Usually we discuss mostly the weight of different materials, or if they develop a patina or not.
I recently told a friend that the DSCosmetic V92 and V95 brass razor heads are just the same as the S9 razor head in steel, maybe with slightly different gap of presumably .92 and .95 vs .9 for the S9.
The S9 is one of the fancier clones of the Game Changer .84P, with a slightly changed baseplate that allows grabbing the plate from below, plus perhaps reducing weight a bit.
The reasoning was like this:
1. Shiny golden brass is looking very nice
and...
2. ... brass feels premium on the skin and is "warmer" than steel.
The latter got me thinking. I have a few brass razors and a few bronze razors.
I mainly compared my Lambda Ares in bronze and my Athena in steel. Weight-wise they are near identical, so no real difference there.
But yeah, I also noticed bronze (a fancy kind of brass.... don't beat me ) is faster getting warmer, adjusting to the temperature of face and lather, than steel.
Now I was wondering about titanium. As something about titanium heads on my skin feels not as good as bronze/brass or steel.
These are just my initial thoughts, I need to get a few more shaves in, but it got me thinking for sure.
It's not just the weight that is different!
