Hi everyone again I am a bit confused about the materials used for razors and their properties when it comes to use. I have read a few places that stainless steel is not a good idea at first because it is not easily honed, but other than that I am unsure on what to do because I have seen carbon steel razors on ebay with no idea the difference between the two. Could someone please help me out with what blade materials to avoid at first as a newbie?

I am going to do a little more research on the strop and hones that would be my best bet (I have a limited budget and knowledge). Thank you!!!
