What on earth is "urinal steel"?

We have an expression in Dutch, pisbakkenstaal, which translates to urinalsteel and basically means a kind of shitty quality steel. RVS however is RoestVrij Staal = rustfree steel = stainless steel. Usually, stainless razors, especially when they're Henckels, are not made of shitty steel.
