Have any of you damaged your sink or tile with a razor? If so, what kind of razor?
I found a thread here from 2015 about dropping razors that seemed to be motivated by this same concern, but I thought I'd ask again more directly.
The background is I acquired a stainless Tatara Muramasa for a very good price, one that I don't think I'll come across for some time again.
I love the razor, it's everything I wanted it to be — smooth, precise, efficient, very mild — except for one thing, the weight. It's my first stainless razor and I've learned from it I prefer something a bit lighter. I've gotten used to the weight in using it, but have also become very concerned about dropping the razor and breaking the tile floor, quartz countertop, or porcelain sink. I think the stainless Muramasa would damage most other things in the bathroom before itself would get damaged.
Because of this I've become very interested in a titanium Muramasa. I've always thought the titanium was sort of gimmicky or extravagant, but now having had the stainless Muramasa, it makes a lot of sense to me. It is very expensive for me though and I'm not sure it's worth the price. It might be, but might not be.
Also, if you have any suggestions for a mild negative exposure razor (say, the Muramasa on 1-2) that's cheaper and lighter in weight than steel, but not zinc, I'm interested. I've thought about a Karve aluminum but am not sure if there's other options.
