That's to bad "no one wants to use stainless for shaving". I have an I. Oxley 5/8", Dovo Prima stainless 5/8", and a Hess 44 5/8" ....they are harder to sharpen but seem to retain an edge very well and are also my favorites to use.
Agreed! I really like my 7/8 square point Friodur and have a 6/8 round point on it's way :)
Nice!, I don't seem to come across to many bigger blades around here, especially stainless.
The two you have are excellent specimens indeed! Unless you really like a bigger blade there's no point to going bigger! I'd love to see a pic of those blades, especially the HESS; every one i've seen is gorgeous.
Call me strange then, I have 3 and a fourth on the way.

I started a new thread in the razors section asking for everyone to post pics of their stainless blades, don't forget to drop a note there :)
Hess 44 Stainless! And, yes getting a frown out was a bit of work! Fabulous shaver and well repaid the work involved!

Hess 44, in as found condition, a light cleaning and a little honing, at work right now and this is the only one I could find here.
The I. Oxley has a smile with the original horn scales. I'll dig up some pics when I get home. The Dovo, is newer with wood scales, and some goldwash on the spine and face.

Stainless Steel is harder to hone then Carbon ?????
Huh, Really ???? I would have never known that if you guys hadn't told me :)
I smile a bit every time I read that on the forums...
Another Vote here for the Hess #44 being the top dog of the SS pile
