Hi guys,
My razor is no more, however I have converted it to a frameback.
The steel was supposed to be BS 970 (1970/72) 060A86, Carbon 0.80-0.93%
Manganese 0.60-0.90%
which is equivelent to AISI 1084 though I have reservations about this due to the source. Hard to believe you can screw up ht for this steel but edge was moving (wavy) during final grind (soft).
Must admit I was a little disapointed at first, but having gone down the frameback root it has turned out to be a great experience and loads of fun. Have followed Charlies (spazolla) instructions. Sorry Charlie don't know your surname. My goal is to make a proto that will give a good shave. Will up some photo's soon.
Lessons learnt - No mystery steel, have just ordered some O1
