I picked up my first stainless steel straight. Dovo en vogue, I think it is, with the zebra/damascus looking blade. Took longer obviously to get a really nice edge. But it came around and popped hanging hair easily, and ran great across the finger nail. Ok, time to shave and what a different feel from the start. I can really notice just how stiff the blade is. Actually not pleasant. Shave easily, clean after one pass, but a harsh fell to it. Only shaved twice with it twice, so I will give some more time.

Any one else get this sort of feed back from their stainless? Any suggestions? Yes I know I could get rid of it. My collection is pushing beyond.. Should I expect this response from all stainless razors?
