If Theo ever decides to make an Ares SS I will be there waiting.The ares remains the best DE I’ve used but the maintenance was a bit much for me. I’m very happy with my Masune open comb base plate. I’m curious if this will beat the Tatara. Perhaps a stainless fits the bill for me, although the price tag on them was insane.
I have the bronze Ares. The amount of maintenance is minimal. I use Flitz. You rub it on and wash it off. Dry the razor with a micro fiber cloth and back to new. If you like the look of bronze, get the Ares or Athena, minimal maintenance. If you want no maintenance, notify Theo at Lambda of your interest in a Stainless Steel razor.I'd like to try the Ares one day but I'm kind of like you in that I'm not a huge fan of the extra maintenance required with bronze. Maybe if I ever see a steel one I'll try it.
What was the expensive steel razor, the Tatara or the Ares?
