    I have 3 Challenge razor in my collection, gave a nice shave when I tried it, so I bought several more made in CT razors (Landers, Frary and Clark, and a Hartford Razor as well since I live in CT!

    Blue Steel:



    Need to do some cleanup on this one:



    Had to do some cleanup on this one, has dark black scale on lots of the tang and some of the blade area, but cleaned up well with MAAP and I could see the rifle etching on the blade still! This one gave one of my best SR shaves when I tried a few times a few months ago when I first got in to SR's. Had issues honing, so I put them aside while I used a DE to get used to wet shaving from the cartridge razors, getting ready to go back into SR's now!

    Those are nice and should serve you well. They do have some hard steel in 'em for sure.
    Here's one I don't shave with. It's never been honed except at the factory.

    We are not worthy of Martin's devotion to research.
