Why out of interest would you want an aluminium top cap for you brass Hone?Looks great. I wish I could buy the aluminum top cap for my original Hone
I could not detect any more aggression to be honest, but then how much is a tad, not a unit of measurement I'm aware of! Lol!The aluminum version is apparently a tad more aggressive. My Hone 15 is lovely but just a bit too mild for me.
Looks better than I expected, but: No heat retention!!View attachment 20488 Not really its just something I put together using the parts of my Hone razors but it works well, not as heavy as the orignal Hone but not as light as the new one.
The balance is up near the head, it looks good and shaves very well!
Using the brass handle and aluminium base plate along with the brass top cap does not work at all...too much weight in the handle and not enough in the head!
I'm not convinced by that. I think the extra blade feel you get from the 15a is due to the reduced weight. The extra weight from the brass 15 detracts from the blade. Or something like that... YMMV...The aluminum version is apparently a tad more aggressive

What about brass top cap, aluminium base plate and handle?

Pity. In that case I prefer the brass 15. Pity again, as that's not what I haveDifferent threads so can not put brass top cap with aluminium handle.
Buy one, well worth the money.Pity. In that case I prefer the brass 15. Pity again, as that's not what I have
... not for me... I only had two DE shaves last month. I'm too far down the SE rabbit hole at the moment..Buy one, well worth the money.
