Couldn't agree more - it is definitely a top-three stress reliever for me!

It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

I'm liking the pattern! That's going to be a nice looking razor.

What is the resulting carbon content in that razor?

Kinda skeptical about that blank, considering that 38 $ is extremely cheap. It makes me think about thise 70$ ebay damascus razors Originally Posted by shooter74743

Bruno I never use any type of blanks making knives or razors,as for the carbon content I don't have a chemical makeup for the blend but the majority of the billet is high carbon steel . Originally Posted by Bruno

You notice I have never bought any...good knife steels, but from what I have read they (the steels chosen for the layers) can be a bit toothy for a razor due to the carbides. Originally Posted by Bruno

We shall see,I think it will work fine,5200 is considered close to O1 and O1 is my go to steel.The 5160 should be ok as it produces a edge that dosent get chippy.My favorite Damascus is simply O1 and 15N20 Originally Posted by shooter74743

203E is mild steel though. Only .2% carbon. Originally Posted by AKwildman

The Damascus has a fairly low layer count so not a whole lot of carbon migration yet, and the nickel layer is running through the edge a lot. So I am wondering about how many low carbon boundaries will be criss crossing the edge.Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

There was no mention of pure nickel. That would stop carbon migration entirely. 15N20 or 203E doesn't have enough nickel to prevent it. Carbon migration has probably maxed out if this is run through four welding cycles.

There are 3 other carbon steels used in the makeup,15N20 is 1070 with nickel added .There are 10 layers of carbon steel and 3 layers of 203E with a finished layer count of if my memory serves me 416 layers.If you mix it with a high carbon steel and fold it a few times the carbon content will equalize through the blade. This last statement comes from a paper on using 203E in Damascus from a metalurgest and I wanted to link to it but the link is broken.Back in the day when pattern welded Damascus made its debue 203E was what 15N20 is today.It's added by some manufacturers of Damascus to give a high contrast.I won't be back in my shop for another week and a half when I will finish this razor up but I'm hedging it will turn out excellent.
