Any Stainless lovers in the house?
I've seen a few threads about stainless blades and comparing them to carbon steel. Generally I've seen the consensus around here to be more in favor of a carbon steel or that there is no difference. I'm wondering if there is anyone else here who does notice a difference??
I've used the different makes and grinds but I have found my favorite razors that give me the smoothest shave are my 7/8 Friodur, 7/8 Sansoucci and my 6/8 folding kamisori... All three are stainless and generally don't need a mid-shave stropping to keep it going.
My disclaimer here is that I am shaving my head so there is a lot more surface area to shave and I generally put more of a strain on the blade but I have still found that my Friodur and Sansoucci (both honed by me) have a longer lasting edge and shave smoother than ones I've sent off to a honemeister (not knocking the honemeisters, its actually a difference in the steel for me)
Anyone else out there have similar experiences? Opposites?
Obligatory pics:
The far left blade is made from Asami Stainless and I generally use it for my face and touchups. The Friodur and Sansoucci and for the head.
