Stokes63,
I have the following stainless razors : Henckels Friodur, 2 Dovo EnVogue (Micarta) and a Wusthof.
They all shave every bit as well as my carbon steel razors.
Honing wise, I haven't had any problems with stainless blades (so far !!).
I think as long as the razor is a quality peice, carbon or stainless, there should be no problems :)
Best regards
Russ
