Yes, there always is a bit more to it. People in several different countries were working on developing stainless steel and did succeed in doing so around the same time period. The type of stainless alloy did differ I believe though.

Indeed. That was basically what that link said. Although my story was in there linked with the man you mentioned ad a romantic low possibility for him. Still like it, heard it from a man in a pub in Sheffield. Probably just a good urban legend.
Yea, good as any and besides life would be dull without urban legends.

From "The Dominion Saturday, March 27, 1915" which I found online but cannot remember where any more. I have made an enlargement of the section of interest:

WHICH stainless alloy and WHICH carbon? For comparison, you must first lock coordinates.
as someone who hones and shaves though- my preference is most always for carbon steel razors.
I have only owned vintage stainlees blades and all the ones I shaved with were great shavers they felt a little different to hone but the final edge was as good as any carbon blade, I recently sold a vintage blade a Ed Wushtof stainless steel razor it was an exceptional shaver.

Wouldn't say mass produce, but Aust certainly has stainless option.
Boker makes a stainless steel SR too.
