For those unaware aluminum bronze is an alloy of aluminum, copper, along with other trace metals and is characterized by being corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and strength. Sounds like the perfect material for safety razors and yet, I haven’t found any examples of razors being made out of this. Why do you think this is? P.S. Turns out there is also an alloy called aluminum brass which is similarly corrosion resistant but slightly less strong. I would ask the same question about this material as well.

      Interesting that they don’t mention “aluminum bronze” in the marketing. I wonder if all bronze razors are aluminum bronze.

        Unfortunately, most websites I have seen don’t bother to specify the specific alloy formulation they use.

        Yeah, they mention the type of bronze and if you google it, it shows up as an alu bronze, but no mention otherwise.
