    Personally I'm hoping for a new forum category: Freaks of Steel, with a lot of fascinating inexplicable razor related info.

Since the steel grain was oriented in the same direction a month later it's safer to assume that the razor did not change much since steel is a fairly stable material once hardened. Therefore the problem is in the observer.

    Or it was a slow news day

    I think the term, 'freaks of steel', defines many of us .....

    HAHA!

    You are right, I asked for shaving soap in a shop today, she asked what type of razor I use.
    When I said straight razor the whole shop went quiet!
