Aluminum razors

I don't really see anything new there (I don't think).
What I want to see is a normal/regular production of the open comb Tritok.

For what's it worth, I really enjoy the ATT Calypso Regular plate - a lovely smooth yet efficient shave. I understand that Blackland have bought ATT and are planning to relaunch some of the ATT line.

The Hone 15a is also a great razor - beautiful, smooth and efficent.

The makers of both of those razors first made stainless steel and brass models before designing and producing aluminum versions - both noted the difference in designing and producing razors that would perform well in that material. It sounds as if a lot of effort went in to produce alumnum razors that stand out on their own in terms of functionality and asthetic.

Final thought - when you hit the sweet spot with the ATT it sings lke a bird - as every YMMV.

All the best,

Chris

Go vintage?

There's the late model Tech with the aluminium baseplate and spiral handle, which is very light. Likewise, there's the ASR Tech-alike in the same format with heavier top cap but aluminium baseplate and handle.

... or this lovely thing:





... which we believe is a demob razor, entirely aluminium and very light indeed!
