It's not the weight that puts me off brass it's keeping it looking clean. The lack of weight would put me off aluminium though, I didn't like the Standard for that reason, although I think I'm in the minority.
The samples I have use the same texture as the brass (not quite as heavy) and they appear to work the same way. The reduced weight also helps.A questions for @Hone - somehow the finish on the brass handle becomes very secure in the hand as it gets wetter. Would this apply to the new materials as well, or is it unique to brass?
There are two of us in that minority Chris @chris.hale - I just haven't been able to love the Standard at all...
I paired mine with an Ikon OSS handle and it made a world of difference.I love the way the standard looks but it feels awful in the hand and doesnt feel like a quality product to shave with (my opinion, i know people will disagree)

Intresting, will have to try this. Thanks MikeyJ.
I don't own a Hone but have voted for Aluminium..just because I have a few Stainless steel razors and would like to see another Aluminium razor.
Thanks Andrew (Hone) for asking our opinions. Choice of handles would be aswome.
Hopefully it ages as well as she is/willSo for me stainless steel would be great, a razor needs a bit of weight, im getting a hone at some point this year! Like i said before andrew, the hone is the natalie portman of razors in my opinion....
