Quality comes from how it's made, not from the material used.

I see that one razor manufacturer has stated that a brass razor will last a lifetime whereas a stainless steel razor will last 10,000 years. So there you have it

Stainless steel razors are popular and somewhat common. I've been tempted to buy one, but never have.
What are the pros and cons of a stainless steel razor? Why would I want one?
It seems to me they often are expensive, and they may be uncomfortably heavy.
Because you are seriously infected with RAD with no cure in sight?
Stainless steel razors are good. Brass razors are good. Zamak razors are good (touching wood, with my fingers crossed, as I type this last sentence).
Some pot metal razors are okay, and some are absolute junk.
Machined aluminum heads are better, depending on type of head, aggressiveness and one's personal preference.
Machined stainless steel heads are better still, also depending on type of head, aggressiveness and one's personal preference.
I agree. But the razors durability is at least partially a function of the material it is crafted from.
I like brass razors. They have great weight and feel, and new ones can be picked up quite reasonably. Brass is a very good and acceptable material to make safety razors out of. A razor lasting 10,000 years is frankly above my ability to care. I say if you want stainless more power to you. For me I love my brass razors and have no desire for a stainless steel razor.
