Thread: Honing hard steel razors and russian razors

There are good Soviet razor and shave them comfortable, but some need to be corrected in the grinder. Often broken geometry of the blade.

I thought TI used Sheffield Steel.

And some Sheffields were made with Swedish steel.

I.e. uddeholm aebl or sandvik 13c26?

Highly unlikely unless those steels were made as early as the 1700's.
More commonly iron ores were exported from mines like Dannemora & then turned into cast/blister/shear steel at destination.

Ahaaa... will try to find out more...
