We have had quite a few posts on the subject of sheffield steel but I don't know if anyone has ever melted some down and analyzed it. You might research this.
New knowledge about the composition of the steel. I'll pass on doing a meltdown and analysing the metal. I know about the "silver" term used for it. A marketing gimmick. I am guessing "cast" steel is the same too? Whatever formulas they used way back then was and is still pretty darn good. Some very old razors still being used on a daily basis.
