Yes, he dropped a complete razor on the floor

Yeah bummer - that’s never a good thing no matter how strong the material. It is still weak in size compared to gravity and the floor.

Weren't some of the early v1.0 heads made of zamak? I thought so, but may be remembering incorrectly. The cross section does not look like solid stainless to me either.
Ok, the curiosity got the best of me, and although I just received my Karve Overlander, I ordered the GC with the II plate. Yourshaving.com offers a ~10% discount using the code YSC, so that makes the GC a sub $100 purchase. Since the deal was so sweet, I ordered a soap I've been wanting to try, SAPONIFICIO VARESINO Manná di Sicilia. Worst case scenario, if the GC, or the soap doesn't work for me, I can offer it up on the BST. Now the wait from Spain begins, LOL.
You guys are killing my wallet, just sayin.'

I sort of love tracking shipments from Spain.... the anticipation is like those old Heinz ketchup commercials....
Well, my last shipment from overseas came from Connaught Shaving in the UK and it took about two months, so...
But it sounds like, from reading this thread, others have successfully ordered from Yourshaving.com, so I'll just have to wait, LOL.

This is the Stainless Steel version. Gap 0.95 and Expo 0.25.
Yeah I know - I was merely pointing to the fact that it is stainless steel so this must have required some force to snap. Thanks,
Guido
They were, but only the “real” version 1. The second version 1 is the stainless steel everyone is referring to as 1.0
My shave report there.
I have quite a beef with the finish and the handle, but this razor is rock solid, I really am WTFed and shocked that the thread broke!!!

What razor/blade did you use today
3/19: Lord L5, Rainbow SS, Irish Spring, VDH boar, SkinBracer. Nice Sunday shave. Next shave: Lord L6.

I hand polished mine. No mirror shine by any stretch but in my opinion worlds better than bead blasted.
Looks like metal injection molding and not CNC machined....
That is what I thought as well. Solid stainless would look different if broken, like sheared metal. This looks like molded zamak that snapped to me too. Take a look at the difference in the top caps:
Green Cult Steel Razor
Level II is on par with the Rocca and level III has just a bit more blade feel in my opinion. The GC razor is much heavier than the Rocca as well. I have been shaving with the Rocca for some months now. I just received the GC with both II and III plates. I’m looking forward to the comparison!

It does resemble the earlier versions of the Rocca cap.
That’s because they are different. The second picture is the 1.1 cap whereas the first picture is the 1.0 cap - at least based on the difference in baseplate.That is what I thought as well.

Ah, you're right, good point. Still the cross section of the threaded post looks like zamak to me.
Or MIM as @muzichead suggested.
It is probably not even that.
I checked the shop.
The 1.0 looking model is now called 1.1. It's CNC and stainless steel, no idea if it is slightly different to the 1.0.
That's the 2.0:
And here it comes... DRUMROLL:
Greencult BASIC looks like 1.0 and has the previous slightly <50 EUR price, but comes with a Zamac head made in China.
I can only speculate, but as I have seen stainless steel head only get a shiny blemish at max when getting dropped and not break like Zamac, I believe @JacobW 's friend bought this one and believed it's the stainless version. But it's Zamac.
That’s correct. Fairschenkt first came out with this razor and after having production challenges or issues they decided to produce the head themselves (and in stainless steel).
Still available at their website I believe. No information on blade exposure or gap.
It is probably not even that.

This is the razor of my friend from the Polish forum... It is Green Cult version V1 or as they called V1. 0 stainless steel with a blade gap of .95 and Exposure of 0.25. I have two razors myself.. Green Cult in this version...It is probably not even that.

According to the manufacturer, it is stainless steel....
The best part is that my other friend from the group on Traditional Shaving in Poland sent me a picture of a Blackland Dart the day after... It fell to the floor for him too... I see those steel razors are poorly made.
