Dictum shop or dieter tools , but only Aogami not super aogami .

Imo shirogami and aogami are better suited steels for razors, but thats true that dictum doesn't sell AS. If I remember right than most japanese kamisoris that use japanese hagane are made from shirogami-1.

Your kami looks very nice non the less, I would love to get my hands on some japanese steel too I think I will order some for myself to to try it out.

thank you !!
shirogami #1 . it is not easy to find :/ .

I play every day with both the steel: : C130 ( 1,3% , mostly clean ) and the 145sc (<3 ) , 1,45%C : DIN SC145 Knife Steel Composition Analysis Graph And Information Details

In my opinion those steels are as nice as they can get for a razor. I don't think anyone could tell them apart while shaving in a blind test from japanese or any other super clean high carbon steel.
