Stainless Steel Straight
Just got a new stainless Dovo Straight with woodgrain finish. I will test tomorrow. I wonder if it will shave diferent from the carbon Dovo?

Welcome Boom
Cool.
Which razor is it exactly? Did you get it honed? What strop are you using?
Inqiring minds want to know.

I bought one of Tony's second 3" Red Strops plus I have the paddle 4 sided strop from Tony. The straight Is a Dovo IN OX, Stainless I picked up on Ebay for a good Price.

I don't really notice any discernable difference in the quality of my shaves between a carbon and a stainless (assuming both are sharpened properly). I expect the difference is that the stainless will hold it's edge a bit longer (and of course won't rust). Let us know how it goes.

I am wondering whether the stainless will have to be stropped longer on the leather? How often would you use the linen or the paddle strop?

I would treat it like any other razor. At least that's what I do. I strop it before every shave (20 laps on linen and 50 laps on leather).
