Indeed, Zak, it would seem the Yanks were on their way to fine steel at a very early date. Much earlier than I suspected!
Thanks!
Article from newspaper about manufacturing of razors from Geneva cutlery clearly states them using "English" steel.

Thats pretty cool! Uncle Sam is waiting for the English and their steel to arrive at the docks and has seemingly put the Sheffielder to pouring steel and the German to pounding out blades! I noted that the 1917 article mentions "Genco". Neat ads! :D
It is fair to say that Geneva Cutlery used Sheffield steel.
Also the Pyramid line of razors after 1916. what about the numbers inside the pyramid? ive seen 7, 7n, 23, blank, like zaks on this thread what do they mean model number?
how about this one SS? stainless steel? seconds?
