A company called Kyocera has popularized the use of "advanced ceramics" for cutting tools, like kitchen knives etc. do some research if you want a bit more technical info, but the basic premise is the there are a few types of newly discovered ceramics that stay sharper much longer than even the best steel (high carbon and stainless). Thus outperforming nearly all other knives on the market. In fact they rank "2nd to diamonds in hardness" as quoted from the Kyocera website.

The drawback is that they are brittle , and are not suitable for all cutting tasks like cutting through bone, prying meat off of bones, etc. which are fairly uses common for kitchen cutlery, thus making them somewhat undesirable.

My question is to you razor-meisters that have experienced the ultimates in razordom: would there be a market for a razor made of this extremely hard, fine, sharp ceramic? and at what price?

I've got a few sources for the material to try and make some prototypes, and will report back if there's any interest.

Thanks for your help guys!
