Price is not really a factor nor is aesthetics. Quality wise, I'm sure both are about the same as well. Primarily, my question hinges upon the stainless steel versus the carbon steel. I'll be purchasing from one of the reputable sites that offers prehoning as part of the purchase, so that should be a non-issue. But, while I'm fairly experienced with shaving, I still have a long way to go before I try to hone. Thus, I want something that not only takes a great edge, but maintains one. Which would be better in that regard?

If a definitive answer doesn't come through, then I might just have to buy both! lol

Thanks everyone for any input or feedback you might have!
