Whats better, 1045, or 440 stainless steel?


Two different shaving razors I'm looking to buy have different specs. in terms of the metals used for the blade; one being 1045 surgical stainless steel, the other 440 stainless (not sure if its A B or C, but probably 440A or 440B because it's not specified). So which one is better for the intended use as a shaving razor?
For what reasons is 1045 steel better for a shaving razor?

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel
Type 440 combines such a high grade of cutlery steel, toughness and economy that it is actually known as razor blade steel.

Browsing around (a lot) more, it seems that 1045 Surgical Steel is popular in straight razors used by barbers. These razors are honed by stropping with leather and last practically forever.

From the above, I would guess that it might be easier to lose the edge on 1045, but also easier to re-sharpen it, that it won't easily "knick" because probably not so hard as 440. I'm not sure if it would be more expensive, unless it has a superior handle etc. So, I would expect to spend a little more effort over the lifetime of the 1045, maybe pay a little more for it, but have a longer lifetime.

Help, My 13 Year Old Son Eat's His Bugger's.?


He has been picking his nose for as long as I can remember. I caught him eating them a time or two and made a comment. I figured his friends would see him doing it and he would stop because of peer pressure. I walked into the bathroom the other day and he had a pair of hemostats (stainless steel surgical plyers) He had them in his mouth and I knew they were just in his nose. What can I do ?? 0r what to say ??? I asked him why and he said he loves them. I dont think he is growing out of this. Can anyone help ??? thanks

buggers- refering to bogies in english terms are rather tasty and there is nothing you can stop him doing, i frequently EAT mine :D get over it and join in :P x

as he gets older however he will grow out of it! :D

let him be a child :P
