Is Copper lighter than Steel?+1 vote for a vintage Windsor Copper - it already has the look!
I have the Steel SSM1 but it’s heavy
What about Titanium?

Copper is heavier than iron or steel - the density of elemental copper is 8,944 kg/m3, the average stainless alloy is slightly less than 8,000 kg/m3. I don't have a stainless Windsor, but as a practical comparison, the Calypso copper handle is 82.2g, and the Calypso stainless on ATT's site is listed as 73g. Elemental Titanium is a little over half the density of stainless steel - 4,250 kg/m3.

How is the Windsor under and around the nose? I already have the Tatara and love it! Maybe I’ll add another razor to my collection?

That’s what I thought...although I would have guessed that the elemental density of copper would have been around 8,943 kg/m3 instead of 8,944 kg/m3!
Ok -1 vote for Copper

Just got a notification that Italian Barber has the RazoRock GameChanger .68-P back in stock. Is this a worthy contender for the Mild Razor competition? (I already have the Mamba .53 on the way.)

Have you tried the Mamba?
Mamba .53 is considerably milder.

Actually, the answer is "it depends" - on who you ask and how they measure it. If you calculate the density from atomic weight, the answer is 8,960 kg/m3, at 293 degrees Kelvin, at sea level. That's not going to happen with real world meaurements with real world materials, so any "real" standard industrial measure is going to be - sort of - an average. So I'll give you 8,943 kg/m3 ( actually, a common number is 8,940). In short, a block of copper a yard plus wide is really, really heavy. Really.

Both are superb...just different feel!
The Windsor “glides” whereas the Tatara surgically “cuts”
vs 🗡

I ordered the GameChanger .68 for $65 (Priority Shipping). I figured why not. A lot of gents use this as their daily driver! Worst case scenario...I sell it on BST 
I finally read this thread. Of the razors currently in production that were mentioned, I have the Wolfman SB SS 1.05, the ATT S-1, and the Feather AS-D2. Of the three the Feather is the mildest the Wolfman the most efficient and the best combination of smoothest and efficient hand down is the A-1.

I have the ATT SSM-1. How does it compare against your three in terms of performance (smoothness + efficiency)?
I have sensitive skin, so I prioritize comfort.
Thanks.
I don't have the SSM-1 so can't comment on that. I did have the ATT S-2 but prefer the S-1.

Ok. Thanks!

I have had both the Mamba 53 and the Game Changer 68. I much prefer the Mamba 53. I found the GC no more efficient than the Mamba, but considerably harsher in terms of blade feel and chatter. I sold the GC but still have the Mamba. But neither will dethrone the Henson AL 13, I predict.

Well, you've been right so far! Just wanted to try a few more "legends" while waiting for the Henson Ti to get restocked!
P.S. Today I had my second very smooth, nick-free shave with the AL13...with basically ZERO alum feedback
Amazing!
