So a silver steel blade is harder than most others?
Do you have any idea of the hardness or carbon content of steels used in most Solingen razors?

I think the old Sheffield Silver Steel is the same as the Silver Steel produced today, since most of it comes from Stubs whose been manufacterering the same steel for a long time.
Silver Steel is just 1.15% carbon, 0.50% Cr, 0.35% Mn. Can reach up to 66 rc but I don't think the vintage ones are nearly that hard. TI hardens it up to 65 rc. Japanese White Steel is the same thing but without the Cr.
Hi everyone. This straight razor is for sale. Does anyone have an idea about the quality of the razor? Does it worth to pay around $100? Thanks.Attachment 142436
