Super good looking. It will get a patina to it but its famously corrosion resistant. There is a reason they make propellers out of it.
I’m not sure how it will go for galvanic corrosion from the blades. Should be fine with stainless screws/parts.
Comment on Do you think aluminum bronze would be a good razor material?

Ahhh. Important distinction.
In that case it is likely just a cost and practicality thing. Copper alloys are significantly more expensive than stainless steels or plastics. They’re a little harder to form and shape as well due to their cold work hardening properties (the more you bend it, the harder it gets, until it breaks; stainless is more ductile in this regard).
It would be pretty, but I guess manufacturers have likely not determined an economic benefit to making a higher end, more expensive, harder to manufacture razor body out of these metals.

Then why are stainless steel razors often more expensive than brass? Also with its lower melting point means it can be cast and I have heard machining stainless steel is difficult to machine.
