The Mamba was a grower for me, initially I thought it too mild but you just need to find the angle. Find it and hold it and it does a great job with comfort to rival the PILS. I found it liked a steeper angle than I usually use owing to the blade curvature. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on it vs the Oristo. The Guerrilla handle is not my favourite aesthetically and while it’s comfortable to use I wish they’d offered a 13mm diameter one with the same style. Most of my three piece razors end up making friends with an iKon Bulldog handle.Chris I was torn between the Guerilla and Mamba but prefer the looks of the Mamba and love the Oristo. The fat handle on the Guerilla really puts me off. Look forward to receiving the Mamba now as I have similar taste to you.
It is quite a step up and TBH I don’t use it much now, but for a solid brass razor it deserves to be in my top 5 and it gives a great shave albeit one requiring more care than my usual choices.Pils, yes; Mamba, makes sense; Guerrilla, I see a pattern here; Tech, sure. And then boom, Fatip OC! The only of your five I don’t have, nor have I ever tried one, but it’s significantly more aggressive than your other four, ne pas?
