Thread: Let's See your stainless blades!

A recent ebay ad made me grumpy... the seller said that No one wants to use a stainless for shaving as they are extremely hard to sharpen.

WELL, why don't we all show our stainless blades??? C'mon guys, get them out and give us some eye candy would ya please???

HESS 44: 9/16ths after removing a frown! Yup I were a policeman in my misspent youth.

Stainless is good:

Couldn't resist! Still great blades!!

Dovo-Inox 5/8 ( my first razor purchase i still havent used yet ..lol )

J.A. Henckels Inox 472 6/8

I have two Stainless blades, Dovo Master's and a Wacker.

I have been exclusively shaving with the Dovo for the last year or so (too lazy to wipe the oil off my other razors) Whilst I am careful to dry it off after i shave, it is good that the stainless is more forgiving. No problems at all with honing either of them.

ok , fixed problem .. pics above in other post .. a quick cell phone shots ..

picked this up in an antique shop this year, light cleaning and hone

Per request, my Dovo Inox Ebenholz after sharpening out strop damage. It was easier to sharpen than the resto on my rusted carbon steel Red Imp. OH WAIT; don't have to worry about rust so much on a stainless, huh? Maybe that's why it was my FIRST straight razor purchase, before I knew if I would like shaving with a straight razor. (If I had decided to only keep and use it occasionally, I didn't want to have to agonize about rust or losing its edge) If Dovo made a Bismarck or a Flow in stainless, I'd buy it!

A very cryptic reply eod7, maybe after a few beers later I will understand?

Yes, keep drinking.
