Help me decide - Wolfman copper or bronze

I recently got a bronze WR1 and cannot be happier!

My Choice would be Copper   for many reasons..

I recently got a bronze WR1 and cannot be happier!

Is this the Antique bronze finish ? The head appears polished, and the handle antiqued ? What gap ?

I purchased this razor (SB 0.74) in basic polish and antiqued it myself. The head and the handle have the same level of polish. The visual difference is due to my armature attempt to take a nice portent style photograph. However, the handle and head have different hues - the handle is more on the yellow/green side and the head is almost dark purple.

I used my new copper Wolfman today, and it reminded me that a bright polished copper razor is very cheering in the morning, lifting my spirits.

Copper is both a heavy and a soft metal; if you drop it, you'll regret it.  Bronze is hard, and lighter than SS, but water spots easily which are hard to remove.  Also, Wolfman razors are notoriously handle heavy.  So were it me, (for better balance) I'd get an SS head with a Ti handle, and leave the copper brass and bronze alone.

I think copper looks the most beautiful - I love the colour more than bronze - and I enjoy the weight of copper. Obviously the patination or the maintenance needed to keep it new are considerations, but I quite like the colouring as copper patinates.

Here’s my Copper WR1. I absolutely love the gratients of colour as the light catches the curves and facets of the Darwin handle.

Either one look nice so get whichever one attracts you. If you really need further advise just get both.

And here is the same Copper WR1 with a month of patina. The top cap especially has a good amount of purple and bronze in the mix now. I think it’s a different but equal beauty now - but a big change for one month.

Is the bronze quick to patina?
