Impressive amount of straight razors here: my modest list:

Filarmonica #13 Koolstofstaal 6/8
Filarmonica #14 (1e gen.) Koolstofstaal 15/16
Filarmonica #14 (2e gen.) Koolstofstaal 8/8
Fuji Koolstofstaal 13/16
Gold Rex Assab Steel 13/16
Heljestrand mk 7 Koolstofstaal 5/8
Henckels Friodur 6/8 RVS 6/8
Henckels Friodur 7/8 RVS 7/8
Iwasaki no stamp Onbekend 13/16
Koraat Purist #14 Zilverstaal 7/8
Molly (Kayser Wilhelm staal) Zilverstaal 7/8
Schulze rasiermesser #14 Koolstofstaal 7/8
Wacker Allround Koolstofstaal 6/8


Staal=steel
Koolstof = carbon
Zilver = silver
RVS = urinal steel
 
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.
