Got a Racer R314 (same as the Lord L111) on the Bay for 99 cent . Tried it as soon as it came in. Balance is good, it is a bit aggressive. You do not have to bother about angle. That has been taken care of by the designers. Got a CCS in 2 passes WTG with a RACER blade. It is a two piece razor like the Wilkinson Classic. Changing the blade is a bit difficult as you have to touch the edge of the blade to do so (at least I had to). I used a towel and it went fine. Overall, a nice razor. I will keep using it. Would make a good starters or travel razor too.
