Plus the Bismark is, honestly, a piece of art, it's just a nice looking razor, as well as an incredibly functional one.
DOVO Straight Razors
Get what you really want, its your razor! Carbon steel is better steel then stainless but both will work equally well, some differences but both will be great. Sure carbon is more of a pain to keep dry but that's kinda the point, slow down and enjoy. That being set if you want the stainless get it! The DOVO Bismark is a work of art and a great blade, the special tortoise shaves well and is quite nice both good choices if you want to go carbon.
