trondsi,
The 'Silver Steel' is a variation on the standard carbon steel blade. It's a slightly different alloy that - IME - tends to hold an edge a little longer. There is an in-depth discussion of the alloys
here. I treat mine just like any other carbon blade.
Small alloy differences aside, the 'Silver Steel' is just one gorgeous Dovo. The goldwash is nice without being over-the-top, and the ebony scales are very classy. The one I own happened to be acquired from VintageBlades and was honed by Lynn; it's a great shaver!
