The B1 Standard has a lot of blade feel but I find it very smooth and of course close. The brother of the Standard is the Tek which is the aluminum sintered version.

I had a brilliant shave this morning with the Green Cult SS 1.0. (first shave)
When I got this razor the pervious owner shorted the handle by quite a bit after looking at pics of it online.
It didn't feel good in my hand the RazoRock handle is perfect in my opinion for weight and balance.
I agree entirely with @Errol review on the Green Cult (check it out its a great read).
The razor easily sliced through five days growth and straight away I realized it must be respected.
I would not recommend this razor if you prefer razors on the mild side because it can bite.
It gave me a small weeper below my lip and a small nick on my Adams apple.
The RazoRock Puros works well its scent of fresh cut tobacco and leather is very nice. ( And I'm not a smoker)
One pass WTG and just a touch up pass ATG done. (ATG pass hardly needed)
Cheers.

All razors can bite. Including those multi-blade thingies you see at Colesworths. I once sported a neat quadruple incision from such folly...

That brush handle is gorgeous. I have been thinking about a somewhat similar profile for my next @TroyTools custom brush, which I won't be asking for until 2026. Plenty of time to get the design just right...
