I can’t compare the same razor in zamac and stailess, but the Greencult has a drag that none of my other razors have, and my Karve also drags a bit. Maybe some polishing would heh 🤷

@PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social mentioned that he finds that chrome-plated razors glide better on his skin that stainless steel razors. Since I have my R41 comparison going anyway, I used them both and tried to feel a difference. It’s tricky since they feel different being of vastly different weight, but I couldn’t really feel a meaningful difference in how they slide over the lather. YKMV, I guess.

I wonder whether it may be more a function of the shape. The R41 GT in titanium has a matte, stone washed-like finish, and I don’t feel any drag from it either. So smooth stainless steel (polished), zamac (chrome plated), and rough surface titanium all don’t drag.
