Info about Heljestrand Meteor steel

[cc21]

Hi!
I found a very interesting Heljestrand Eskilstuna Sweden 5/8 that on the blade has the incisione
'Strindberg & BiörcksI w. MeteorStål"

Strindberg & BiörcksI was a sweden Company so probably the razor was done for them, but the Meteor steel Is new to me.

There are several sweden razors with the Meteor steel on the blade.

Somebody know more about them?
Thank you

I have a vague recollection that some iron meteorites were also fairly high carbon and also contained some nickel, making them more rust resistant than ordinary iron or steel. What connection that has with razor blades is up to your imagination!

Probably some advertizing thing, just like Radiumite or Magnetic blades. No radium (or radioactivity) and all carbon steel is "magnetic" in that it can be magnetized. Shaving with a magnetized razor probably isn't gonna be much different than an non-magnetic one, but around the turn of the last century a lot of pseudo-scientific stuff made it's way into advertising.
