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 ๐Ÿคท

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.
