Abrasion resistance of the steel and carbide size and distribution also play a lot in how a razor feels on the stones, and how it holds it's edge.

    So no, we are not randomly making the steel 'very very hard' as you say, rather we're making it sufficiently hard for the type of steel used and for the blade's given purpose.

    They will hopefully fare better than the "new" Pumas...
    Still can't believe they released those abominations.
