I am curious about the use of these two metals in making razors. I collect knives, off and on, and a local knifemaker has used both of these metals (I have owned a couple in the dendritic and it looks great as well as cutting well). Is there a reason they aren't used in straight razors? I would think the dendritic especially would be popular since when acid etched (just as you would with damascus) it has a great appearance.

just curioius.
