The Mamba and BBS are very similar. The BBS bends the blade more and I think may have slightly positive blade exposure while the Mamba has neutral to slightly negative blade exposure. Blade exposure is highly influenced by the width of the blades so that’s why matching a blade like an Astra or Nacet rather than a Feather or Kai (both of which are sharp yes but slightly wider than the blades that come out of the Gillette factory in St. Petersburg) is so important for blade exposure and thus the tendency to wound ones self while shaving. That said the BBS with its greater flex of the blades and the Mamba are both very smooth and similar and in fact both are in my top tier of razors along with the Rockwell 6S using 2,3,4 plates. The 6S also has neutral blade exposure with Nacet or Astra, btw.

The Mamba and BBS are beautifully elegant in appearance to my eye. I like to pair them with other handles like the Outlaw or a Titanium Pineapple.

The 6S has an industrial almost steam-punk appearance and feel that’s quite handsome as well - albeit in a different way.

@@Mvendrel I have to admit that my 6s keeps getting overlooked as I reach for my Karve, Blackbird, Masamune & Masamune Nodachi. But I always get a great shave with the 6s whatever plate I choose. All in all its probably one of my best razors. Dave.

@@davesheppard8797 If you like the 6S and/or BBS you'll like the Mamba -- probably the .70 based upon the other razors you like. I slightly prefer the .53 for daily use. I shave almost every day for work as a physician and need to be clean shaven or grow an actual beard -- but scruffy doesn't work for me or the hospital! For continuous variable razors I like the Slim, FatBoy (Rhodium re-plate), Parker Variant, and the Rockwell T2 (although the head is a bit wide with too much dead-space on ends for me). I have a variable Pearl V7 I haven't tried yet. I'm pretty sure I'd Like the Masamune razors. I have not as yet sprung for a Rex Ambassador but it may be too aggressive for me based upon what others, including Matt of RE, have said. I wanted to like the Backbird Sabre (Gem razor) as did my son Lukas (nearly 30) but alas we both found it quite harsh even with the PTFE coated blades and we've got it up for sale. A friend is going to pass on his Blackbird Vector to us as he finds it overly harsh as well. I'm hoping Lukas or I like it as it is certainly a beautiful and uniquely designed AC razor. Lukas is a big fan of the RazorRock Hawk in all it's variations but especially the aluminum V2. His favorite AC blade is the Kai Captain Mild "Pink". My favorite SE razor is actually a Schick I, J, or M (variable) with a Japanese Schick blade or a NOS Schick Plus Platinum. I started shaving at age 14 in 1965 with Schick Injectors and still find them hard to beat even though I've tried almost every modern SE razor that is currently available. Anyway -- just my opinions as to what has worked best and not so much for me.

I like both SS (Blue) and SP (Green) Astra blades but for me slight nod goes to the Blue (SS) at least in this razor. Sig Solo YT channel did a blind test and he concluded upon unveiling that the SS Blue were better for him. Check it out.

The Mamba and 6S are similar in the way they shave. Both excellent. Cheers. Kevy 👍

@@kevyshaves4109 I think that the similarly of the Mamba and the 6S, with which I concur, is because both have neutral blade exposure. 6S is a favorite of mine too using 2,3,4 plates. I have one that’s two tone back and red and another that has its top plate and guides custom polished - I got it from a bloke in Australia via eBay. To my eye the Mamba is more gracefully beautiful while the 6S is industrial almost steam-punk handsome. With 38 minutes to live I might do a quick A-B with both ;-)

@@kevyshaves4109 Yes I will do. Thanks you.

Good to hear you're still enjoying the soap. I thought the Astra Greens wete Platinum coated and the Blue's were stainless. I coukd be wrong though 😂 Cheers Alex. Kevy 🙂

Actually the Blue are Stainless Steel and the Green are “Super Platinum” and there is a difference. Check out Sig Solo blind test. I too have found them similar but different. Both are great blades but at least in the Mamba I prefer the Blue (SS). The Green are made in St. Petersburg. The Blue may be made instead in the Czech Republic - I’ve seen conflicting info on their country of manufacture.

@@kevyshaves4109 Kevy, you are correct.
