The 3rd shave in with the Copper and just like the Ti version, just a comfortably smooth and efficient working razor. I’m dealing/experimenting with angles of attack on what potentially gives me the overall better results without skipping on comfort and ease of use while keeping the closeness of shave to my standards/needs. Previous 2 shaves have produced 9-10 hours of whisker free growth, more than enough for an 8 hour work day, for me at least. So far, it has met expectations on a small sampling and I see it only getting better with use with minor adjustments in technique for optimal performance. Just like the Ti, this is a real good razor.

Great shaves to all…:cheers:

Went with a Wizamet blade after a couple days of not shaving. Worked like a charm in the Copper D-back. Equally as smooth as the Feather with near the same cutting ability. The head design of the D-back does contribute significantly with the very little change in blade feel between the aforementioned razors. The weight is also a big factor as very little pressure if any is required from the user in getting the Copper version to perform on par with the Titanium though the Ti alloy is much easier to maneuver and offers better overall balance. They both shave very well and offer a nice dynamic in shave feel yet still achieving near identical results.

Mate,
There is only one thing that does bother me, maintaining this beaut going forward. I'm not a metal genius but is the Diamondback C plated with some sort of rose gold etc. or is it just copper polished? Looks stunning.

Taken from the website: " Machining is complete, and the razors are now going out for high gloss polishing. No sealant is being used, so the razors will add a patina over time. Pics will be added when they are polished, but even as-machined, they are looking good."

I’ll be honest it was some time ago.
From memory it lasts quite a while before needing reapplication. It’s really good, you’ll see it recommended elsewhere

so, seeing that it is used by museums, I take it that it has no detrimental effect on the finish..

I've been informed that it should ship today, so hoping its journey is swift, and that it gets through customs hassle free.
