Yep, you missed doing your homework before belittling the Op's question! Read up on the various grades/types of SS, the various alloying elements such as Nickle, Chromium and others. The alloying elements determine how resistant to rust and other environments that particular alloy is.Self-explanatory, or should this be posted in the humour forum or am I missing something?

Wolfman is another SS razor using type 316 SS. Whether it's overkill, I leave it to the reader to decide.
Is there a way to know for sure?
Missing something bro.... Stainless Steel is a family , not an actual material.Self-explanatory, or should this be posted in the humour forum or am I missing something?
I am not a metallurgist, but I work in manufacturing. We use stainless steel for our product. With the very limited experience that I have with steel, I don't think I would get caught up in the nomenclature. There are some specific quantities of certain components that make up the recipe for stainless steel grades. However, the maker can also add other materials to change the properties, and it is still classified as 316.
What I am saying is, one supplier's version of 316 is not the same as another supplier's version of 316. There is a bit of secret sauce in every formulation.
Bottom line, 300 series stainless is good stainless. I personally don't care beyond that.
All this is just my experience. I don't have the scientific data to back it up...
