    Actually, it's an certain alloy within the group of High Carbon Steels.
    Silver Steel

    Apparently a very good alloy for making razors.

    Best regards,

    Its true that silver steel used in razors has no silver in it. Silver would do nothing to help a razor especially in tiny percentages. Its way too soft. I don't know if the stuff farraday invented is the same or was modified for razors or what.
