Point taken. I would like to keep the bronze on a stand however it's still the honeymoon period and I do like to dry and keep safe in it's house.less maintenance for me. I am very lazy. The bronze is very smooth on the face, but so is the SS for me.

FWIW, I wash and dry my razors after each shave. OCD at its finest. My laziness on the bronze is removing the patina after several months. This is really not a big deal since the product I use makes it relatively simple. Flitz. I keep all my razors on a stand.
I don’t seem to care for the lighter weight of titanium razors but I just love a stainless steel razor head on top of a titanium handle. I also like bronze and brass razor heads on hollow bronze handles. That 40 to 45 grams for a handle is my sweet spot.
Athena head crown handle?
Absolutely not your fault.
No, the Athena is an anomaly for me. The handle is much heavier than my norm, but seems to disappear when in use. I have a 40 gram Wolfman hollow handle and when I tried it with the Athena, I immediately switched back to the OEM handle.
It must be the finger butt rest (tm).
That's what I use and really like it!
FWIW, this stand from Nortoncustomdesign at Etsy is great for displaying the razors and at the same time allowing the heads to air dry.Nice collection there @walpan - and coincidentally a great side view of the Ares. Those teeth are much more bent than Theo’s website makes me believe.
Thanks! O and keep up the OCD - it’s much more fun to have company while doing my post shave gear routine
I share this sentiment.
This is where I keep finding myself returning to as well. It balances out the heads of my Athena, Gamechanger and Overlander nicely.
It's nice to have choices.

Well, I succumbed, finally. How long does it take to arrive in the US?
It will seem like forever.
And yet it will be worth the wait.
I should be about 10 days if you live in the midwest. It is worth the wait, you will see.
Congratulations.
Mine took about 3 weeks. Patience is a virtue, or so I've been told.
Last I looked there was one on the BST if anyone wants one faster.
Guido, as if my routine wasn't OCD enough, I have now started using a Hydrosonic cleaner for all my razors once a month. If nothing else, I know my hardware is spotless.Nice collection there @walpan - and coincidentally a great side view of the Ares. Those teeth are much more bent than Theo’s website makes me believe.
