    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.

    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.

    The Dominion was the local paper here in Wellington, NZ. Not counting China, who besides Dovo mass produce a stainless razor?

    Wouldn't say mass produce, but Aust certainly has stainless option.
