After reading the pro's and con's on carbon steel vs stainless steel razors and with me being a first time straight razor user I had decided it was best to go with a carbon steel razor. Being excited on the day of purchase I forgot the rule of thumb concerning aesthetics vs function and I mindlessly chose a more "pretty" one without realizing I bought a (DOVO Genuine Ebony & "Silver Steel" 5/8) SS until it was (sent to Mr. Abrams about a week ago) too late.

Is this still going to work or should I recoup whatever I can from a resell and get a carbon razor?

Thanks in advance,
