Steel treatment in new Thiers Isarrd razors?
Steel treatment in new Thiers Isarrd razors?
Hi everyone:
At the rasurpur site, it states the characterictics of the
steel in the new 5/8 Silverwing II as such:
Will all of Thiers Isarrd razors have their steel
treated as such?
Thanks
There it is is. The new 5/8 Silverwing II razor made from the best steel available today.
It is made from the finest and best carbon steel and has an amazingly high content of carbon. (really good carbon steel contains 1% of carbon. This steel has 1.35% carbon!)
Due to a new hardening process the back of the razor is a bit "softer" than the edge. This is giving the razor's back more flexibility and more sharpness to the edge.
The hardness is around 65 Rockwell (The "older" new blanks are around 60-62 Rockwell.)
