New guy looking for a new affordable straight. So far I've looked at the vintage stuff but I really want a new blade not a vintage. I've come across a couple options in my price bracket the gold dollar 208 for 50$ and the 800 for 65. They are honed by a sharper razor. The only difference between them from what he is saying is the 208 is carbon and the 800 is stainless.

Are there any other options in the 50-75$ range for a new blade? I'm wanting to eventually learn to hone but I wanted a blade I can use first. If these are my best option for now then should I get the carbon or the stainless?

I've already looked at the whipped dog offerings
