The steel content is all those razor blades.

Schick quit making refill cartridges for the variety (forget the
advertising name for it) some time ago and the ridiculously expensive
and bulky alternatives now available were totally unpalatable to me so
I've reverted to the single blade double-edge safety razor of yore (not
_quite_ back to the straight razor started with ). With it and a
Wilkinson blade (metal) with either Barbasol or Noxema aerosol foam it's
as good as the multi-edge as far as I can tell (or at least care about)...

I used to use the Barbasol as well. I should try it again.

Years ago I thought my teen daughter was spending to much on fancy
shaving cream for her legs, I bought her an 88 cent can of Barbasol.
It didn't take.

I've been using Wilkinson soap for several years along with Trac II
knock off blades. I tried one of the five blade free samples but it
felt like I was shaving with a file.I only shave my neck and around my
mouth, haven't shaved my jaw line since a hotel fire burned a gap in
my razor blade in 1972.
