What is the difference between Damascus steel, carbon steel and stainless steel as far as the shave is concerned. I have a carbon steel and a RW 34 stainless steel Mastro Livi. I can feel the difference in the way the razors perform but they both give very smooth close shaves. Is the Damascus really worth more then double? I should have my new Mastro Livi Stainless steel here this week and will post pictures. I swore this was my last one but I love the look of the Damascus. Who wants to retire?
