Thread: Is cryo treatment of vintage razors worth doing?

Here's a thread where I posted some of my thoughts a few months ago, about cryo applications to steel. The principle of how deep freezing works would be the same for speaker wires, just limited to copper or aluminum whatever the conductor material is.

Old razors will likely not benefit from cryo treatment since they would be predominantly high carbon low alloy materials. It might be possible for some post 1900 razors to be stainless materials that might benefit from cryo treatment but would also require a tempering cycle afterward.

Unless you knew how a particular razor was heat treated, and the materials, it would be difficult to predict any benefit.
