    I can only say what I've read about two carbon steel types “White-2” and “Blue-2”, these give a HRC hardness of between 58-60 for “White-2” and 60+ HRC for “Blue-2”.

    This hardness in practice makes little difference to the shave itself, the main practical difference is in the ease of maintenance - “White-2” will take an edge more easily but “Blue-2” should retain its edge longer.

    You can always drop the vendor an email. Takeshi from Aframestokyo has always been extremely helpful when I've emailed him.
