O1 heat treating problem

It seems to succeed. I will refine the edge, but everything looks good.

This is worked for me:
I leaved 1.5 mm thikness of the edge.
soaking: 805C / 1480F, 8 min.
quenching oil: 50-60C / 130F, 20 sec
tempering: after cooling to room temperature, 200-205C / ~400F, 2x1h (between cooling to room temperature)

After the shave test:

Blade looks great! Sounds like you got it right this time.

Update!

I created the original razor again.

My process:
I leaved 1.5 mm thikness of the edge.
soaking: 805C / 1480F, 8 min.
quenching oil: 55C 20 sec
tempering: after cooling to room temperature, 210C 2x1h (between cooling to room temperature)
After this I sanded a few tenths of millimeters from the edge.

Conclution after the test: I got the best, smooth, sharp edge ever. I am very happy, and thank you for your help!

The owner is also very satisfied with the razor.
