I'm thinking if a wide range of blade steels were used in razors it would have been discussed here. But it isn't. Not that I've seen anyway. Also, the blade steel would be identified in more detail in razor adds. If I were to decide I wanted a "nicer" razor, is the blade steel an issue to consider? If I shop for a Dovo that costs $200 or more should I just forget about the steel and focus on other things that I like or dislike about the razors I look at?

Knife blade steels: Some get sharper than others. Some stay sharp longer. Some corrode less. Blade steel in a knife is important because of the wide range of uses for knives. Razors only shave. Is the blade steel a non-issue when deciding on a razor? Thanks for any help.
