    There is a reason that most razors are in the HRC range of 58-60. That range produces stable edges on the steel.

    Just my 2¢

    Gotta agree with my friend Randy

    We all had to go through TI's idea to take their CarbonSong up to 66rhc,,, that didn't last long before they backed it down

    +1... Iwasaki tamahagane razors are the only high HRC razors that are exceptional.
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
