Look at the specs from the Damasteel site and you will see that the PMC-27 steel is below what I would like in in hardness for a razor steel. It sounds like an exceptional knife steel, but I want performance in my high end razor, not just "pretty" Even their own site does not list a hardness for the Damascus and I could find no heat treated chart for it. Of course THIS conversation is one for The Forge! Either way, I wish you great success on this bold endeavor. As an average Joe who opened a winery on his own, I truly understand the difficulty such an undertaking involves.
