Any thread will do so in time, but I've not had any problems with razors that have had brass or steel threads running into aluminium handles for many decades e.g. Techs and Pal DEs.The problem with using an SS handle is that eventually the aluminum threads will perish.
If it's such a good razor that everybody loves, then an SS version will guarantee longevity.
I'm all for it.

With Shavecraft aluminium heads on stainless handles, I always keep the threads lightly lubricated with waterproof silicon grease. I also do this for all-aluminium razors, and I find that, apart from preserving the threads, it also helps in avoiding cross-threading.
I'm sure that a Colonial, be it the brass prototyped, or stainless, would be a very good razor. It will, however, be a very different thing to the aluminium version, in terms of handling and so forth, and I'm not entirely sure that the longevity would, for me, be sufficient compensation for the quite radical alteration in what I consider a superb razor "as is".
Each to his own, naturally.
Thank god it's going to be 6.00pm here. Finger on the trigger, testing. testing.
Sounds like it's worth a look, I do like a heavier razor and I do like brass.The Brass General is out on April 1, 2017 at 11:00 AM ET. The price will be $99.99 + shipping.
In e-mail they wrote:
The newly-designed handle is approximately 12.20 mm in diameter and 83 mm long. It is not slippery and gives The General a more minimalistic look. The total weight of the razor is approximately 130 grams, which is considerably more than the 44 gram aluminum version.
How does the brass razor shave compared to the aluminum version? In our opinion, it takes The General to a whole new level in efficiency and performance! The aluminum is a wonderful version, but we feel the brass is going to be loved even more by the community. If you love the aluminum version, you will love the brass even more! If you've never tried The General, we are hoping to earn your business and you can see for yourself why so many gentlemen and ladies in the community have spoken highly of it since our release in August 2016.
We have decided to stock this first batch of brass razors on April 1, 2017 at 11:00 AM ET. The price will be $99.99 + shipping.

Yes I'm in the same spot, I will have to wait a while before I purchase one, but that gives me a chance to see some reviews beforehand .Absolutly! But to me it looks like new razor. It's heavier, shorter handle... That change lot! But I agree with you - it's worth a look!
But not from this batch! My funds are dry. Only if someone give me unexpected birthday present!
