I'm waiting till the first anyway, when the SRD monthly deals are new. then I'll make a final decision. I'll consider the sight unseen, but I'll rephrase my other question. What's the difference between Silver Steel and Stainless Steel in terms of quality.

Not sure, but IIRC Stainless etc are harder to hone and keep sharp but as I have never used anything but a carbon steel I'll defer that question to more qualified people

Straight Razor Designs has a deal that ends this month- free honing for the life of the razor purchased.

Silver steel is carbon steel & prone to the rusting you seem concerned about. The 'sight unseen' razors I've seen already have a history of rust as they are vintage razors so if it is a big concern for you a new stainless razor may suit you better.
