Copper very interesting for its antimicrobial properties and heft not to mention appearance.  Some swear by BakeLite. Aluminium HardKote is the best mild shaving razor ever used by far (and hated Al prior to trying the H&S). Waiting for somebody to do a Carbon Fibre razor: real CF from handle to head done to MotorSports standards which suspect is the ultimate presuming geometry done right.  Other metals for sure deserve mention: Beryllium which will kill the user but man what a shave!  Haha

I prefer light materials.
About metals, my dream is to see all the best models available in new hitech aluminium alloys as 6061 or 7075.
Normally, also the "light" Titanium makes very unbalanced a 90-100mm handled razor.
And the long handle is a must for me, to fine control the cutting angle.
With my dermatitis this is the most important factor.

New resin with laser 3D print is a great material too.
So precise than seems to be CNC machined.

   I'm wondering what kind of titanium handle a guy could use for a carbon stainless steel head I believe they're 10-32 standard threads versus the metric of most. Somebody can correct me if that's not right feel free to. Any thoughts on a titanium handle like that?

I believe Carbon shaving have titanium handles in 10-32 threads.

I returned my Timeless Ti head. I found that the SS head & Ti handle Combo had the best balance for me. I ordered my Ss wolfman with a hollow handle and the effect is the same. As others have said, it’s really a matter of preference and budget more than quality of shave.

There are just so many great razors options out there. We're spoiled. I love that it's hit the point where there are lots of material options. When I got my first safety razor I never would have imagined that people could be mixing at matching materials to find the perfect shave.

you don't think that would be too light?

Hard to define too light. One thing is certain, if engineered properly, the transmission of desired feedback would be beyond anything existent.  Carbon Fibre unique in ease with which properties can be induced and on a consistent basis. Of course gap, exposure and ultra low stack height woult be critical. Further removing blades would be mandatory to prevent galvanic corrosion.

What about silver razor head? Noble metal, antibacterial, used for silverware for at least 2000 years.

Ti/CF combo provided for the carbon shave co passaround is 33g. Too light for me. Can't imagine full CF for that reason alone.
