I don't know about the others, but I have used niolox (SB-1) as razor steel. You can get it from Achim in Germany

Thanked: 219
Is it good stuff? Does it need special HT? I have seen that SB-1 can be bought in 6,5mm thickness, and can have high hardness with a fine grain structure, sound like a good candidate for a razor.

Ok, this may be controversial, but I will yes and no.
Yes, if you want to max out on a specific hardness, it needs special HT. Special, as in more difficult than carbon steel.
However, I HT it like normal carbon steel, but a bit hotter. And I get consistent 59.5 HRC as verified by Mike Blue, with a very fine grain structure.
So I say no, if 59.5 is high enough for you.
And as you say, it can be bought in 6.5 mm which makes it ideal for making razors.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.
